Top Gear Continental & Peugeot Rally Game
The flash game for Top Gear has finally been unleashed onto the interwebbamajig.
Did all the graphics, but I found filter forge 2 invaluable for making the texture sets for the landscape. Very nice program there !
You can play the game yourself at Top Gear Continental Rally
May update; there was also another version made for Peugeot with three different terrains.
You can play the game here : http://www.topgear.com/peugeotirc/game.html

Rubber Alphabet
Playing around with cloth and the mental ray materials in 3D Studio Max.
Kind of a vinyl/rubber alphabet. Perhaps I should rename it the S&M Alphabet.
Anyway, here’s the image; click for full size.

Fun Bits Escape Plan Intro Concept
An early concept for a Fun Bits intro & explosion exploration. 
Created in 3DS Max, Photoshop and After Effects,
Jordu Schell – “Fred”
Just recently acquired a new sculpture from the incredibly talented Jordu Schell.
I gotta admit, it’s one of the most detailed and lovingly crafted pieces I’ve seen for a long, long time. The attention to detail on the sculpt and painting is second to none !
Rarely have I ever had a piece that creeps me out as much as this character. To the point that I’ve going to have to display it in my studio and not my house, as the blank stare coming from Fred unnerves me.
Don’t believe me ? Take a look at these images I shot.
Schell Sculpture Studio offers the finest creature and character design available anywhere. The studio has been providing concept art in the industry for over ten years, and owner and head designer Jordu Schell has been in the film and television industry since 1987. His talent as a designer and sculptor is world renowned, and his credits include: “Avatar”, “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian”, “300”, “Hellboy”, “Aliens vs. Predator – Requiem”, “Men in Black”, “The Mist”, “Batman Returns”, “Edward Scissorhands”, “Alien: Resurrection”, “The X-Files Movie”, “Predator II”, “Galaxy Quest”, “Evolution”, “Babylon 5-The Series” (on which he designed an emmy award-winning creature make-up and the first fully digital creature for a television series), and many more.
Merry Xmas from Fun Bits
The xmas card I designed for Fun Bits Interactive (FBi) saw the light of day today on Kotaku.

I did have initial concerns about showing Santa having a body cavity search, but I think it’s quite tastefully done. 
The Marvellous Mechanical Mouse Organ
Based upon another illustration I did a ways back, I thought it would be nice to animate this in 3DS Max. It took a day to build, texture and animate but another full day to render it. I just wish I had the processing power to add caustics to the scene, but ho hum.
Oh. And if you think the mouse heart is far too big for the scene, that’s because all of this takes place in a shoe box.
Battersea Power Station
I’ve always held a fascination for Battersea Power Station. Such a grand Art Deco building, but also reminiscent of a dead cow lying on it’s back.
Would be nice to pluck it up and place it somewhere where it can be enjoyed more. So, I suggest we tie a lot of balloons to it and float it away somewhere nice. By the Sea perhaps ? Battersea-by-the-sea. Click for skegbigness.
