ExtremeMusic 3D Flash Website

Madail — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:04:18 +0000

Extrememusic, a world leader in soundtrack and custom music/sound fx, pretty much as Sony BMG or similar, asked us to develop all 3D content that would be used in the Flash Website.

The idea was to create a bad-ass robot with they’re logo. After that, we needed to create 3d animations for 8 sections of the site.

My work involved part of the designing process, modeling, texturing, creating all materials and lighting, and animating some shots.

The website was a major success, and was finalist in 2008 FlashForwardAwards.

TAP Airlines – Fly Higher TV Ad

Madail — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:04:17 +0000

This is an older project while i worked at Ingreme. The only part involving CGI is the ending, with the flying plane.
The plane is all 3D. I’ve modeled, textured, camera matched and rendered it. And with a bit of post-production it came out pretty well.

Persil Powerpearls TV Advertising

Madail — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:04:16 +0000

This is an older project while i worked at Ingreme. It’s a tv ad for Henkel’s Persil Powerpearls, depicting an astronaut that cant keep his clothes clean when drinking some juice.. ”Houston, we have a problem…” he says. But not to worry, as the detergent is already in the spaceship, ready to save him…

…Ok

Several shots and objects are CGI:
Spaceship – modeled and textured entirely;
Objects floating – Pda’s, etc are all 3d
Liquids – Made with particleFlow in 3dsmax and rendered with volumetric liquid materials;
Product box – Modeling, texturing and animation
Demo sequence – i’ve created the fibers, fur, dirt exploding, materials, light and rendering

Client: Henkel-Persil

Bond…Old Bond – CGSociety Secret Agent Challenge

Madail — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:58:24 +0000

This is a personal work, done for CGSociety’s Secret Agent Challenge. The topic is pretty obvious – i had to come up with something to do with secret agents, and spies!
My idea was to imagine a James Bond character in old age, demented in a sanatorium, and always with some secret plan in his agenda… This time? Take out the evil head nurse when the timing is perfect.
Poor Bond…Still living the good old days.

Everything is CGI. All was modeled, textured, lighted and rendered in 3D. I’ve been able to render some extra layers such as the hairs, so i could control better in post-production later.

I have won Best Sculpture Award, and got some really cool prizes, so i will definitely continue to participate.

Software used: 3dsmax, zbrush, photoshop

Here’s your personal butler. Care for a drink sir? – he says.

3D modeling and rendering composited in a photograph to make the illusion that the 3d model is actually there and is real. Check out the images below for another ad and a simple making of to show off the process.

Salsa Jeans – "Wonder"

Madail — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:08:32 +0000

Another work for jeans advertising. I was asked by the photographer to remove the white background. I suggested some concrete wall, urban style. I made the concrete wall in 3D, and then composited the original photo with the render, and edited the photo as needed – modifying body parts, shapes, colors, etc until the desired look was achieved. Check the before/after comparison.

Salsa Jeans – ONE

Madail — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:08:31 +0000

Another work for jeans advertising. This time the photographer had some sets of photographs taken of the models in front of a mirror, one at a time. With those i would then make masks and use them in an environment. This is the final environment, a closet, or dressing room. It’s all in 3D, and along with the final rendering, i made the final composition, editing a lot the original photos. Below you can see one of the original photos as well as some other tests for the environment.

Hi all,

So…this is the first post in the blog section. I’ll be posting WIP’s and all sort of experiments, info’s, etc about the types of work featured around the photoblog. From CGI and 3D, photographic subjects, retouching tips, or simply just chat about something, important or not…that’s what blogs are for anyway. You’re free to read them or throw them away (PLEASE DON’T!!)

So, i hope you enjoy my work, read some of the bulls*** i’m preaching about, comment as you like, share some info, and while you’re at it, contact me for your future projects in CGI/3D, professional photo retouching, Web Development and SEO and design for print, broadcast and new media.

In the shade, we all go through changes… My wife Catarina was testing a new camera and took some photos while i was working. I then picked this one and played a bit with it in Photoshop, to get this undead look. I’ve finally added the effect of some venetian blinds to enhance the shady look.
