4.24 BILLION Particles – H15 Pops Test

In 3D,Art Direction,Houdini,VFX / 27. November 2015

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!

Art Director | Photographer

The tax agent office “Steuerberater-Untermain” needed a couple portraits of their team to showcase on their new webpage. A quick trip to the office with a couple builder spotlights was the most convenient and budget friendly option for the client. No studio portraits but decent results for what we had. Great experience and good fun shooting.

Also on board: one of my two most favorite Bondi local bands – KINGTIDE.

So when they were asking if I could take some shots of the night I thought “Sure – always up for some voluntary work – especially for a good cause” … and “surfing” is one of ’em :P.

Awesome gig and a great crowd.

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!!!

In 2D,3D,Art Direction,Design,Web 2D,3D,Art Direction,Design,Web / 2. November 2006

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.
