Soon.


I spend the better part of my afternoon watching 3DsMax fail to render my logo animation. Actually one third of a frame of it. It's 180 frames long and the school actually closes in 3.75 hours, so I've decided it's no longer worth my wait just to have to quit then anyways. But, in the mean time, here is the jpeg of the final frame. It seems just a little cooler now than my previous posts.

Crane 3D

No, it isn't the latest blockbuster, but it is a movie...

Recoloured

I made the logo colour a little more true, but still kept some artistic liberty due to the materials I chose. I also gave the source image.




A Return To My Nerdedness

Yes, I did say nerdedness, rather than the more cliché nerdiness. And this won't be the last time.




When asked to recreate any logo of our chosing in 3Ds Max, I wanted to recreate something with a lot more detail than say, the FedEx logo (clever as it is with its arrow in the negative space). Simple logo design didn't seem to hold the portfolio appeal as doing one that was a little more complicated. Any difficulties I ran into only furthered my knowledge of the software.



Not one for selecting some random logo that I have no care for, I turned to my interests. I was going to do the album cover of the A Perfect Circle Album, "Mer De Noms." The reason I did not was because really, the logo itself was simple, and I could not find the true font (despite use of Identifont and What The Font). Tracing the letters proved to be conducive of error due to the poor resolution of the image.



So, without further wear on this keyboard, I give you the 3D rendering of the logo for The Romulan Empire (as seen in the ST:TNG era).

Nothing too over the top, just the results of a lesson. I will be creating a logo of my choice as an assignment in the comming week.

First 3D Studio Max Image

So this marks my first entry for third semester in Digital Media Arts. In my first Intro to 3D class, I created this snowman. I'm very much not forgetting to be politically correct; obviously, he's a snow-person. This individual happens to be male. His mother was a snwoman.

Infinitesima

There's a chance you came to this blog through infinitesima anyways, but incase you were just following along with the journal here (I hate the word blog), my portfolio site is up. I'll be perfecting the flash intro soon, as it doesn't align perfectly, but until then, it still works. See my site at:

Infinitesima (in-fin-it-ES-im-a) is derived from the word infinitesimal, meaning infinitely small.
I first pondered the concept of an infinitely small positive number back in highschool when a math teacher brought up the idea of moving half way to something, then half way again, and so on...
