About 1 sec per frame

Oh yes it is Freestyle Blender, hear it roar!

New Spider

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 23:07:00 +0000

Well I have been working on some other things not yet posted, but here is an update on the itsy bitsy spider...it is evolving into quite the project, now I am just testing the animation rig! (rig is from waylow on blender artist)

On the farm

Final Submission

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:25:00 +0000

This is my final output style for the Iggy and Joe Project. I will be (re)constructing sets

Updated Cup

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:18:00 +0000

Well it doesn't have a label on it, but it may in the future, I improved the mesh on the lid area and improved the brushed look on the cup body as well as the smoother texture on the lid metal. I also improved the handle mesh a bit.

BLOBS

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:10:00 +0000

Possible blob (codename: filbert) for "the button" coming later after the Iggy and Joe story.

Coffee Cup

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:03:00 +0000

Yes its a cup, I was in class and bored so I made a model of my cup!

Viz Project

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:39:00 +0000

All in blender. The Addition model is not exactly to scale, but gives a nice idea for the concept and look.

Just a thought

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 22:49:00 +0000

This is a thought bubble for the story!

Lighting Challenge

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 23:34:00 +0000

A lighting challenge on CGsociety.

New Technique

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 08:03:00 +0000

The Torus-

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 23:27:00 +0000

I would call this a "doodle" took about 1-2hours to make and 4 to render. Blender 2.49 Blender Internal Raytraced. Also note the transparent shadows on the bottom-i think it adds a nice touch *almost appears to be caustic* not intentional....Maybe someday I will give it a nicer background.

Engine Crash

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 08:53:00 +0000

Todo on this one: fix trees in background colors, texture the dog better, add engine streaks in the ground. texture the ground better. fix overall lighting.

UMMM...Dog??

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 01:17:00 +0000

He kinda looks a bit...um high on meth? I need to work on the eyes and the fur more, but almost there.

Airplane

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 11:02:00 +0000

Well it is not super perfect painting, but it will be viewed from rather a distance.

Trees!

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 19:22:00 +0000

I made some Trees I hope you like.

The Dog

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:37:00 +0000

CaveDog aka Joe? well he seems happy enough.

He can get a bit cross at times, but for good reason.

The CaveMan

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:35:00 +0000

Iggy the caveman, serious as he looks is not the sharpest tool in the shed but he gets the job done I suppose. (It helps that he is the only one on the island that has opposable thumbs)

Working in Progress

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:28:00 +0000

I am now working on an island with a caveman on it. It shall prove to be an interesting story that my Bro-in-laW will concoct. I am doing the illustrations and have been given the privilege of having all artistic freedom therein. SWEET! well it is hard to come up with some of the stuff but the content seems to be flowing well on this one. You may notice some changes throughout, hence work in progress, stuff I may change on a whim.

This is new and strange

noreply@blogger.com (Jikz) — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 22:08:00 +0000

Well I am now blogging. What about? Nothing. Thank you for listening.
