I don't do digital painting that often, but I've been drawing more and I thought it would be fun to take a sketch from my pad and see it through digitally. Photoshop CS4 was terribly slow through about half the process. I couldn't even paint in...
I decided to attend the Montreal International Game Summit and wow what a blast. I didnt meet anyone else from Winnipeg there, but that's OK becuase I meet some really nice people who made me feel at home instantly. There were a lot of nice...
Yeah that's right... I've decided to finally check out VRay and I have to say that so far it's been a lot of fun to work with. I haven't gone through all the settings yet, but I'm trying to get through working on a piece while learning the suite....

I finished the still life from my last post and then went ahead and did some post work in Fusion. All the major elements in the scene were rendered out on separate render layers in Maya. At first render layers seemed like a lot of work, but after...

I'm just about 70% done my apartment render so I thought I would post an update. This is a to scale model of my old apartment. I had some previous renders, but the scale was off (really off) and it was causing all my lightning to be blown out....
Just a quick post here. I took my apartment scene from earlier and rendered it out with a range of light temperatures. The chart below will show you 10 separate renders at varying colour ranges. I just changed the mib_blackbody value in each of the...
So, I've decided to take a better look at using a proper linear workflow within Mental Ray and part of that seems to be learning Global Illumination and Final Gather. These lightning systems have always seemed scary and complicated to me, but after...
