A Warm Place

A warm place inside you.
That reminds you that there is a place inside you that nobody can reach, and nobody can take away from you, the peace and calm in your heart that will stay with you forever.

I present some artworks here which i prepared for the video game intro.

I have done the book, the helmet and the candles. Actually i dont like the modeling at all ... some kind of vertex tossing hehe... But the idea of making something ancient, something picturesque was intrigue me. Also I have prepared a wispy smoke. Finally I composed all layers together.

The book
..the keeper of knowledge and wisdom, the favor of people for ages.


looks like up res grid ... well, displacement require it for the good results )))


The candles
I have already presented the candle model in my blog. Well, here is another one ... from another story )))
3D model of candle and fire.





The helmet
The time-worn helmet... The true iron servent of his master in past...



I drew very complex iron rusty texture, also prepared the displacement map...





Another shot from the video..



The Smoke
The last but not least — the smoke, which covered everything in the scene. This is very important part for me so i did many tests until got what I wanted. This is the wispy smoke making by fluids. The calculation of fluids is not so painful as it turned.





Sorry for the law resolutoion and the brutish site compression ... i can do nothing with it.

Your porridge, sir!

Bon appetit!

...i have got used to do video about mobile operators or internet providers, that is why the creation of the video about porridge industry and advantages of the different kind of porridge became very unusual for me. And therefore usefull. )))

The video consist of two parts — the fist is the process of the production of cereals itself. There are a lot of machines, sewage disposal systems and other strange devices in it. So i decided to gloss some frames with stylize pictures drawing by hand.

Despite the simplicity of task i had not one day of working to achieve some results. I had to restore many skills of hand drawing, hehe.

Here are some fragments from the video. I added music track for the viewing process would not becomes so tedious.(song called "Green Hornet" by Al Hirt.....hope the Copyright Act won't affect me )))

First i created the intro for the whole video, where the rural landscape with the mill
is drowing...




The flag in the wind








Hard-core Machine for Grinding Grain )))






Raining Flour
i have tried a few style once I got to draw flour..







Industrial Landscape

The landscape with the industrial construction in the foreground. This is sewage disposal system if my mind does not deceive me. Strange place ... but the representation of our days...






Drawing boxes

And another part is the representation of differert kind of the porridges. The sketch comes alive and turns into the box with porridge.



Here it comes another box ..


Wheat flour is used for the manufacture of bakery products ...
Such an appetizing cake is shown on picture !


Ovsyano flakes drawing box getting alive


I used very simply tehniques to create drawing boxes — pre-animated texture was applyed to 3d box . Than i created an illusion of all drawning by the brush with different colors.
