Apocalypto
Sunday, January 21st, 2007Just in from seeing Apocalypto which was a lot better than I’d expected. I was afraid it was going to turn out to be a bit of a The Thin Red Line. Sorry if you liked The Thin Red Line for me it was just pretentious and far too pretty. I was really worried Apocalypto […]
Gurgel
Friday, January 19th, 2007Well after much fiddling I’ve produced my first complete dynamic cloth garment for Poser. Originally shaped in Virtual Fashion I textured it in Deep Paint 3D and Paint Shop Pro before taking it into Poser where I ran a simple cloth simulation so it has a bit more of a drape to it.

Bit Windy

The Outsiders: Liverpool doubles for… Everywhere
Friday, October 6th, 2006One of the fun things with living in Liverpool is playing spot the Liverpool location in TV and films doubling for other places. I watched ITV’s The Outsiders that I recorded on Tuesday earlier. Lots of Liverpool to spot including some interior shots that I’m pretty certain were done in the building at the University […]
