FMX ’11, Day One
Posted in CGI & Rendering, Compositing, Films, Lectures, Quotes, Reports, Technology
Today was more or less routine. In total I did not spend more than about fifteen days in my whole life in Stuttgart and many things feel so boringly familiar to me already: Breakfast in the common room of the hotel, packing my bag for the conference, parking in the Most Expensive Parking Garage, obtaining my ticket from the front desk.

Shading in progress…
Posted in CGI & Rendering
Hey everybody! Sorry for not updating in quite a while yet again, but as you already know: When there’s not much on the blog going on, then there’s much work I’ve been doing. Amidst all the NDAs and top-secret stuff there’s something now from a current project I can show you. Read on if you’re interested in the current progress of the awesome project I am currently involved in and wanna see some eye-candy.

I am more of a satisfyzer (yes, just I made that word up) than a maximizer but I am not up for any compromises when it comes to t-shirts: If I have an idea about a certain print I want then I won’t settle for anything less than exactly that.

3dsmax & Brazil r/s: Gold Shader
Posted in CGI & Rendering, Tutorial
I am working on another project for BigBoy Productions and I needed a realistic gold texture with proper reflections but which doesn’t take eons to render. Years ago I was very close to photorealistic gold but unfortunately I forgot a big deal about it. After playing around for days I finally came up with a good solution which I will present you in this tutorial.
