Mantis - W.I.P.

I created the model close to a year ago, I think, with the intention of making a short and simple clip. The model was never completed to my satisfaction, and much less the rendering. So I left it at its incomplete state.

But I have finally decided to just finish it. I did not improve on the modeling nor the rendering. I did try to tweak the lights and all, but it was still unsatisfactory. So I used back the same old file and continued to do this short clip, using After Effects to touch up the look and feel of it.

It's about 1/2 done now, I think. And I hope to finish this up in soon.

Mage

Edited the color of the iris to be brownish. I do think it looks better.


This is the 2nd character of the 4.

Admittedly, I don't like this character as much as the Shifter. But I cannot pinpoint what is it that I don't like as much..... But, overall, I still like it!! HAHA

Shifter

This is the 3D model of the Shifter in its full glory. Now fully rigged, skinned, textured with morphers. Done by Paul :)

SHIFT

This is what and why me and Paul has been staying until 9+ almost every night for the past 2 weeks.

The 4 humans were modeled, rigged and skinned by Paul, the 2D paint over for the landscapes were done by him too. I modeled the 4 creatures, model the environment, did all the animations and UI designs. Of course, all these artwork would have been meaningless if not for our programmer, Chris.


A lot of work went in compared to about 9 days ago when we had to show the old build to some people. But of course, the work is far from over. We'll still be improving the graphics and programming.

All 4 Characters

As mentioned in the earlier post, the other 2 models are done. I did a quick posed for them and rendered them all in 1 group shot.

Characters

These are the 2 characters Paul had design, modeled, rigged and skinned. Not textured yet.... 2 more to go, but they should be ready soon.

National Myopia Prevention Programme

This is one of our recent projects. A 3-levelled Flash game, wallpapers, screensavers and widgets all done for the Health Promotion Board as part of the National Myopia Prevention Programme. It's a little ironic that we are using computer games to educate myopia prevention though....

Anyway, designs, illustations and animations are done by Sonia. I like what she has done, I hope you too will find it nice. :)

Wishing You A Happy And Prosperous Chinese New Year

With so many holidays going on this period, we have decided to do up a simpler eCard for the Lunar New Year. A still image with lots of red should do the trick for this Chinese New Year eCard.

Happy Chinese New Year and HUAT AH!!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

PD Design Studio wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The eCard is finally done.

It is actually a mini Flash Game where by you collect musical items to help the Quarter-Note Faery remember her tunes so that she can spread the songs of joy this festive season.

Graphics mainly done by Paul, some help from Sonia with the lovely animals and background. Programming solely done by Paul and music too is composed by Paul.

Feel free to forward it to a friend.

Thanks to Ray for reminding.

Bus 3D

I spent like close to a day sometime 2 weeks ago doing this up. It was a pitch for a project, which we had just found out, we were not awarded. Sigh... unfortunately.

I know what you must be thinking. CARS!!! I copied CARS! Well, that is really because that was the brief. Anyway, it was fun while it lasted.

Xmas'08: e-Greeting Card

Paul, with some assistance from Sonia, spent the past few days doing up our company's eCard. Just abit more to go and it will be done.

So here is the preview. The link on the card is not live yet, but will be ready in a couple of days time.

More update.

A rather dumb looking creature....
