modo - gingerbread man wedding invite

DateTuesday, August 24
Did this for a friend, all modo, Imagesynth and SLIK - graphic design in Photoshop.
Icing was a mixture of curves and simple shapes, start to finish in modo maybe 2.5-3 hours.
Easy because of slik, but after working in 64bit Cinema 4d for the past couple of months, modo’s UI and render tools felt like like thick fudge due to 32 bit disparity on the mac.
Still for this kind of quick modelling work modo does rule, especially with the addition of SLIK, and said friend is over t’moon.
So here’s screen grabs of mesh, and slik render.

Tracking experiment - First Syntheyes test

DateFriday, July 9

Tracking experiment - First Syntheyes test from Mike Griggs on Vimeo.

So I have bought syntheyes as its cheap and great and exports to modo nicely.

This is a first test with me just pressing go. All fine until 4 seconds when i thought I would delete a camera key as there was a slight wiggle, and as you can see from then on it was not the best idea. Thankfully about to enroll in syhtheyes class on fxphd to fix my stoopidity, but modo export is lovely:D

All comping done straight in modo,, hence why still really jenky.

Tracking experiment broken but nice

DateTuesday, July 6

This is definItely a happy accident. First Draft render of a little experiment totally broken tracking, but something about the movement really intrigues me. Used the 3d tracker in Nuke X, then used the excellent nuke to modo script from http://www.modo.stenson.tv/ to export the tracking data from nuke into a camera in modo, then a sub d sphere and some really crap HDR lighting in modo, all rendered on the bg plate directly in modo. Scale is all wrong, motion blur is wrong, colours wrong, lighting wrong and the tracking is wrong, but why do i like it….?

F1 Marketing concept pre-SLIK and new look cbloke site

DateWednesday, March 24

This image was created during the early stages of the F1 project. It was to show the client (a graphic design agency) how 3d imagery could be used to enhance the graphics easily and without the need for an expensive physical model and photo shoot. Also it gives me a chance to link to my newly revised design page as well as give you the opportunity to peruse the new spring-cleaned www.creativebloke.com - hope you like it.
