Tokyo office building.

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 20:48:43 +0000

This is an old scene that I wanted to re-work with a different lighting style.

The actual building is in Tokyo, but I don't think it's the Chrysler building. I didn't intend to match the photo reference exactly, in this case.

Modeled in Blender 3D 2.43 and rendered with Maxwell Render v1.1. Final composition and tweaks with Photoshop.

Egyptian Tomb.

Fri, 15 Oct 2004 02:39:23 +0000

Egyptian project. Showcase render for some of the textures available on Total textures v9; Ancient tribes and civilisations, from 3dtotal.com.
My idea was to recreate a scene of an Egyptian tomb just after the tomb robbers have left, with only damaged objects left behind. Lighting is intended to recreate that of a flaming torch.

F1 Concept

Fri, 13 May 2005 00:03:36 +0000

As entered for the Blender 3D F1 design contest. The only design criterea is that the vehicle must have an open cockpit.
Modified from the cockpit and hull of a jet fighter plane, the Sonix Racing F1 2005 is powered by twin Rolls Royce RB-211 jet engines, each producing 40,000LB of thrust. I wanted to try and make the car instantly recognisable as an F1 car, but at the same time blow the power and engine regulations wide open.
Modeled, rendered and composited with Blender 3D, textures made with Photoshop.
