Simple as it gets, my wife is a cactus lover, so here’s another sample. If anyone knows the name, please comment about it, we’d love to know they’re names.

Colored Macro Cactus

Macro photography once more. And again, with cactus as main subject. I’ve retouched this a bit to enhance some colors, composition and focus. If you happen to know its name i’d be happy to learn it.

Vodafone Primavera / Spring TV AD

Madail — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 12:58:22 +0000

This is a tv ad for a Vodafone campaign. It was made while i worked in Ingreme.
The idea behind this ad was that the cellphones ringtones were calling out for all little spring animals, taking them out of they’re winter hideouts.
My role was to make these ladybugs you see in this particular frame. They’re entirely CGI. I modeled, textured, shaded, animated and rendered them in 3dsmax, and used a layer based rendering, with several passes, for the artists in composition would be able to merge and fine tune the look and shot consistency.
Check out the whole ad, its very nice.

Client: Vodafone
Post-production: Ingreme

Software used: 3dsmax

This is a macro photo of another plant / cactus. It spreads along the ground and makes a beautiful fluffy look, a bit like little marshmallows.
