Mars

This is a test for the sort of Terrain my Mars Base will eventually sit on when I get around to completing it. Height map generated in Geo Control and the scene rendered in Vue 5 Infinite with rocks added to the terrain using Vue's Eco-System tool.

Mountains

Terrain map generated in Geo Control and the scene rendered in Vue 5 Infinite ! Also a bit of Photoshop work.

I worked with a Zombie

This is a photo of a guy I used to work with at Atomic Planet Entertainment called Paul Robinson, and this is also a pic of him I did in Photoshop as a Zombie.

Mars Base - Work in Progress

Here's something I started on last summer that I discovered hidden away on my spare drive, I'll eventually sort the rest of this model out and get it placed on the surface of Mars. This was inspired by watching Brian De Palma's Mission to Mars one evening whilst I was looking at Spaceship reference whilst building the Camden Lock for BBC's Hyperdrive.

Framework

A combination of Max,Vue and Photoshop. I set this up a while back but never got around to actually rendering it until the other day.

Block Man

A combination of Poser and Vue Infinite !

Landscapes 2

These are 2 versions of the same landscape generated with a new program called Geo-Control. Both pics are rendered inVue Infinite.

Andrew Conway

I've added a link to my old mate Andy Conway's new website. Andy was born in Middlesbrough but for some reason that eludes me he has chosen to live in Hartlepool, he always did like to live dangerously. Me and Andy were two of the survivors of the late bus from Ingelby Barwick to Middlesbrough in the late 80's, although the physical trauma soon left us the mental anguish still stays and will no doubt never leave. Also me and Andy survived the 1980's on a diet of Coffee, biscuits, Jelly Beans, Feast Lolly's and various kit parts we ingested. Anyway check out his website in the Links bar.

Landscapes

3 different versions of a Landscape I rendered in Vue Infinite to try out some skies I've been working on.

Flying Saucer

This is a new render of Zakak and Zimov's flying saucer from Mad Tom's Farm, thought I'd render it as a model kit, or maybe Zakak and Zimov have come to Earth and misjudged the scale of Humans :)

Another old pic

I can't remember how old this pic is, probably at least 10 years, it's a combination of Pencil, Biro, Ink, Paint and anything else that was in my art box at the time ! Oh yeah the Photoshop work is recent.

Old Drawings

4 Drawings that I did a year or so ago !

Shattered Moon

I made this using Vue Infinite a while back,it was originally a planet but I decided to make it the moon !

Blog Transfer

I've moved my non CG/Work related posts from here over to my other Blog. From now on anything that's not really related to my CG work will be posted over there !

Futuristic Structures

This is an alternate version of my pic Derelict Structures that I posted on Tuesday March 21st. This is when they were't derelict ! Don't ask me how many years is mean't to between these pics though ! :)

Hyperdrive - Holger Danske

This is the ship that I made that was used in Episode 5 of BBC2's S/F Comedy Hyperdrive.

Old Photo Repair

Did this last year for someone, the pic was taken the day before V.E Day in 1945 making this pic May 7th. The biggest pain was getting rid of the mark the sellotape had left between Roosevelt and Churchill. All in all I think I did a good job of fixing the major problems that were on this pic.

Winter Pic

I did this a while back that I discovered on my spare drive, thought I'd post it up here even though this has a Christmas flavour to it !

IMDB Credit for Hyperdrive

My credit for the work I did on BBC 2's Hyperdrive has finally gone up on the IMDB, and for the rest of the guys at Qurios Entertainment who worked on the show's FX !!

Airfix HMS Camden Lock

A mate from an alternate dimension sent me his Airfix catalogue from the 70's where it turns out Hyperdrive was a popular Comedy TV show, starring Windsor Davies, Terry Scott, Felicity Kendal and Michael Crawford, it would end with the BBC 'You have been watching' style ending. Anyway Airfix produced a model kit of the HMS Camden Lock the main spaceship from the show. Sadly the dimensional rift between me and my mate has closed for another 10 years otherwise I'd have asked him to get me the kit ! Oh well !!!

Cavorite Sphere

Here are 3 views of the Cavorite Sphere from First Men in the Moon. For those who haven't had the pleasure of seeing this movie here's the plot summary off the IMDB.

Based on the HG Wells story. The world is delighted when a space craft containing a crew made up of the world's astronauts lands on the moon, they think for the first time. But the delight turns to shock when the astronauts discover an old British flag and a document declaring that the moon is taken for Queen Victoria proving that the astronauts were not the first men on the moon. On Earth, an investigation team finds the last of the Victorian crew - a now aged Arnold Bedford and he tells them the story of how he and his girlfriend, Katherine Callender, meet up with a inventor, Joseph Cavor, in 1899. Cavor has invented Cavorite, a paste that will allow anything to deflect gravity and he created a sphere that will actually take them to the moon. Taking Arnold and accidently taking Katherine they fly to the moon where, to their total amazement, they discover a bee-like insect population who take a unhealthy interest in their Earthly visitors...

I wanted the image of the Sphere on the moon to have the same feel as the film so for the background I used a few grabs of the moon surface from the DVD and stitched them together in Photoshop and had a mess around with the brightness etc...
