A rag-bag collection of my latest works; all shiny and fresh for 2010!

I was inspired by this multi-physics simulation and started playing around with some physics again. Wish I had more time to spend on stuff like this. Added bullet-time for Matrix-style skill levels, with the usual dodgy texturing and masking.

I found a really interesting tutorial by Jonas Ussing Jonas employs a nifty technique here to achieve realistic light scattering (which you can read about on the link). In his words “…the photorealistic look of a cloud is dependant on decaying, non-polygon lighting”. I’ve half a mind to either a) recreate The Simpsons intro in [...]

This is an incarnation of my flash-based portfolio before I moved on to the wonders of WordPress. Driven dynamically by XML.

There’s a new company about to be launched and I have designed the brand from scratch. Can’t say too much, but here’s a taster… You can read more about this new endeavor here http://www.watchusgettingreal.com. Mark has also just added a quick interview I did with him about the process. Bit embarassing . . . “y’know, [...]

I found some pre-made motion capture files and created this character to go with it.  Bit rough and ready as always, but I can see definite progress with this technique.

I hand-keyed the biped and added a Reactor simulation to the bricks

Redhouselane Communications asked me to produce a dynamic flash application which shows the breadth of telent’s services. This is totally driven by XML – not bad for a first effort, but far too nerdy for my liking.

Made in conjunction with Tim Basnett and RBDisplays, this flash microsite allowed customers who missed the European Conference (thanks Mr Icelandic volcano…) to catch up on the presentations. Introduced by Lord Winston, the presentation contains a keynote speech, as well as links to PDFs and other assets. I art-directed, built the  3D environments and comped [...]

Created with Redhouse Lane Communications, these 3D animations formed the core of five case studies for the Carbon Trust.
