ICE Ivy Growing Work in Progress

ICE Plant/Ivy Growing Work in Progress from Simon Reeves on Vimeo.

I've just finished up on a nice job at work, in fact a job that was 2 commercials with a 3rd coming up straight away. I had been doing a lot of scripting and ICE which in fact took over from me being able to do much rendering which is probably the first time in a year at the Mill!

I've been working on something started from one of the maaannyy projects I have started or just played with and not finished. I have updated it as it seems I'm a lot more competent in ICE now so I pretty much remade the whole thing.
Some obvious issues with the size's of the strands popping..but this is work in progress so here it is so far!

I don't post much

I don't blog much, I'm sure that is clear. But I do spout a lot in real life. I will try to blog more, but also I am using twitter for much CG/3D related fun.

I'm slowly working on a couple of personal projects and I have a few jobs from catch up on so I will add them soon too.

Rigging stuff

It has been quite a few years since I have done any enveloping, and even then not in XSI - so I’m pleased with the results so far here

PreVis

I can’t be posting the ol’ previs, don’t want to spoil that of course, but here are some stills. The timecodes are added in the editor, and the shot numbers are added in XSI with a wee script I wrote which gets the name of the Sequence/Shot etc. from a custom paramater (that is made/used) [...]

Restaurant Food

Food from Simon Reeves on Vimeo. Heres a shot with a focus pull showing some food in the restaurant scene. For the focus pull, I wanted to test scaling on the defocus (as it looks cool)

Short & Sweet

After a fair few months break, though for us it has been longer than that - Short & Sweet is back on in Cafe 1001 in Shoreditch. We originally found out about it a couple of years ago when Diversion was shown - and we went again last night and will continue to go hopefully (despite [...]

The making of CITIZEN

Making of material and behind the scenes for a project we did at ANALOG earlier this year for CITIZEN.
Co-director Arvid Nikklasson and myself attended the live action shoot in Prague where a beautiful, full size set was built and talent shot at 800fps on the Phantom Flex.
Lots of greenscreen and tracking markers later - we rebuilt and replaced the entire set and blew it all up with RAYFIRE and a whole load of other particle tools.

We recently did a live webinar/talk at Autodesk all about this project and the work we do at the studio which you can also view here:

Citizen - The Decisive Moment

A whole room exploding? Sounds like fun.
The entire set/room was rebuilt from location references and then destroyed with Rayfire and Pflow and a whole load of other tricks and scripts. Fracturing and dynamics were handled almost exclusively with Rayfire - specific fractures created using custom shapes and by hand modelling.
