Using some of the raw images for IFL taken by Philip Shtoll, I did some R&D with C4D MoGraph. Next step is to rig the web lines…

WDTV

Above are the Mood-Boards for Western Digital’s new WDTV Device Promo. We were asked to do a 30 second Promo piece. I was to come up with all creative, designs, dynamics, and animation. I have about three weeks to get this project done by myself. So far I have cleaned up all OBJ import from 3ds MAX to Cinema 4D. Set up the Thinking Particle system with Expresso. This project I am planning on combining real 3D with Trapcode Particular. So far, I am on schedule!

Below are the clips from the promo piece:

Barret’s Font Book!

knarfie — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:32:22 +0000

Recently, I saw a lot of design humor surrounds the “Font Book”. I did not realize a colleague of mine has the book sitting on her desk until today. With some free time on hand in the office, took some pictures of my beautiful colleague and performed a quick 5 minutes Photoshop magic. I added them to my daily-oh-so-famous-knarfa-chain-mail to my fellow designers…

LOL!

Above is our company’s Facebook iFrame application and layout. We decided to set the piece in an overall fantasy camp ground theme. The grass and slogan are done in Cinema 4D, I haven’t touch fur/hair in a while, and the texturing took some time, but the result came out quite well.
