Personal CG project of the memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe at Berlin – the site is covered with 2,711 concrete slabs or “stelae”, one for each page of the Talmud arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field. According to project text, the stelae are designed to produce an uneasy, confusing atmosphere, and the whole sculpture aims to represent a supposedly ordered system that has lost touch with human reason. Some time ago I purchased a license of Itoosoft Forest Pro plugin, here is a result of using it. As it was with the “NYC Taxi” project,…

Personal CG project of the New York taxi. I’ve been always fascinated by NYC, and so, I decided to make a full CG animation shortfilm of it. Done with 3ds Max, V-Ray, Nuke, After Effects, Premiere.
Here is my first car rigging approach, which became more complicated than it was at the beginning when I decided to research this topic.

Turning photo to a 3d animation by using camera mapping technique.
Hi there, this script adds a procedural shake animation layered on position/rotation tracks (needs your standard or VRayCamera to be selected). You can control parameters at Shake Parameters rollout which you’ll find at the end of the camera/point parameters. elfinCameraShake.zip

Some shots from current project. Software used: 3ds Max 2009, V-Ray 1.5 SP2, Nuke, After Effects, Photoshop. As far as our studio has become too small now (3 employees, no animator as before) we have to solve some new tasks. The below shots were fully made by me including modeling, shading, lighting, animation, compositing and montaging. The main aims were the testing of tree animation, also paper and writing pen dynamics, some new ways of compositing, trying to achieve some special mood in the scenes.
