portfolio relaunched

I've spent the last weeks working on my portfolio and my website. I was tired of not being able to show my work on mobiles (thanks for not working together, apple and adobe. well done.), not being able to quickly upload and present fresh content, not being - well, let's just say I was tired of it and so it had to go.

The new website is still far from finished, but it is online. check it out under

...piep...

long time no blog, so here's a quick update:

started working, having a wonderful and busy time right now, looking forward to the near and far future.

In between I had a little time to work on my baby as well, but it's still far from finished.

Rollin'

The MS Constantin

Seeing that my nephew is turning one tomorrow, I have spent the last ten days or so modeling and mapping this little garden scene. There has always been something about water in our family (my dad used to be a sailor, all of his sons were very competitive swimmers and so on and so forth), so I figured why not make him a nice toy boat for the pool. Of course I couldn't resist pushing it further a notch, so it kind of grew while it was being made.

I hope you like it! Criticism and commentary are always welcome.

Ju-87 almost done

Been working on this model for seven days now. This Junkers Ju-87 B2 consists of a good 12.000 polygons, a couple of 4096 bump and diffuse maps and is "fully functional", the propeller can turn, the pitch elevator and the side rudders work, The wheels turn and the cabin doors slide open on their tracks. I left out some decals for obvious reasons (speaking of political correctness, plus this is really more about the model than about what the real plane was about). I will still have to work on the rear machine gun and its cover as well as on some nice details (like an antenna and a secondary diffuse).

But for now I am calling it a day while outside the world is turning white and christmassy :)

Have a good one, everyone!

gettin my sh*t together

I've been busy with the Unwrap UVW Modifier these last couple of days. Here's a look at what I've got so far (bump and reflection map only):



I am still working on the actual texture as well as a lot of details. More coming soon!

Lots to do!

Alrighty now, I am working on a Music Video for Da Impact, a couple of flashmovies for the Artez and some little semi-private projects.

Today I have done a preview for the music clip (the first 30 seconds plus a scenario) and I prepared quite some files for the Artez-clips.



More coming up soon.

the beat goes on...

Yesterday I have attended the Picnic 2009 in Amsterdam, and I was pretty much blown away by the people, the many cool installations and attractions, the tasty food and the incredibly overprized drinks.
Anyway, I am going to go there again (hopefully) to see what's hot (sorry paris) and what's not.

Right now I am working on my homepage again, trying to fill the paperwork section with some stuff.

portfolio website relaunched

I've been working on that portfolio book for so long now, I was really happy to do something different for a change.

Like working on my portfolio website, for instance.



Well anyway, I tried to pull a couple of tricks and I think it worked out pretty well. criticism is always welcome, so go - check it out! and if you feel like it let me know what you think :)

Still working on that portfolio - right now I am going through about 3 pages of layout, text and freshly rendered pictures a day.

I am re-rendering material for a portfolio. Yet to come: Authoring a Demo-DVD. So much stuff to do, and again - time is pressing.



Haircut. Photographs. Layout and Material. Presentation. It's like werkschouw all over again :)
