Moose Skull v2
Finished the skull but i'm thinking its a little too complex for a logo so i might try simplifying it out.

King Wah Restaurant 01
Here's a link to a website I am currently building for the King Wah Restaurant.
The site will be done in several phases to monitor the benefits of the restaurant having a web presence.
Phase 1 will be a static site with a menu and possibly a down loadable take away menu.
Phase 2 will be a content manageable version as well as a booking system
Phase 3 will be an on line ordering system
Still in the mid stages of phase one it is hard to tell if it will need the later stages.

Xmas Box
Box v2
This project will be to try and rig a simple box object and see where i can take it.
Since working at KMP i've just stopped using 3d studio max so i thought id have a play with it.
heres the screen shots of the work in progress
As you can see the whole "box" will just be made out of one mesh and you can just make out the basic bones inside the mesh.
A screen shot after the bones have been shaped to fit the mesh and added, using the skin modifier.

Adv animation
Heres my first go at using Syntheyes and putting 3D models into footage.
it all went ok, obvioulsy loads of tweaking still needed but for a 1st project i think it went ok.
all the footage was actually filmed in day light and i used After effects to try make it into a night time scene

Green Website
After finishing Uni i though i'd have a dig around and clean up my laptop and i came across my very 1st website!!
I made this in A level and then added some extra bits in the 1st year of university. My Flash knowledge has improved (a bit) since then but its always good to look back and see where you started i think.
A mate stated that it's very green, meaning the color (he has no website knowledge) and i think that statement just suits the site perfectly, it is green in every aspect of the word, but just like the color its a good way of comparing the growth in my skills.
Since then i've only had a few projects involving Actionscript but look forward to the next big project which allows me to perfect my Actionscript skills.

Cannon blast Poster
This is the print version of the poster i created. The colors are a lot lighter than the original version because of the way the ink came out, i might upload the original version later.

Cannon Blast
This is the final video i submitted for my project, i classed it as more of a pre-vis or work in progress due to the minor errors it still has but im still quite proud of it considering i did it all myself, most happy about the new techniques and skills i picked up, and hopfully now unis nearly over i'll have more time to improve on them.
Thanks to all those who have helped me.

CS5!!!
arrgh Adobe are bringing out cs5 in a few days!!!
currently have LOTS of problems with cs3 and cs4 due to the fact i have a trail for cs4 at home and uni are using cs3.
and as im sure a lot of people know cs4 after effects isn't backwards compatible..perfect.
so this is about the 5th time i have had to rebuild this cs3 file just because i get lazy double click the file and it defaults
open with cs4 and so when i close it and open it with cs3 it tells me i need to update!!!!!!
but back to cs5! this looks coool. the cs4 photo shop preview was of content aware as well but i never really used it much, due to it
being a bit tricky i think, or it never poped into my head to use it but i think this looks well handy.
