CG Movies and Video Tutorials.

I have replaced the DivX formated movies that were previously on this page with the more common Flash Video format (what YouTube uses). The superior audio and video quality DivX movies are still available on a seperate page. If you have the DivX Web Player feel free to view them here.

Making Anaglyph 3d Images

Tutorial on making 3d images with free software and free 3d models from Daz 3d and Gimp.org.

Below are some samples of 3d anaglyphs I made including the one from the tutorial. Note: The helmet was rendered in Carrara which is not free.

The Trouble with Trebuchets video

"My woes trying to launch virtual rocks."

I put this movie together to document my failures and have a smile.I was having so many problems trying to get the physics on the trebuchet sling correct I just had to laugh.

Works In Progress Movie

This is a short video I put together from various clips of projects I am working on. As this is just a hobby of mine non of these are for any particular purpose other than creative fulfillment. Most of them were just fun little challenges I came up with to help me learn to use the software. For example, I came up with the flashlight clip to help me learn lighting effects and physics. Making the robot clip taught me a little about animated shaders, glow and indirect illumination through transparencies.

It is nothing too special but I hope you like it. I messed up and forgot to attribute a few people on the credits. It took 20 hours to render the credit sequence so I may be a little while before I get a chance to re-render it. Until then... Thanks to Stimuli for the bouncy woman motion file and PhilC Designs for the trench coat model.

Like the Music?

The music of The Trouble with Trebuchets is complements of Kevin MacLeod who is most generous to offer oodles of royalty free music to the public.
