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 SWARM

This was probably one of the larger projects our studio has taken on to date - with a fully CG cityscape sequence filled with alien swarms, explosions, crashing helicopters and collapsing buildings.
Shadows from the 'swarm' had to be added to many live action shots also, making this a huge amount of work for us to achieve in a few weeks.

The spot premiered on UK channel 4 on Sunday the 18th March.

This was an opportunity to create some nice paper shaders/materials and 3D artist Tim Woods created a great rig that controlled the 500+ paper pieces that needed to gracefully open.
