Preorder my book sucka!!

That's right, get it now. What are you chicken?




The description is a little out of date, has the wrong title. I don't think there will be much on facial animation or eyes. there is a peapod full of eyes though...yup a peapod full of eyes.

In other news...go see Lies and Alibis at the AFI filmfest at the arclight on November 10th:AFI Filmfest

Little Car

Here's a little car I've been building in Modo. I'm enjoying the rederer immensly. Check out the blurry reflections on the ground. This guy ain't nearly done yet - all fairly basic shaders. I would like to paint some actual texture maps and give it a rusty faded look. maybe eventually. I'm making up the design as I go. I'm going for an odd 60s east european communist car look.

hoo doggy

Been busy lately. Working on the Maya book (only 39 more tutorials to go!). I'm creating some stills for a Hewlitt Packard campaign and I have some exciting science animations to start next week. I've been making lots of stuff but posting nothing. I'll try and remedy that soon. In the meantime the work I did on the ESPN campaign is due to premiere the weekend of the 10th, unfortunately it means watching football to see it but heym that's the price you pay. The directors on that project have a new site: www.kurtandmatt.com. Kurt Matilla and Matt Checkowski the best people I've worked for in Hollywood so far. Check out their site for details on the ESPN thing and their upcoming movie.

Almost forgot - ha! I git a new machine!! a Boxx dual duo core AMD with 4 gigs o' ram and a Quadro FX 1500. Its almost fast enough to keep up with my ridiculous demands. So far I like it. I have both PCs running. Maya 7 on one and Maya 8 on the other. Its all Maya all the time (with some Modo too). I may like rendering in Modo better than Maya.

I'm taking a Puddnhead class at Gnomon this term, starts in a few weeks, should be a blast - creature design with Photoshop. I reckon I ought to design a creature at some point.

'zall.
