Blender

Over the last few years I've been using Blender for my 3d work. Although it's open source there are many advantages of using it over other software. It can be used to make very tidy 3d meshes and has seemingly limitless potential. They have recently added a stack of new features including the ability to sculpt and paint models like in Z-brush. I like it a lot.

Wildcat Webshop

Between 2002 and 2005 I worked full time at Wildcat in Brighton UK as an in-house Graphic Designer and Web Developer.
Wildcat is a great company. They've been in the body jewellery business since the beginning and have a cult following.
The main goal at wildcat was to make it look cool by any means possible.
In 2006 I worked as a freelancer on this webshop project, using osCommerce for the back end.

The wildcat shop is online now and fully integrated with their local business software.

Robot: 3d Model

My main objective was to create very high quality graphics to show what this robot would look like.

Firstly I made a 3d model in Blender. The 4 arms are rigged to move correctly so I can pose the model as I want it and later animate it.

Robot: 3d Composite Illustration

Then I asked the client to take some photos of the vineyard to place the robot in. I was quite specific about the camera angles.

The trickiest part of this technique is matching the 3d perspective to the camera lens perspective.

Once i had matched the perspective I rendered the 3d model and then composited the render with the photograph using photoshop.

Robot: 3d Composite Animation

The final part of the project was to animate the composition.

Overall the client was very happy with all the work I did for them. My graphics helped them attract financial backing and they progressed through many entrepreneurial competitions, eventually coming second in the Australian national finals.

I have been asked to be on the main team for future projects.

T-shirts

I worked on some t-shirt designs for spherculism and firetoys.co.uk, here are some of them:
