The main reason I settled on this model was the...

Southern Creative Studios – New offices in Cheshire

For quite sometime now I’ve been working from my converted garage studio at home and whilst I do love working there it comes with its own problems. The main one is that working from home gives you lots of opportunities to do fun stuff that isn’t making you any money including Xbox360, playstation, a comfy couch on the decking, lots of nice food, a beer fridge,...

Lord Ignathius – ZBrush dynamesh sculpt

Almost every single project I work on now starts in ZBrush and usually with Dynamesh. I think Dynamesh has been the biggest workflow change I’ve gone through in over 10 years. It is so easy to build up a character shape in minutes with no thought of the topology at all. Whilst I am still passionate about my topology and edge flow I do love the freedom ZBrush gives...

Testing ZBrush on my new Retina MacBook Pro

I’ve been wanting to upgrade to a new Mac Book Pro for sometime now. My late 2009 MBP had started to feel sluggish on big renders and it has never performed as I’d like with ZBrush. When the new Apple machines were announced on the 11 June I ordered my right after the conference. I opted for the new 15″ Retina macbookpro with  2.6 Ghz, 16 gig of ram and...

Celestron Telescope – Cinema 4D Model

This Celestron inspired telescope WIP project is 100% Cinema4D and made with animation in mind. It is only loosely based on a Celestron Telescope but I’ve heavily modified it to suit the project. I’m currently trying to work out a sequence of shots to unfold it in an interesting way. Lots of mograph cloner, tracer and reeper cables. The modeling is...

Protect your Wacom hand! At your peril

I’ve been using a tablet input device since the early 1990′s. My first one was some sort of light pen for my Amiga 1200 and not only was it wired, it had a huge block at the tip end of the pen making it impossibly inaccurate. Certainly not a technological revolution but it did give me the first experience of drawing on a computer without a mouse or trackball....

Stills from my short film ‘The Recruit’

I’ve been working on game style models for a few months to use in a short film and I thought I’d share some of the wips. I wanted to do a little project that would stretch my Cinema4D skills and force me to learn After Effects. I’ve had the Adobe production suite for some time now and I’ve just needed the time to sit down ann learn how to use the...
