Andrew
Andrew’s first visual memory is that of the white upright piano in Singapore (the one his Father ultimately took an axe to,) Hell and the dark forces lived at the bottom, Heaven and the Angels at the top – they would play battles through his fingers and he was hooked.
If you know Andrew, you know that he plays the piano, it’s just something he does: in people’s houses, bars, shows, etc., he’s a mess when he does not play for extended periods. Andrew believes that listening to music is “good for you,” like air, food and sex – you can hear Andrew’s passion over at music2work2.
Here’s some old R&D renders. This one shows an individual paint stroke. First flat, then displaced and finally with highlights. The idea was to have different paint pigments, some metallic etc. based on the actual “tube” they came from – but as usual, I didn’t have time for that.
The rendering doesn’t do paint mixing anyway so it wouldn’t have been worth it.
The last image shows the same stroke repeated – so it’s a little boring. What’s noteworthy is the curving of the strokes which gives some neat effects, especially on animated objects.
This image shows the preview options available when constructing the image. Points, lines, sprites and strokes. This helps in constructing the image – the density can be visualized with Points, the direction and lenght with Lines. Finally the Strokes show how the render will look – although without the canvas.
That’s it. All done. Last Chance was completed on Dec 22nd 2009. Haven’t been online much after that.
We’re submitting it to festivals now – so stay tuned for screening news. If the festivals don’t pick it up, then we’ll host it ourselves online. So either way – it’ll be screened soon.
