Kosher Restaurant

2012-01-06T00:27:00.003-02:00

Here are some images I made for an Architectural project of a Kosher Restaurant in the end of 2010.I made the entire image (model, tender, composition, textures etc). That was my very first attempt of rendering with a total new render software. I was producing a video for studying, but never finished it. Maybe one day... hehehe

Hugs!

This is the Google's Street View where it is now under construction:

Gaibin Jet Realtime

2011-06-05T23:24:00.000-03:00

Hello guys!
I modeled this Gaibin Jet for Jaspion 3D Project, that was in stand by for a while... But this is for gaming or something.
I used gaming 3D modeling techniques and standard shading only for viewport 2.0 in Maya. I'm testing now the CGFX and HLSL shaders for Direct3D and OpenGL, but it's hard to find the shaders files (I'm not a programmer).
Hope you enjoy.

Second job I've worked with Lobo. This was in 2005 (got out before Dupont).
I modeled some of the animals (kind don't remember which). And it's so old now that I can't even restore the files to show the Breakdowns hehe...

TV spot for the SOS Mata Atlantica Foundation, a Brazilian NGO working for the protection of the Atlantic Forest, one of the richest and most endangered sets of ecosystems in South America. The organization was then campaigning for a speedy approval of the Atlantic Forest Protection Bill, which was at risk of being filed away.

Works for Vetor Zero - Lobo

Hello guys and girls.
I'm gonna be posting authorized videos for now on from Vetor Zero/ Lobo I've worked in. The videos are from they're own channel on Vimeo and Youtube.
Hope you enjoy.

Cartoon Network: Reface 2010 Latin America

2010-10-29T20:04:00.000-02:00

Hello! Third post of the day... Yeah, I'm inspired today!
Well, I've decided to make this third post when I visited Lobo's website moments ago.

I've done the modeling of a lot of props, hairs, ears etc for this job. So, here is the both videos from Lobo's Vimeo channel, the synopsis and credits.

Between March and August 2010 Vetor/Lobo produced around 580 short films for Cartoon Network, to be aired throughout all of Latin America. This job was an extension of the process started the previous year by the North American branch, who carried out an extensive on-air rebrand based on a concept that employed as a central motif toy art-like dolls called Noods, plain white figurines that can adopt the colors and personalities of various characters from Cartoon Network’s roster. Since the use of this doll design was restricted to the USA, Cartoon Network created a new model to be used in the Latin American package, following the same toy art spirit. Like the original Nood, this figure should also be capable of incorporating numerous network characters. Once we defined the doll’s design, we had to submit to the client an example of how every character starring the spots would adapt to its shape. Only then we started producing all the material, including bumpers, IDs, promos, menus etc. In some of the cases we just had to adapt pre-existing spots, recreating them with the new model. In other cases we received a script, from which we developed storyboards, animatics and then the final animations. Finally, part of the scripts were created by ourselves. All the spots have in common the fact that they show quick comical situations, acted out without dialogue or text in no more than 5 seconds, which presented us with exciting storytelling challenges.

Daileon Turnaround

2009-12-16T20:28:00.000-02:00

Hey Fellas!

This is the render test of Sentou Kyojin Daileon, for the Jaspion 3D project.

I've been doing this model for a wile, and now it's finished. It wasn't easy cause I wanted to do something really different.

The thing is: I wanted the robot turned into Battleship, like a Transformer. Well, in the 80's Juspion series, there was the plastic model (that was a Battleship that turn into a robot) and the actor who done the action scenes. They were, of course, REALLY different cause, to turn into the Battleship, the robot needed to have the body proportions very different from the human beings. But the actor was human, and so in the action scenes, the robot looked to have a human proportion body. So I tried to find a in-between sense about it, that looked like a human, but also could turn into a Battleship. The result is this model:

People say to me "Well, isn't this Daileon a little bit TOO MUCH dusty and rusty?". Yes, he is, cause passed more than 20 years since his last battle against Satan Gorth. And that's what the story is all about.

Stay tooned ;)

Yes, it's compressed a lot, but I would have a lot of problems to post the 300 dpi image here.... hehe....

Hey!

2009-03-13T20:22:00.000-03:00

Hey guys!
Want a good new? I got one: I've lost my Hard Drive containing 4 years of working! Isn't it lovely?
I'd saved some stuff a little ago, but not all the stuff.. how dumb I am. PWND.
I'm searching for some stuff here... soon I'll post something.
Bye.

UPDATE October 10, 2010
I've just restaured the HD...
Oh my god, so many memories!!!
=D

Lego - Go Miniman, Go!

2008-10-08T13:14:00.000-03:00

Well, this one was a hard work. Believe me.
(See more in http://gominimango.com/)
We spent 3 months on this movie, but was fun as play Lego.
I made it for Lobo, associate company with Vetor Zero.

I'd modeled 70% of the Lego bricks and pieces, and all of them had low, mid and high versions. I'd made the Death Star II (thanx to Vz programmers who helped me build this). All the Star Wars models made for this movie was approved by Mr. George Lucas himself, and I've been really happy he'd saw something I've made HAH!

Lego Death Star II

Here it is... We decided to make this very different from the original Lego Death Star II from "The Return Of The Jedi" collection. We thought our version would be prettier.

The “Go Miniman Go” spot was created by agency Pereira & O’Dell in 2008, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the famous minifigure that goes together with LEGO building blocks since 1978.

The script stitches together a series of cultural and historical references from the past three decades, like the movies “Star Wars” and “Saturday Night Fever”, the emergence of hip-hop culture and the fall of the Berlin wall, portraying them with LEGO blocks and minifigures.

Despite the ambitious concept, our intention was to create an exciting and fun spot, one that didn’t feel like a history lesson but rather like a child’s imagination at work, flowing freely from one playing scenario to the next. That’s why, when designing the storyboards, we dedicated special attention to the transitions between scenes, to ensure that the film flowed in a natural, intuitive and also surprising way.

The entire animation was produced in 3D, but we wanted it to feel like a real stop-motion short, made with actual LEGO pieces. What helps convey this feeling is that when it came to animate the Miniman figures we respected their “natural” motion constraints, that is, they never twist or bend more than a real Miniman could. Of course, those self-imposed rules didn’t mean we couldn’t make use of all the possibilities allowed by CGI when it came to animating dazzling camera moves, creating expressive lighting effects, and producing a special stereoscopic version of the spot.

Beginning

2008-10-07T10:48:00.000-03:00

Hello boys and girls!
Well, everybody has a blog. So I decided to start one.
Don't take this too serious ("Why so serious?")
Here you're gonna find some sketches, 3D works I've done and a lot of other artistical stuff.

To start this, I decided do post a work I've done together with Alex Liki, fellow mate form Vetor Zero for all these years.
This art is called "The Hell Grannie From The Bakery". Based on a TRUE story, I've done a very simple pencil made sketch from her. Here it is:

Liki has done some proportions corrections, painted a temporary version with Artrage, and made a texture look in Photoshop, like an textured lamp. I thought it awesome! Never thought that a very simply sketch like this could turn into something like that!:

Well, his final work inspired me to work on something I'd never done before: Painting. I just started painting that... with no references, to see where I could reach. And, there she is:

I let it little "redy" to get the look of those pictures from the 70's. I know... I have A LOT to learn to get better with it, but that's all for now. Please, comment on this. Some feedback would be VERY lovely.
Special thanx to Moises Braga from UbiSoft Brazil for teaching me a lot of painting and Photoshop tricks!

Yeah, made with Photoshop.
