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.
