Dubai Flow Motion
Posted in: Animation
My first impression of Dubai was that of super-tall buildings jutting out of the desert sand. However, after 3 months of exploration, research and filming, my lasting impression is of the eternal wonder of the desert and the importance it holds for the Emirati people. Dubai may be home to the world’s most outrageous skyline but Dubai’s desert dunes and historical creek are where you’ll find its soul. A special thank you to Dubai Film for making this project possible and for providing the extraordinary access which enabled me to realise this story. If you want to see more… An extended version of the airport baggage scene, from plane arrival to luggage cart in 4K here: http://youtu.be/m8n2o3Qx504?t=29s And also the creek scene in full, the original of this is 13500px (13.5K) across however in 4k here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAtzRAIpD30 Sound Design: Slava Pogorelsky Email: kultenyeuk@walla.com Facebook: facebook.com/Kultenyeuk Rob Whitworth Website: www.robwhitworth.co.uk/ Facebook: facebook.com/RobWhitworthPhotography Instagram: instagram.com/robwhitworthphotography

Just a video of me playing “International Tennis Open” for the ill-fated CD-i system. No commentary. I’m probably the only person who likes this game…..also, I was distracted at times by something while playing this, hence why I make some obvious mistakes.

Get some Lightwave 3D Love
Posted in: AnimationSun 15th Feb 2015 | News
Genoma 2 advanced rigging
For a limited time the LightWave 3D Group, a division of NewTek, is offering a $695 (USD) crossgrade price for a full license of LightWave 2015 software to current owners of all other 2D and 3D software programs. That’s a hefty saving of $300 over the current $995 (USD) retail price of LightWave. Crossgrade pricing is available to all artists using other 2D and 3D software programs such as Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max and Softimage, Houdini, Cinema 4D, Modo, Unity, Zbrush, Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Flash, and more.
Image Falloff feature
Some of the many new features of LightWave 2015 include:
• Bullet Constraints: Take control of dynamic simulations with new constraint types such as Point-to-Point, Hinge, Slider, Cone Twist, Spring and six degrees of freedom (DOF) constraint types.
• Importance Sampling: Greatly improve the quality of scenes lit by GI and HDR images or background lighting.
• Match Perspective Tool: Whether matching plates or simply placing objects in photographs, the new Match Perspective tool can quickly sync the LightWave camera to an original photo or plate.
• Genoma 2 Character Rigging System: A rapid modular rigging system, which at the base level is a complete rigging development kit (RDK), can be used to quickly rig characters for animation without the need to set up complex rigs from scratch. It also supports the use of Math Expressions and Scripts and includes new and improved human, feline, and arthropod preset rigs.
• Edge Rendering: Intersection Edges can now be drawn where geometry intersects on the same object and/or separate objects, allowing for more creative control over cel rendering. Use Patch Border Rendering to make Sub-Division patch borders visible in the renderer with the click of a button. It is perfect for modelers who want to showcase their mesh topology combined with the full render. Edge Buffer can be used to render all edges into their own buffer, allowing for post-process manipulation in compositing software.
• 64-Bit QuickTime Support: Loading and saving Quicktime movies is now possible to those using 64 bit versions of LightWave for Windows.
New Match Perspective tool
The $695 crossgrade offer is set to end February 20, 2015. Details of the offer are available at www.lightwave3d.com/crossgrade_promo. Crossgrade pricing, however, varies in Japan. For more details, contact Dstorm at www.dstorm.co.jp.
Artists are invited to test drive the software by downloading a full-feature 30-day trial version of LightWave 2015 at www.lightwave3d.com/try_lightwave.
