Back in 2004, shortly after establishing imago, I have created a series of 10 promotional wallpapers with cute 3D animals.
It would be the shame to let them disappear from the face of the Internet forever, especially since the readers of Bici Bee may recognize an early prototype of out beloved webcomic character on one of them. Full gallery after the break.
Today Chi needed to use the Wacom tablet, so I wasn’t able to draw the new comic. Never fear, though, Maya comes to the rescue.
Today’s Bi is presented to you in full 3D glory. As a special bonus you can download a massive print-size version here.
This video is a little test I did in Maya back in 2008, experimenting with softbody dynamics, inflation and deflation of nCloth and HDRI.
Another little Maya test run from 2008. This time playing with spline animation, softbody deformers and incandescent lighting. I wanted to see how would a cartoon rendering of main subject look inside a global illumination environment.
These few renders are the result of several hours of messing around with Maya, the first time I got my hands on it. Except for trying out abstract 3D, I wanted to experiment with splitting the object into fragments that move at different speeds and then re-unite.
I reused the split technique later on in imago’s Nonsensuality.
This one is a complete blast from the past.
Sometime around Winter 2004 I got my hands on some matchmoving software and did this little test (shot in my old apartment). The golden something was rendered in Maya (if I recall properly) and the texts on the wall were added in After Effects. The whole thing was shot without any lights on a simple 1CCD Sony camcorder.
Here’s a long-delayed new imago studios reel for 2012. It includes commercial and independent pieces completed both in-house and as a collaboration with various production companies.
AE64 is a tribute to the demoscene and to the legacy of world’s most popular microcomputer: Commodore 64.
While this video was created using the typical contemporary arsenal of tools (mainly After Effects and Cinema 4D), it conforms to most of the basic graphical limitations of the C64 such as a limited 16-color palette, low resolution, use of the overscan area etc. To maintain the spirit of the demo, I also created most of the effects using various scripts and code snippets, procedurally automating many of the tasks typically animated using keyframes.
In this tutorial I will teach you how to create your own UFO troll video using After Effects and Mocha – a process that should take you no longer than 30 minutes from the moment you grab a camera, to the time you are ready for upload.
I am the creative free agent, and I want you to work with me.
In this tutorial I will demonstrate the use of a new free preset from QubaHQ.com – Floaties. Floaties is a text animator based fake particle simulator allowing you to create floating specs of dust, glitters, bokeh-style out of focus abstract backgrounds and other visual elements.
In this tutorial I will show you how to quickly simulate stop motion aesthetic using my After Effects Stop Motion Kit. This collection of presets will allow you to easily add subtle imperfections to the movement of objects in your scene, emulating animator errors that are a staple of stop motion animation. Using 6 different expression sets, you will be able to apply and control glitches in movement, rotation and timing of your objects as well as simulate changes in camera position and exposure.
