Logo Development
The brief for the logo was very specific. I was given several images of grape vines and asked to make the end half of it look robotic.
I made 3d models of vines and leaves using Z-brush and composited everything together with photoshop.
The first image below is the logo used on letter heads.
The second logo is used for slideshow presentations.
The last image shows 2 versions of the logo used in small situations, such as the business card.

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.
