Rendering and Visualisation

This week at work I have been chatting to and providing models/info for Jim Mann of Lightwell. Jim is producing some Photo-montages of a site we are currently designing to aid with planning permission.

I was very impressed with Jim's work and client list. He actually produced the background animations of the BBC News set..you know the monitors and offices that are behind Sophie and Hugh. I actually thought these were real. Check out some of his other work....talented chap.


While not quite up to the standard of Jim's work I thought I'd post some renderings that me and Paul have produced over the years. I can't claim to have modelled the lorry that's Paul's masterpiece.

Web 2.0

I thought that while I was'nt told much that I did'nt already know, yesterday's lecture was really interesting. Web 2.0 is linking people and information together that I'm sure the internet's creators never dreamt of.

Take for example 30boxes

Me and my friends are now signed up for the Beta of this new application and while there are still some teething issues, it is proving really useful to me and has allowed me to sync: my computers calendar, which syncs to my phone, with my online calendar, with my friends calendars and now with my blog, so everyone can see what's coming up.

30 boxes and blogger are the Web 2.0 applications I use the most. If I could upload full resolution photos to flickr and have unlimited space I would photocast too. I'm not sure about the whole social bookmarking thing yet though. It's good for getting new links tho!!

Anyone got any other suggestions?

Joey from the half way line

In honor of Joey's fantastic strike at the weekend I have created a panoramic shot of his brilliant goal. A larger version can be found here

It's not brilliant quality as the only footage I have to work with is from the TV cameras which blur when they pan. You can see the path of the ball quite well tho I've highlighted it in yellow to make it clearer

Shame he's leaving I think we'll miss him in the summer.

Up the city!!!
