Seedcamp and FDMPro.com

2nd June 2008

A little more than week ago I with my friends from FDMPro.com have taken part in Seedcamp.

It was really nice, filled with great experience two days in our native Kiev town. We had a chance to meet a lot of interesting teams from all over the world and masters of their own business, which were our mentors for that period.
Here is video presentation of FDream online football manager I have done for Seedcamp. We had really tight deadline, but I like final result:

BTW, we have won it (in Ukraine it was a selection part) and our team should show polished FDream project again in September in London.

BottleGreen’s CG music video “Hacker” by Pavel Konstantinov

17th April 2008

Hi everyone.

At last I have some free time to prepare and upload my animation online.
It’s CG music video for song “He is Hacker” of Ukrainian music band “Bottle Green”. Leader of the band is the friend of mine so I created this animation almost for free in my spare time.

Hacker 3D preview

You can download Medium-resolution DivX video here:

Almost everything was done by me during last year and rendered in December. Final cut with some post-fx was done in January of 2008 with help of my friend Vadim.

Update: my video was mentioned at 3DTotal.com which is really popular 3D resource.

Some additional details and Low-resolution YouTube variant of the video are under cut…

Free 3ds max animation tutorials by Tyson Ibele

20th March 2008

I’m a big fan of Tyson Ibele’s artworks. Just look at his site – there are plenty of really inspiring animations!

A week ago I have suddenly noticed a new tutorial on his site.

It’s – Animation workshop #1: roboBall

Tyson Ibeles animation tutorial

Tutorial consist of four parts: Animation, Shading, Rendering and Compositing. But the most interesting is the first part. I was stunned when I saw his straight workflow and his animating speed! Especially compared to pose-to-pose technique I am trying to use in my animations.
It was really great experience watching how Tyson is animating his robo. If you have missed this guy – hurry up to his site.
