Unfinished Room

I did this room in 2006, a 3D forum was running a competition to make a scene using only the textures they provided, I was a little late downloading the texture pack so I only managed to make a start on my scene, later I did a bit more to it for the fun of it. I just found this render that I'd done at the time as I was building the scene.

Honey Nut Cheerios commercial - Part 4

I did this at the time of making the CG model just for a bit of fun, I did a render and tried to create the illusion that the ship I made was a miniature being filmed by a motion control camera against a blue screen. The motion control camera came from a still I found on Google.

Honey Nut Cheerios commercial - Part 3

I went to see my mate's over at Qurios Entertainment yesterday, and Niel there told me that I had to update this blog or he'd post the video he has of me up on You Tube, now I'm not sure what video he means but I wasn't going to take the risk.
So here's an update. When I first got the offer to do the rocket and gantry on the Honey Nut Cheerios advert I started building a section of what would have eventually been a much chunkier gantry, this was just the elevator/stairs and access ganty, to be fastened to something with lots of pipes detail etc...

As I mentioned in my first post about this advert, the guys at Uli Meyer Animation liked the European Ariane 5 style of ship and gantry over the US/Nasa style of craft. I didn't really have a final idea for what the rest of the gantry would look like, but I was looking over some Derek Meddings and Mike Trim stuff from the Gerry Anderson era of miniature FX, also found some nice miniature work by Martin Bower which made great reference.

I salvaged a few part of this for the finished gantry but otherwise this has gone into the spare bits folder on my PC.
