Blog - VITRIOL 3D

Last blog of January

29/1/2011

Yes, I haven't posted for quite some time now but here is a last little update for this month. I haven't done much, had a little inspirational blackout accompanied by an annoying headache.
I'm working on a new project though, a bit larger than my usual models and much more work. I won't reveal anything yet, let's just see how the project goes first.

Here is a little beginning though that shows you the style of this project:

Shipwreck contest

18/1/2011

I'm building a ship at the moment for the monthly modeling contest on the United 3d artists forum. The theme is "shipwreck". As you can see it is still unaware of it's impending doom. Will it be a cliff or a giant whale? who knows, I have to think of that when the time is right.

Ship

Today, finally after a long time waiting for trueSpace to work and after countless of "system out of memory" error messages I can finally present my ship.
I called her Gaia's Dream, she is no particular type of ship, just my own design.

I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to make the shipwreck scene since my computer can hardly even render this image.

LEGO Egypt Set

17/1/2011

One of my oldest sets, I still have it and modeled it for fun.

Cylon Centurion Finished

14/1/2011

Cylons are evil, muahahahaha

Yey, finally Kerkythea finished rendering my Cylon centurion. I still need to figure this new program out a bit but this render with ambient occlusion enabled looks pretty good.

Batmobile animation

12/1/2011

Ok, finally after many hours of rendering, here is little animation I made. It shows the batmobile I created yesterday in all it's glory.

Don't forget to watch the end, I added a little extra.

"To the Batmobile Robin!"

11/1/2011

Holy polygons, that was fun. Making something from a time when 3d effects hardly existed and the special effects all had to be created for real is a true joy. It really makes you feel like you're getting somewhere.

I am still working on a better render. I'm testing Kerkythea 2008 now, it is an external renderer, this kinda makes it more difficult to make a quick render since I need to export my models and trueSpace isn't exactly the model export-friendly program...

Tudududududu BATMAN!

11/1/2011

Yes! It is the the batmobile from the old 1966 series.

Still a work in progress piece.

A strange creation...

10/1/2011

I was bored so I started doodling in my 3d program, this is what I came up with, what is it? I don't really know myself...
