Modelling a photoreal car

I modelled this car in a day and played around with the textures the second day. Lots of compositing in After Effects. This was also the first time I ever modelled a car using panels and starting from the wheel arches. It really is so much easier that way, can't believe i havent done that before. Live and learn.

"Layered" - 48 hour Animation competition - WE WON!!!

Me and Dane Winn got qualified into the Stuttgart international animation festival to make a short animated film in 48 hours. The only thing we got ready was the character (modelled, rigged and textured). From the first minute Dane began animating and I started modelling the environment. We came up with the story in the airport on the way to Germany and story boarded it in our hostel. working on it for 48 hours was really challenging though. We had 2 short naps during the whole time, but i guess it was worth it. We won first prize!!! -What a great experience!!! Here's the film, enjoy!

Crazy Horse 48 hour animation jam

Me and my collegue Dane Winn were told about this 48 hour animation jam in Stuttgart in May. Basically, there are 6 teams of two people from around Europe who compete against each other to make an animated short in 48 hours. Me and Dane sent our showreels to Germany and a few days ago found out that we got accepted to the competition!!! WWOOO!!! So we're off to Stuttgart Germany in May and hopefully we win the competition. Even if we don't, it's going to be lots of fun and we got free festival tickets to the Stuttgart animation and film festival. Here's the link to the competition:

Vehicles for animation

These are the vehicles we'll use in our animation. 2 civilian car models which will get different paint jobs and a police vehicle. It took about 5 hours to model each. As you can see, the police vehicle is a modification of one of the cars.
