R&D – Making a sphere appears

Simple Rnd test using a Sphere, and PFlow to build up geometry. 3DSMax and MentalRay Render.

Simple way to Make Autofocus on 3DSMax

Soundtrack from Mark Ronson – Circuit Breaker

This video was made to test a way to lock your scene focus to an “focal point”, or object. I don’t find this important, or so usefull, but it’s interesting easy effect to achieve with very simple use of 3DSMax expressions/Script. VERY Simple. Hope you like it.

The video was subtitled in Brazilian Portuguese, but there’s no need to read the subs, put it in fullscreen and watch.

MiniArcade 2nd Teaser

Soundtrack from a Tv Advert from the 80s of ZXSpectrum computer.

Today i’ve just shoot this teaser Ad of my ArcadeMachine. The film Look was developed by me using a bunch of composition and After Effects Techniques.

The idea is to look like a nostalgic 80′s advert. The arcade in the movie was completely assembly/built by me.

This is the second teaser of my MiniArcade Machine called RETROMACHINE. It’s a orginal design of a mini-multi-arcade-machine. Beware : This ad is fully 80′s style.

Mundo Irado – Pernambucanas

My role in this Project started on the pre-production, working with the Director/Agency to help on the development of the characters actions on our “virtual game world”, and converting it on an Storyboard/Animatic.
I acted towards the 3D direction as well at all post production and assembly of the 3D renders (Passes). I’ve worked on the Look and Development phase, and generating elements in the composition to apply the “VIDEOGAME” concept to the entire piece.
Being responsible for the final composition and assembly of the 2D animated part, color treatment, and side effects added to the assembly step, such as smoke, shadows of the characters, floating t-shirt icons,particleFx, and 2D animations of Letering signs within the film.

There’s a “VideoGame” pixelated treatment over the entire image,that makes it cooler than we can see at Vimeo. PLEASE Play it in FULLSCREEN to see that effect.

Digital Embroidery – Particles RnD

This was my latest experience/RnD with 3dsmax PFlow. It’s some kind of “embroidery” using particles and procedural maps. This is a simple concept idea, but i like the results and simple workflow. Very simple to do and effective to be honest.Customizable and flexible.

I’ve just animated a Map (In this case, a Gradient Radial), in Black and White, and the system makes the “lines” germinating on any surface… The animation is triggered by the procedural map luminance and the particle shapes came from an instanced geometry (animated).

I can imagine some nice effects using this technique.

Actually i am wondering to make a bunch of “title animations” using my Kumodot logo apearing with some sort of mixed techniques…

I know…It’s very short, it’s just a proof of concept, i will do some more animations using this. The Vimeo Quality destroyed some details. Fell free to download the mov to see it with much better compression.
