League of Gods || Feng Shen Bang

Houdini FX TD

Elmts buildup of some of the elements I did for an rnd test at the very beginning of the project … (h264 crushed the blacks and colors a bit as usual):

 

I’ve always been a huuuuge fan of Asian martial arts movies.
So of course I was more than stoked to get the call to work on a quick stint for Jet Li’s upcoming movie Feng Shen Bang or League of Gods as it will be called in the “Western” world.

No idea what they ended up doing with the grading of the trailer … Anyway, I got to do all the CG fires and smoke sims (and renders) as well as all the embers

Houdini Procedural Rock Generator

Houdini TD

Started to venture into procedural modelling for games and created a procedural rock generator in Houdini.  Buncha layered noises and stuff.  Unfortunately I never got to finish this one as I got sick and needed to start working on another commercial project right after that damn flu finally let go of me.  Heapsa fun and wanna digg deeper into this (and have a look at proper uv-ing) when I get the time …

4.24 BILLION Particles – H15 Pops Test

So, I thought I’d be putting H15 through it’s passes a little too look at performance improvements … In my experience, reusing “old” workflows – that have proven to be able to create great results many times over – often yields fun surprises, so I went back to the old POP-Solver (NonDOPs) and had a play.

WOW!!!!  I stopped at 4.24BILLION particles taking around 5gb RAM!!! Coulda done a multitude of that on my laptop easily) Nice one SideFX! Read more →

Later on we added some firework fx with all the volumetric lighting, smoke and stuff in Houdini.

Green Lantern – Quick Terragen Environment Test

Terragen 2 test creation of flythrough Death Valley NOT USED in MOVIE

During my time on Green Lantern we contemplated creating the backdrops of Death Valley in 3D instead of matt paintings for the dog fight scenes.  I suggested NASA DEM’s and Terragen as a fast way and was asked to do a quick proof of concept – including showing volumetrics in TG2.  I ended up spending one evening after work on this (as one can tell ;P).  We were all pretty happy with it, but rendertimes, the lack of a linux version and our linux based farm meant the end of it in the end.  Hope Planetside eventually releases Linux versions of TG.  It’s a GREAT package and I would love to be able to use it more at work.

Distant Peaks

Sam and I did a bunch of shots for what was meant to be a NationalGeographics Docu about the last leg of a bunch of expeditions to complete the 7 summits (reaching the highest point of each continent).  This last peak is situated in Antarctica in the Elseworth Mountain range and areal footage is hard to come by or very very expensive.  We ended up using NASA data to recreate a physically accurate representation of the area (down to a detail of 1m), chucked some ice and snow on there and created several shots flying a camera through the terrain to show the travel route of the expedition.  Unfortunately upon completio NatGeo decided Antarctica expeditions were too cool now and went on producing vulcano docus instead … Still … learned a lot and had a good time.

Before New Zealand’s national rugby team the mighty All Blacks headed to Paris for the 2007 Rugby World Cup, major sponsor Adidas threw a show including a life gig of OpShop (New Zealand Music Award Winners). Gear for the world cup in France was given away including two custom Adidas-AllBlacks guitars manufactured by Fender.
To promote both the All Blacks and Adidas we produced a video of said event to be shown in Adidas stores across the contry. My job was to take the raw footage, convert it, create a story out of it and cut it all together timed by the life performed song of OpShop.  After that (being new to the country myself) I finally knew who they were.  Good luck boys!!!

Daniel Völker Photography

Art Director

Daniel Völker Photography wanted a web presentation to showcase his work.  The brief was to have his work sit in a subtle 3 dimensional space where that didn’t overpower teh main content – his work.   Also possibly disabling viewers to download his art without prior consense was a priority.  The solution was a flash based template with mouse as well as keboard navigation.  A glass frame with a lense reflection was to hover in a darkroom (referencing photography) that would spin to reveal each new art work.  To emphasize on the actual artwork said space was to be minimal in color to contrast the colorfull atwork.  Press play above for a preview.
