Rigging.

This will be my first attempt at a fully working rig.

Here's the set-up I'm currently using:



This works pretty well for still-images.


Though for animation it still wont deform properly and weighting this thing is also a major pain in the ass.

I'll keep at it though, have to learn sometime.

My latest 3D nightmare.

I'll admit it, I'm a dinosaur fan so I tried my hand at another dinosaur.

This time its the Velociraptor from Jurassic Park 3.

This is the first time I used the polypaint feature from z-brush and my first attempt pretty much sucked:



Though I'm happy with the model, the colours and displacement are nowhere near where I'd like them to be.

So it was time to grab a lot of reference images and head back to Z-brush.



Now thats better, the colours have alot more depth and the displacement also shows a lot more detail.

Now to try my hand at rigging.

More 2D work.

Here are some backgrounds I made for an animation project.

Some 2D work

Here are two images I made for a school project about stress:





Not much to say about them, I tried for a pretty sketchy style.

More latest work. (W.I.P Dump)

In the last year I've also been working on a lot of personal 3D projects, some got finished, some didnt yet.

Here's a few:

Airwolf.


My favourite helicopter from when I was young, unfortunatly I didnt have the time to finish this but I might return to take another swing at it.

To continue with the aviation theme, here's my shot at moddeling a jet:



Wheels:


And to finish the aviation theme a concept gunship which I'm currently still working on.

Latest work.

Well, its been like a billion years since I last updated my blog but with some new (and some not so new) work to post I thought it was about time I did.

First up, the award winning (I never get tired of typing that) music video for the band "Monstertux" which I directed last year.

The video was produced by Marielle Alferink with camera work by Jaap Elzes, production design by me and Anna Blaauw.

Jaap-Jan Paulusma was in charge of the lighting and together with me edited the video.

And here's the award we recieved.
