Bounce bike

Last couple of weeks i was working on this bounce bike. Since my modelling skills are not perfect, I decided to follow a series of tutorials from cmivfx. The main goal for me is to learn as much as possible. This was a start. This series was great although I don’t think it’s for beginners. Instructor was quite fast and in some situations he didn’t explain what we are going to do. So it was little bit confusing. But I liked this series and this bounce bike is the result. I learned a lot of new things and techniques.

Château de Chantilly

Last week i have visited this beautiful castle. It’s located in a small city called Chantilly. Next to the castle you can find beautiful gardens, which were designed by the same architect as the gardens in Versailles, and a historic stable for horses along a racetrack.

Adobe MAX

max-marquee-ej

As every year Adobe has announced new generation of their software family, during the Adobe MAX conference which took place at the beginning of this week.

So what can we expect??

Adobe announced that the new generation will be available only as a month subscription, which means that you can no longer buy box version of their suite. All products will be available through creative cloud. New generation is called Creative Cloud or CC instead CS 7 as was expected.

Very interesting feature in this new version will be Camera raw filer. Basically we can say it’s not new, but it is so much easier to adjust small details without closing and opening the photo again and again. Next very handy feature is the new shake reduction filter which enables the possibility to save blurred images. I’m really looking forward to try this one.

Adobe-Illustrator-CCIllustrator CC

The latest version of Illustrator will have very handy type tool, thanks to which we can adjust different parameters of every single letter. Another feature is the brush tool. In this version it will be easier to create new brushes from raster images and adjust the parameters, like which part should be stretched.

Adobe has announced alliance with Maxon before MAX conference. And what this means? Now we will be able to edit Cinema 4D cine directly inside AE. You don’t have to render and then import and re-render. Everything could be done inside AE thanks to new plugin called Cineware. And that’s not all. In this version of AE the Lite version of cinema 4D will be included. Now you can create simple scenes, animation in 3D environment! Also camera shake reduction filter was improved among other.

Yet this year’s MAX was different. Adobe announced their first hardware. It is a stylus (pen) for tablets like iPad or Note. But it brings you the convenience of graphic tablet. It has different levels of pressure, sensitivity and so on. This new hardware is called project Mighty. Connection between the pen and the tablet is through Bluetooth. The pen is directly connected to your cloud account. Thanks to this you have all your files, presets and so on under your finger. We don’t know the final price, but I must say it looks very interesting and I want to try it.

Other new features includes the new desktop version of creative cloud connection app which now synchronizes also your brushes, pallets, presets, environments between your computers. Another new feature is the Typekit for desktop, now you will have all the fonts from Typekit on your computer.

This new generation will be released on 17th June 2013

Light bulb

I’ve been working on this prject more than one month. Main reason for that is that I haven’t had enough time. Inspiration came from one image which was showing a light bulb trying to „connect“ to the socket. Whole project is modeled, lighted and rendered in Cinema 4D.

Second one was taken in the winter garden of the People museum also in Glasgow. Next two photos were taken in Edinburgh.

Make something cool every day

The idea is simple. To add new work on regular basis. Why? you might ask. Well I want to improove in those different areas. And the whole idea / inspiration came from Nick Campbell (greyscalegorilla.com). And the blog is on for 3 years and now i can see my improovement.

*edit 10.7 2013

When I started i didn’t know hot to create an 3D object or how to achievie parituclar efect in after effects. But now im working on different projects and i still need to improove 🙂 This blog serves me as a way to look back and compare how did i improove or if i have imrpooved.

If you want to get better in anything like photography or motion design don’t be affraid and share your milestones with others 😉
