One of the best things I enjoy as a 3D artist is the time I take to explore new software and create my own ideas, not the usual graphics requested by a client with their own ideas and restrictions. This amusement park scene is one of those examples where I was exploring some of the [...]
This tutorials shows how to use a number of simple building mesh objects in modo 401 and use replicators to distribute them into a large city scene with many buildings for variety. This technique works great for backgrounds and city environments for various types of animations and is all available for free using online buildings [...]
This tutorials shows some steps to convert a model from the online Google 3D warehouse into a simple single mesh single texture object. This can be very useful for creating filler content that is not the center of attention but easily good enough for stand in content and backgrounds to 3D scenes. I’ll be taking [...]
A large scale plastics resin processing system was animated to show a completed installation with 3D animation used to highlight specific components and processes within the equipment. This project started with models from the client supplied from solidworks and they were then imported into modo. As with any model import, there is much model cleanup [...]
A tutorial showing the steps to produce a standard wooden canoe.
Visualizations provided for demonstrating underground operation and theory behind cavity pumps for oil and gas
Visualization, simulation and prototypes are frequently needed in 3D to demonstrate what cannot otherwise be done yet or cost effectively.
Single objects, products, prototypes, designs and samples are often needed in 3D.
Logos are always popular in 3D, especially animated with effects to help draw the attention of the viewer!
Characters are important to telling any story and viewers relate to nearly anything that “comes to life” as a character in animation.
