basecamp vfx

after a week of working at basecamp, i have finally embarked on my houdini journey.
after days of rotoscoping dancing chicks with flying hair and fur jackets and hoop earrings, and 11 textures of realistic building i finally upgraded to houdini work.

thank god


but then again, its texturing.. trying to get used to the houdini interface but the renders in Mantra are really awesome.. i have yet to tweak the specular map though
the render above is just a basic render..no gi no nothing..
i m in awe of the people's work there.. i m like so far behind. really takes some getting use to.....

2 more balls to go.. and an animation of a bike to clean up..
they use alot of camera projection.. lol..

til next time..

oh i'll post a screen shot of a roto node view in Shake tomorrow.. hahahaha... its really really heavy

a little girl's thoughts

i'll never know why love is amplified by distance and fear
the saturated colours of union can fade to blur tones
the thirst quenched, back to facing walls
theres no one around, but the enveloping crowd of self indulgence
thats when my thoughts turn to you.

i am curling and hiding in my blanket, seeking the warmth thats no longer there.
i am thinking and fretting, pulling back the threads of time that we flowed thru without a thought..
i am wishing and hoping, that i am facing the walls together with you swimming thru the waves of time together in the same space..

why i can't explain why the same space felt bigger right now
the sad words of a love song realized its meaning in my heart
i might have drowned in sorrow least for the memories of us that still cling on to my consciousness

tired

work at basecamp is nice..soothing and comfortable.
yet challenging

anywayz... another new work.
