Testing Realflow 5

real flow with cinema 4D

I’ve worked on realflow a few times before, but I’ve been trying to give it some more time and get around understanding what each tool does. And since scorned will have some liquid based modeling in it, I decided to sit down and give it some more time. The results I got were quite amazing. The new feature of HYBRIDO for large volume liquid particles was one that I loved!

Hopefully, I’ll be able to put some more time in this software and design some pretty cool things with it soon. Until then, here’s a preview of three bowls I made in cinema 4D and used realflow to simulate the liquid and import it into C4D again.

Aperture

After getting the Sony XR 550E handycam, I wanted to experiment a bit and try the macro function it has.
After a few failed attempts, my friend Fadi and I found this insect that looked a bit peculiar and decided to film it.
After color correcting the 15 min footage we decided to speed it up and add a bit of music to it.
The result was “Aperture”.

Hope y’all like it!

Chloe does MJ’s: Thriller routine

Just a short incomplete test render

 

It’s been a while since I posted anything on the blog. Been busy with quite a few things at hand.
Anyway, I’ve been working for a small test animation that should be part of the opening sequence for my Chloe animation. The environment has to still be made and some tweaks here and there on the dance moves but I just thought I’d share what I’ve done so far with the character and the dance routine.

Chloe Bedroom Updates

I decided to change the colors of Chloe’s bedroom. I used Orange, green and red tones to make chole stand out of her surroundings. I thought the pink tones of the other room were too dull and boring and made chole part of the backgrounds.

Hopefully this is the final version of her room, I need to start animating soon!… I need some motivation, been slacking off for a couple of months now.

The reaper body

Been working on the reaper’s body for a while now… To give it an eerie look I thought the body should be skinless with only the muscles and some bones showing through. I then tried to add wings to it, but thought it looks too batman-y.

The creature is not finished though, the spear and the clothes have to still be modeled. Though not much of the body will show through the clothing, here’s a few test renders I made.

Here’s two pictures from the phase one of creating the reaper from a new short I’m currently working on along with the previous animation, that I’m still working on called “Chloe”. Hope you guys like him

These are a few of the new renders I made for Nathalie Haladjian’s senior project. Texturing took some time, but it all looks good. The lighting was a pain in the ass though, took a bit of time to light up each shot with different lighting. It all could’ve looked better maybe but didn’t have much time to work on them… in the end, I think they look nice!

Hope you guys like them…

Architectural renders

Here are some renders I made last night for my cousin Nathalie for her senior project… Now I know they’re exactly perfect but bare with me here… I only had a day to work on them!

Just for fun…

When my friend Doreen Toutikian came for a visit a month ago, we had a little photo shoot and thought we’d play around with the images just for the fun it. I composited the photos with background and elements from Cinema 4D. So here are the pictures… more to come soon!
