This animated scene is part of a tech demo for a Plugin for Vray called "ISO Surfaces", by Dimo3D (http://www.dimo3d.blogspot.com/).

Check the VIDEO here:

The scene features mainly the coral and the stone that support it, both created with ISO Surfaces. Another things that you can see are the bubbles and debris, created with Particle Flow. The anemones are animated with Flex and a Wind Space Warp.

The video have a little postproduction to enfatize and make more realism, edited with Adobe Premiere Pro 2.

Hope do you like it, and we will add more animations from the tech demo, also the final demo, soon (or later) ]]> Mon, 19 Mar 2007 11:38:17 +0000 http://actpower.cgsociety.org/gallery/350978

This is a basket of Cherrys placed over a typical exterior table:

Rendered with Vray, retouches with Photoshop (color, DOF, filmnoise)


Little making Of:

The cherrys were previous modeled, taken from 3Dcafe. I modify a few of them for randomize
purposes.

For place it in the basket, first I model a low-res version of the basket and I duplicate the
Cherrys, place it over the basket in several "floors". With Simcloth I have done a simulation
for the fall and place it "easily". Once I get it, I add a TurboSmooth modifier for add mesh
resolution.

To create the wires of the basket, I used a Hi-res version of the basket, and over it I add a
Particle Flow, making a movement of a thousand of particles arround the basket. Later I run a
Script that converts the movement of the particles in a Splines.

I adjust mapping, Shaders, etc, to match that I want to visualize. The ilumination of the scene

its a bluish GI, with a direct light with area shadows. For the reflex I used a HDRI.

The original render its 1920*1280 (3:2 factor) and from this, in Photoshop I retouch the color,
apply a DOF effect using the separate Z-Depth map, and I add a preset of film noise.

The final image its that you can see. Itīs far to be perfect, and probably have several errors,
but I am happy with the final result.]]> Thu, 27 Apr 2006 11:33:18 +0000 http://actpower.cgsociety.org/gallery/332934

This is the "cover" for my demo reel video. If you want to see it, you can visit my web (http://actpower.net) for download it and see other formats for download (default is the HD version).

For making the video I used Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, and editing in HD. In fact, the master video is in HD res (1280*720), and the other sizes comes from this big size.

Enjoy It and if you have some time, write a word about it if you want. Greetings!
