Here are a couple motion tests I did a while back using Maxon Cinema 4D. I’ve been using C4D whenever I need to dive into building anything that requires 3D rendering or animation. I love the program and it’s been fairly easy to pick up due to the fantastic GUI. The star of the show has got to be the stacking layer system, allowing users to easily add modifiers, shaders, properties, etc to objects and keep track of them through the intuitive tree view.
My wife and I decided we were going to check out the Harry Potter series (finally). We’ve just watching the first one and we’re planning to check out a couple more this weekend. But the reason we really started to get interested in it was because of the way the new Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince looks. It looks like a lot of fun and the series seems to have really matured into something very cool.
I was also inspired to create an updated image of the Rival Schools mascot, Count Leo. He really just started off as simple vector illustration, but I had envisioned a more realistic representation. I’m planning to create a whole roster of humanoid-animals with snooty dispositions. Download the wallpaper and iPhone poster here
Nice Type is a collection of videos on vimeo that was created by Matthew Buchanan. Great set of animations that range from title animations to student work.
That kid is of course, IE6. The extremely talented John Martz was asked to create this illustration that would show up for people using the annoying browser to access momentile.com. This really made my day and now I share my happiness with you all.

Currently at the Vancity Theatre enjoying the intro part of the presentation. It’s the presentation for Watchmen Revealed brought by Siggraph. The just mentioned the OperaBot contest and how to enter. Great place to promote a contest geared towards animators of all types. Can’t wait for the panel to start!
