Pivot

Pivot è un bel cortometraggio in 3d che quasi ricorda i primi videogame che ancora non potevano godere dei fantastici motori di rendering che utilizziamo oggi. Una bella storia, un uomo scatta una foto a quello che dinventerà l’uomo che vuole ucciderlo… e inizia a correre. […]

Cyborg of futures past (returns)..

I did a little project last year. Though it wasn’t posted here i thought i’d start now. This is how the clip ended up back then..

I finally got back round to this guy as I’ve been looking through old files to see what needed to be done for my new hd showreel. Not only am i re-working it for hd but i also taking the opportunity to update it.

The lighting of the scene wasn’t very ominous, you also get to see the bad guy straight away. So i took the scene to pieces and made it into layers (to give me more choices in compositing).

Along with the lighting the camera move in the last version never really made sense. So now i added a little more life to the shot..

I always wanted the power source in the center of his chest to be more like a plasma ball, so i made this too.

I’ve recently been messing around with a new way of doing muzzle flame so i thought i’d throw that in as well.

A few more sounds to make it more personal and it’ll be posting the results as soon as they’re finished rendering.. I have attached a still of the new version.

I am updating the rigging as well so the gun will be aiming properly by the next time you see him..

viewing internals of 3d lut…

Is it possible to open a LUT file with .cube extension? to know its internal workings… The file has been created inside of Nuke itself, and I need to open this file and see what color alterations have been done in this, and what nodes have been used… and then replicate the same fr fusion…
is this possible?
Also how does one make a lut file in nuke? I found the generate Lut node, and how to save the output file, but how do u modify the color to use as lut?:confused:

-Thanks

Anyone into The Dresden Files?

Hello, VFXers

I am trying like hell to find someone willing to help me with a short film. It’s only about 20 minutes long and it’s based on the short story “Restoration of Faith” by Jim Butcher.

The main character is Harry Dresden, wizard and private investigator. He has found a missing girl and is trying to get her across a bridge, but before he can do that he must defeat the troll that is guarding it. There’s a LOT more to it, you can read the original short story here:

http://www.jim-butcher.com/books/dresden/restoration/

I have written the script to it.

This isn’t going to premier anywhere other than online, but I’m hoping that once the author sees it, he may be intrigued in asking for more. He will soon be attaining the film rights to his series of books again, after the dreadful onslaught of the TV series on SciFi a couple years back.

If anyone’s interested, please contact me at starsandstones@yahoo.com
