What’s with the photos?

By | C4D, cinematography, film, gear, news | No Comments

Hi all, recently I’ve posted a few seemingly random images on instagram and twitter and I’ve had a bunch of emails from people asking if I’ve moved away from 3D. I thought I would give a brief rundown of my history so you understand more of what I’m about. So, I started out as a photographer, back in the 90s. I’d studied photography, art and film at college but spent much time in the dark room (yes, this was pre digital) and fell in love with the process, not just the shooting but the the post processing.  So much so…

  Hi all, I’m really excited to announce the launch of Volume 1, from my series of hires textures for CG artists ( a selection of which you see above).

Tutorial | The parallax effect with photoshop

By | free, Training | No Comments
I was recently asked if it was possible to add some depth to a photo, using only photoshop and here's the answer. Of course you can use Fusion or After Effects but for a quick efficient result Photoshop does the job and handles a lot of the tedium for you.

Radeon ProRender with Maya tutorial

By | C4D, free, gear, Product, render, Training | No Comments

Hello all and happy new year. Hope you are all rested and recovering from the festivities. Things are hotting up here already but for now I just wanted to share this tutorial I created for Digital Arts, all about using Radeon ProRender inside maya. It’s a great renderer, with a lovely material library and works a treat. Follow the link to read the tutorial and don’t forget ProRender is free, so grab it and give it a try. I had a lot of fun writing it and it was also a great reason to bring back MilgBot.

Promats Vol 1: Coming soon

By | C4D, news, Product, render | No Comments

I’ve been hard at work on new ways to help you get better results easily and it’s nearly ready. Promats is a collection of material packs, each with a particular focus, to give you the best results possible. Each pack will have Diffuse, Displacement, Normal, Weight and more channels as texture files ready for use with any material editor and render engine. Better yet, the packs will contain ready made materials for Cinema 4D, Cycles4D and Maxwell, so if you use them, then you are set to go the moment your download completes. The materials are all high resolution, so…

sung Galaxy S8 concept on Techradar

By | C4D, render | No Comments
Hi all, you'll all have varying views and opinions on what phone companies will do next but there is no denying that that is a good thing. It's funny watching the comments roll in when videos are posted showing what could be coming. I love doing these jobs and recently got to do this one for the Samsung S8. The modeling, rendering and some animation was all done by me, but the post work has tweaked timings and the render just doesn't look as nice now. A real shame as Maxwell did a great job but there you go. YouTube...
