I found this photo when organizing my Harddisk folders. Funny when I looked back into my past, things have changed ever since, I miss those time painting on canvas, or spent one week mid-term break at library practising anatomy and sketches everyday rather than going on holiday or break like others did. It's sad to think about it, as I didn't have as much fun as others did, but I won't be what I am now if I took the other path :)
The other guy on the photo is Foad, my life drawing lecturer on sem 2. Totally a pure artist, he played music, weird music... he does caricature, and lotsa other stuffs.. Genious guy I would say.. one of my best teacher and a guy who influence my life, well.. at least the hair is a good starting point :P
This is my entry, It's totally done in Modo. I won't call it speed modeling, the whole thing take me a day to finish off. Well, the most important thing is that I learnt :) and I'm still adjusting myself to get used to modo. Modo tools are awesome... Hope I got more time to explore.. gotta continue my cylman for now :D
I met Lance a while ago on Indosat job, which require me and KFC to fly down to jakarta to handle and supervise some CG shots. I was told about this film while chating with him during break session, but never been given a clue about the movie. It was supposed to be shown last year, and some of us were invited to the premiere.. but I think as time fly, it's forgotten :P or maybe it could be another reason, as the title said, it's quite controversial. I read the novel, it's thrilling and creative in unique way. Let's see how well Lance portray it into the screen :)
Here's some information about the movie, taken from here

There are 2 most popular techniques used to setup imageplane for modeling reference. Let's discuss both of them.
Before we begin, let's get some image to model. In Photoshop, align them. So here it is:
Use marquee tool to select each image, crop, and then save them separately. So, now we have: car_side.jpg car_top.jpg car_front.jpg
Notice that the car_front is facing right, we need to rotate it 90* to the left, so it's facing down (which is +Z in Maya)
Back in maya, here is the first technique:
01. Using camera image plane. advantage: Easy, less hassle. disadvantage: Slow down maya performance. How? Watch this video :)
02. Using poly plane. advantage: Faster maya performance, easy adjustment. disadvantage: Slow setup. How? Watch this video :)
From both technique, I prefer to use the second one, which use polyPlane. I know it takes a while to setup, but hey.. There's a script to simplify your workflow.
So.. yeah, in the lazy sunday afternoon.. nothing to do.. Redesign the layout, seharusnya lebih rapi dan readable, and the comment is hopefully working now.
Hate to do this, but it's fun once in a while to bimbo blog. Lagi finishing animator friendly rigging part 01 by Jason Schleifer (characterTD - gollum@WetaDigital) and I'm concentrating on utilizing modeling and rendering workflow in MODO. It's a great app, small, but potential.
Let's hope I can come out with something in these few weeks using that software :)
I'll start blogging in english now. Since visitors' number are increasing, I'm confuse to either continue blogging in Indonesian or english. Some complained reading what I wrote. Clarity is necessary, and honestly I'm not so fluent writing indonesian, so to be universal, I guess it's fair.
So, here is my entry.. gw search di gizmodo, dapet atari keychain...
Oh, ini video timelapse the making nya..sory kalo kualitas videonya jelek.. udah mentok gw kompres.. dan sorry juga kalo skill gw ngaco.. but anyway.. here:
