    Aston Martin One 77

    Friday, April 8, 2011

    So it is finally time for a new post. Lately I have been that swamped with work I have not had the time to think about updating. Luckily, I managed to find some time. I was a little sick of scripting so I dug up One 77 model that I finished last year but have [...]

    Skylines!

    Monday, June 28, 2010

    A concept rendering completed sometime ago while working at Ivolve Studios. We were trying to capture the modified car culture here in Australia, what better way than to use two R34 Skylines. The Orange car is actually being built. As usual I would love to here your thoughts. Cheers, Dave

    Ferrari F430

    Monday, June 28, 2010

    A recent render I did of Ferrari F430. I am continuing to explore studio light setups in this case I was interested in seeing what is possible with the least amount of lighting. I believe the simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. While I am not sure I achieved the ultimate sophistication I am however generally happy with [...]

    GML Importer

    Thursday, April 29, 2010

    We were very inspired by what we saw over at http://graffitianalysis.com/ so we decided to write a GML importer for 3ds max. We where pretty happy with the very quick tests we have done. The tool is almost finished at which point we will release it. We are always in support of open formats and GML [...]

    Incursion

    Tuesday, April 27, 2010

    Incursion was a cinematic style animation created at Ivolve Studios.  The image above is the final grade and look. The image below was the initial grade and look that we went with, after while I felt as though it needed more atmosphere so I added the rain and did the regrade in fusion. All of the buildings [...]

Sky, Skies and some Skies

Posted by · 7 Comments

As a 3d artists you can never have to many backgrounds or sky plates in your arsenal. Especially for those working in architectural visualisation, there are only some stills you can pump out before your skies start looking a bit the same… I was recently on vacation and every now and then I decided to shoot some skies when they [...]

Infocenter WHAT??

Posted by · Leave a Comment

  I hate the infocenter in max. I also hate the big “M” button they added when they removed the file menu (this file menu can at least be easily add back). I can understand Autodesk changing/adding these things as they decrease the learning curve for new users which is great as the more accessible Max is [...]

I was recently asked if I could give out the source code to my Hot Box which I have decided to do. I had planned to develop it a lot further but time got the better of me. Starting a new job and jumping straight back into production meant that I had to abandon it. Truth be told I [...]

As the name implies this is a simple script for selecting objects based on the name of the material assigned to them. I originally wrote the tool to deal with a sketch up file that was exported for 3ds max. When it came in it had thousands of objects each with their own material, this [...]
