Unorganized Crime online in a few days

Our final year film is going to be online in a couple of days... or should be. Unless someone decides otherwise. Uni is finished now, and i'm ready for the world.. bring it!

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.

E4 - ident "Diamond in the Rough"

This is my E4-ident that i submitted to the competition. I made it in 2 days. The first day i modelled and animated everything, the second day i rendered and composited the piece. The music was a ready track that the competition supplied us with. ENJOY!!! -oh and go VOTE online at

the only props needed. Duplicate and scale..

"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!

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.

Unorganized Crime street-still

This render is made up of 5 different buildings that have been duplicated and modified to look different. with ambient occlusion added and soft shadows instead of harsh ones we got the still to look like we wanted.

Helping hand

For the past 2 years my mom and the her neighbors have been trying to build a shelter for the bins by their building, but the building ministry has not given them permission. I recommended to my mom that i model the bin area in Maya and print out rendered images of how it would look with the added structure they wanted. I made a bunch of stills from which i chose these three to show you, and they took them to the ministry. They got the permission instantly. Small very simple things like this 6 hour project can help out people more than you think.
