11/20/04 - Paino Playing I added to the piano and have it playing some music. Well, it might not be music. I don't play so I am not sure what keys to put down but who cares since it is a silent picture. 11/20/04 - Paino Keys I had an idea for a new project. As part of it I needed a piano keyboard. I may end up making the entire piano but for now I am only making as much as I need. In theory, this coule be animated and attached to some music to appear to play. 11/20/04 - Grid Bugs Inspired by the movie TRON this image of the grid bugs martching didn't take much time at all. After learning some very cool tricks making the "Escape The Grid" picture below, this one came much faster and easier. Figuring out the scale was tricky. I had to check out the movie a couple times to get the bugs close to the right size. They still need a little work because I want to animate them but they are mostly finished. 11/20/04 - Escape The Grid Inspired by the movie TRON this image of a lightcycle being chased by a couple of recognizers from the Space Parinoids game. I created most of what you see in this image but the lightcycle was designed by my good friend Dave Billingsley. 08/20/04 - Robo Hand What does every good robot need? Hands of course. This is one hand of my new robot creation. Slowly I will be building one section of the robot at a time. You should get some cool previews along the way. I actually have 2 animations using the hand. One created on the 18th and I had to make the pistons longer to give the hand better range of motion. On the 20th I connected the hand to an arm using pistons as the wrist to give flexibility. Finally, I added an arm to the hand and made it play ball.

This is one of my first successful animation tests for the main joints that could become the robot. The lurning process is killing me! View the 1.0m animation 06/13/04 - Rubik's Cubes To go along with the previous Snake toy image, I created some Rubik's Cubes and put them on the floor in various positions. Just a nice reminder of my childhood toys. 06/10/04 - Snake Inspired by puzzle toy Rubik's Snake, this image is the first version. It is the form it comes in when you buy one in the box. Just for fun I also created a simple animation to go with this single frame version. View the 2.2m animation 03/27/04 - ABC Blocks WOW! It is amazing what the proper lighting can do. I spent a lot of time getting the wood grain just right and adjusting the lighting effects on this image of a set of A-B-C Blocks scattered on the floor. Be sure to take note of the soft edges on the shadows and the way the light fills the scene compaired to some of the earlier pictures. These effects cause the picture to take much longer to draw but the result is well worth the wait. Can you find the word spelled out in the image? 03/20/04 - Prism I was performing some experiments with light and glass serfaces and I came up with a nice looking prism. I had a little help from a web page that explaind the math and science behind prisms and how they rafract light. View the 429.7k animation 03/13/04 - Marbles On The Floor I have been playing with glass and lighting. I have also been playing with textures. While looking at some marbles I got inspired and I came up with this image. There are fifty cats eye marbles sitting on the floor with some very soft lights shining down on them. 03/01/04 - After The Party This is little more than an experiment with glass objects. Ok, drinking glasses actually. The glasses are very simple in shape but the texture of the glass is the important part. The bending of the light through the glasses seems very realistic to me. The cabinet in the image is just for filler and not all that real looking in my opinion. Good looking glass is prety hard to come up with and can take a long time to render. I have caustics turned on in this image but not radiosity because it would take many hours for the image to draw. 02/22/04 - Stone Orca Now this is what I would call my first real work of art using the LightWave. I spent almost 2 weeks putting time into this project. The hardest part was the stone orca which I thought would be simple. All the curves took a lot of fine touching to get just right. The clock in the image was the next hardest part. You really can't see all the detail that I put in to the clock in this image. The videos were the simpelest part. This reflects the stand full of videos that sits in my living room. 02/16/04 - Scrubbing Bubbles A must create image bring my old scrubbing bubbles to life using the new design tool Lightwave. If you compaire these guys to my older work you will see they are not the same old object. These guys have depth for their brushes and their eyes. They have no eyebrows because I thought they looked out of place. The tile is very simplistic as this was just a warm up excersize for me to get back in the swing of things. I spent about 8 hours creating this image. 02/15/04 - Tires Tutorial A pair of tires on a simple background. This tutorial gave me the basics of modeling and scene lighting for a single tire. It took me about 5 hours to complete the image. The image wasn't very interesting so I threw a second copy of the tire in. All in all it was a great tutorial and I learned a lot.
