3DS Max Character

I really like the the final rendered look of this. The problem is that I haven't found a way to actually animate the character, say make him walk, successfully.

Sea Effect

Made this in 3ds max to see how I could simulate water. It was pretty tricky and still needs some work.

2D mixed with 3D test

Not sure about this yet. It's almost there but the lighting isn't quite right. Maybe will make another scene with static lights

Man and Dog Short Animation

Animation of man and dog character. I'm going to use this to see if I can use 2D animated characters in 3ds max scenes. I'm hoping the outcome will look good and this should allow me to go deeper into 3ds max.

Depth of Field and Motion Blur Test

Depth of Field Test

Worked out how to alter the depth of field.

Light Test 05

Light Test 04

Swinging light using physics.

Light Test 03

Physics simulation in 3ds max. The light shade now has some weight and falls down onto the floor.

More light testing

Better lights...yum

Light Test 02

Playing with lights

Made this in 3ds max. Quite a cool light effect. Pretty happy with that.

Cell shading test 02

Having a lot of trouble trying to get the right effect I want to achieve. I want to get a quite realistic cell shading effect for models in 3ds max. I hope to use this on the background scenes for the animation.

Face

Cell shading test

Trying to create some cell shading effects in 3ds max.

Man and Dog

Man and dog character made using vector.

Almost an animatic...

Storyboard 01

The Wind and the Sun

The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveller coming down the road, and the Sun said: "I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can cause that traveller to take off his cloak shall be regarded as the stronger. You begin."

So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveller. But the harder he blew the more closely did the traveller wrap his cloak round him, till at last the Wind had to give in despair.

Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the traveller, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.

Kindness affects more than severity.

The Goat and the Goatherd

A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock.
He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no
attention to the summons.  At last the Goatherd threw a stone,
and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master.
The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak
though I be silent." 

Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.
