My latest welding scene. All modeling, animation, texture, particles, and lighting were done in LightWave. I had a little fun with this by adding a recognizable sci-fi texture.]]> Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:09:52 +0000 http://lman1138.cgsociety.org/gallery/584037

This is a still from an animation about the closing of a lab facility in New Mexico. This is my first project using Vue.]]> Mon, 14 Jan 2008 18:55:10 +0000 http://lman1138.cgsociety.org/gallery/375456

This animation is a collaborative effort. I did much of the lighting, texturing, scene layouts, and camera animation using LightWave. I also did motion graphics and compositing in After Effects. Most of the models were provided to us so there was a lot of 3D translation and cleanup.]]> Thu, 29 Jun 2006 08:09:01 +0000 http://lman1138.cgsociety.org/gallery/374173

Remember "Galloping Gertie", the Tacoma bridge that collapsed? This is a model of a section of the new bridge. This image was part of a series of before and after images.]]> Mon, 26 Jun 2006 02:25:20 +0000 http://lman1138.cgsociety.org/gallery/374175

This still is from an animation of a smoke plume changing colors based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data. The trickiest part of this project was to import the CFD data into LightWave. The original vision was to use volumetric smoke and color the particles based on their concentration values. Unfortunately we couldn't find a way to efficiently import that color data into LightWave so it was decided to use the geometry of the smoke plume and animate the colors.]]> Mon, 26 Jun 2006 02:31:28 +0000
