Done in half an hour in Deborah’s Motion Graphics class. We were supposed to depict space in this sketch.

Been a long time since I painted with the tablet. Feels good to be back. Feels even better to paint on the screen itself.

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Was hired to create a mockup of a cafe for a client sometime last year. I was given a drawing on a napkin and they expected me to complete a 3D visualisation in a matter of days. That would have been no kick for a seasoned pro, but at that time I was just getting [...]

Did this as an exercise for stop motion class this semester. It was to practice animating a walk cycle against a strong wind. The reason why the [...]

Haven’t been posting stuff for a long time. This is one of the things I’ve been so busy with. Will probably do the texturing next week. This looks simple, but i had a tough time figuring out mental ray and subsurface scattering and final gather and global illumination. Still lots to learn man.

As promised, I am posting up an artwork I did for 3D lesson. I was supposed to draw a place that is in one of my earliest memories as a source of inspiration for a model we are going to build. I remembered a lot of my childhood spent in the Tampines Central Park, simply [...]

After looking around the NTU ADM forums I [...]
