Welcome to my site

I create digital images for business. This is my online portfolio. It contains the best bits from my last few years of paying projects and some personal stuff which I do for fun and research. I use 3D Studio Max for the industrial stuff and Maya for the organic wobbly bits. There are many types of work on the animation page; Product design, Medical/Pharmaceutic, Television, Corporate video, Special effects and Interior design visualisation. I like nice diffuse shadows and beautiful reflections. If I do a product I try to render like a pro photographer would shoot.

Things I am good at

--Fiddly projects with lots of little bits that all have to join up properly.

--Studio type rendering of products with lovely lighting and reflections.

--Technical and scientific exposition.

--Getting high-end CAD data to look good and be manageable in a desktop 3D package.

--Projects that need an element of physical simulation i.e. liquids, cloths, hard and soft body collisions.

The animations on this site are available in quicktime and (mostly) windows media also. I think that should cover all the bases but please let me know if something doesn't come up as it should.

Wow! How much does it cost?

The quality of the quote I can give you relates to the quality of data you can provide me with about the project. If you just want a ball park figure and only have vague information about the project thats fine. But ideally I need information about the length, purpose, format (HD, web, dvd whatever), what you want to see, and what data you can provide, (blueprints, cad data, photographs, models) to give an accurate quote.

Me.

I have been creating 3D animations for a long time now, ever since 3D Studio Release 1 came out and I sold everything I had to get a 486-33 with 16 megs of ram! Back then there were few people who even had a decent computer so I got used to tackling fairly big jobs on my own. I know it can be a stressful experience hiring in a freelance, but I like to think I have had a happy relationship with all my clients. Its much easier for me to get repeat business than to go out looking for new clients all the time.
