Lazy Spider

I promised a work friend I’d do something for his blog, and it’s finally here.

The lazy gamer enjoys chilling with a smoke with his Android tablet and has taken Spiderman as one of his main avatars.  Which of course makes a literal interpretation quite easy.  The only thing I’d change if I had a second run would be rolling up the bottom of the mask.  Thereby making it easier to smoke and also exposing his gotee.

I have also noticed the first thing that draw the attention of men is inherently different from the ladies...

Queen's Park

Queen’s Park

Some clay model type renders.  Hardest part on this run was tweaking the grass (FiberFX), and timing the Depth of Field blur.  Still a lot of work left to do, but I figure a nice milestone render would be nice to share.

Planning to tack on the clouds I've been rendering.  Cool.

Also.  I had no idea you could upload videos directly to Blogger.

Head in Clouds

Animated GIF.  Please be patient =)

Finally, a cloud render I am (somewhat) happy about.  Now, I dont love it. I like it.

After playing with volume and particle clouds with not much success, I went for the stacked planes.  This render is a mash up of iaian’s walkthrough, Denis Pontonnier’s plugins, and Matt Gorner’s lighting.

Next, let loose thousands, indeed TENs of thousand of arrows, to block out the sun.
NVM, there is no sun...

Late welcome

Larry is a resident of New Zealand.
This is sooo old news now, but I’d still like to say something.  As stupid late as it may be...

For those in the Lightwave 3D community, Larry “Splinegod” Shultz is one of the best goto person.  Like ever.  I had the honour of hanging out with him years ago (time flies) and remember what an awesome, funny person he is.  Especially when he’s telling stories.

I think the first one I ever heard was the Temple of Meat, there was a lot of blood and a leather wallet and stitches handWha?  I don’t remember, ask him if you get a chance.  Maybe my mind is blocking something disgusting and creepy.  Was there a goat’s head and 2 spikes?

Regardless, people who’ve heard it all before quietly exit the room when Larry starts up.

Anyways!

The one that made me roll on the floor laughing (literally) was when he was telling us about the time he collected a tarantula the size of your head in a grocery bag and brought it back home to scare his freakishly uptight roommate.  Not only did it freak him to breaking down the front door running outside, he had actually ripped the phone off the wall and took it with him.  Why did he have the phone?  He was using it like a light saber vs the hugh jazz spider.  WTF?

That wasn’t even the best part.  The punchline is got the whole thing on tape and spread it around to EVERYBODY!  Who does that?  Seriously!?  This man has a couple wires in his head wrapped up a little too tight.

Larry, I love you man =D

Breakfast

 

It's dawn.
Nightmare is over,

right?

Water Fell

Old words still follow me (haunting me forever)

When it rains it pours.
Wut... happened?

Break Up

I was thinking,

Even when you’ve been leveled, whats most important is to take what is good, clear the rubble and rebuild.  Rise, phoenix style.

Break down? no
Break up!
