A compilation of 2D work I've done! Most of it is from 2 or 3 years ago and 98% is done in after effects for large corporate companies in the Caribbean! (I'm based in Xaymaca, you might know it as Jamaica LOL.) I then Took a whole year and a half off from mid-2021 to the end of 2022 to study motion design in 3D/Houdini/USD and I don't regret a minute of It. It was quite challenging at times, and still is actually LOL, in a good way; Now, I'm on a new journey to work with global brands and agencies. What I offer to any team and any project is a wide huge breadth of artistic and technical knowledge, always up for tough challenges and I treat my profession like it's a sport, this is to say, the team comes first all times. We might not win all the time, but the most important thing is how we recover from temporary losses to win the next game. I learn fast because I know the importance of having the right foundation when practicing or studying anything. Check my Instagram via https://lnkd.in/e2Fd5FSS to see my latest 3D work and it will continue to grow on a weekly basis. My skillsets include: Animation - (Very skilled with animation curves) 3D Modeling/Sculpting - (Hard Surface & Organic | I know Sub-D's well) Surfacing/Texturing - (Where our models come to life and tell their story) Lighting/Rendering - (Unleash our inner photographer/cinematographer) Compositing - (Shot through the same lens, at the same time!)

Chroma 0011 - In Which the Author Delegates Matchmove to a Former Student Who Now Runs his own Company in Thailand A couple of weeks ago, I reached out to the legendary matchmover (he has over 100 credits) and my former student, Bandhavit (Mann) Puangpikul. He recently shared his new studio reel with me, and I wanted to take the time to simply congratulate him. It's always a heartwarming thing to see a former student evolve from being an artist to creating a company to serve others. We ended up talking for over two and a half hours. We are both from South East Asia, and I know the challenges of running a creative business there all too well. Our chat led to my proposal for a partnership. One of the most dreaded things in any compositing program is matchmove. In the last 13 years alone I have used Boujou, Autodesk Matchmover, Blender, Cinema 4D Matchmove, PFTrack, Mocha, SynthEyes, 3D Equalizer and NukeX. Tracking is the first major area in which students fail. I've seen so many great-looking shots abandoned by students because they couldn't get their shots to track properly. Honestly, some of these shots are hard, especially for a first-year compositing student. I averaged 20 students a year doing a minimum of 15 shots each, I spent a lot of time giving matchmove notes when I should be giving integration, roto, paint notes. I made a deal with Mann's studio; Adamvfx Studio, and I sent some files over. This is what he sent me. A professionally matchmoved scene, with 3D geometry, undistortion, and redistortion data! FYI, I simply asked him to track just the screens! Seriously, this is a student shot, and they went to town with it. One of the goals at ACE is to equip my students with the skills to manage projects efficiently, and outsourcing teaches them an important lesson in delegation and resource allocation. While we won't outsource every shot at ACE, it's really a special treat to work with a scene that just.... works. If you are looking to outsource, get in contact with Mann Here's how LinkedIn : Bandhavit (Mann) Puangpikul Company : Adamvfx Studio Website : https://lnkd.in/gTdcUTNX Email : info@adamvfxstudio.com 💬#MadeInThailand #AdamVFXStudio #AlphaChromatica #Matchmove #ACE #Chroma

After a long time I was finally able to finish this piece “Dadar Bari”, meaning “Grandfather’s House” in Bengali. As the name implies, it’s the house my late grandfather built in Dhaka, Bangladesh. His intentions, very Bengali-like, was for the whole family and the future grandkids to all live in the building, but life sometimes just turns out differently and me now born and raised in Sweden figured that I could maybe recreate my own piece of this on my side of the world instead. My key take-aways from this projects were: 🔸 Getting to know more about geometry nodes. While my brain unfortunately doesn’t brain when it comes to operational and math-based abstraction, I’m trying to just Rock Lee my way through this. The level of variation you can get once geometry nodes are set up fits so well into a varied environment-creation workflow. And once you do get things into place, just using the finished geometry nodes as a tool is quite fun. 🌱 A “why not both” approach. This came down to the way I created my vines, where I in previous projects had abandoned flat-planed vines for being “too simple and fake-looking”, but without and exorbitant amount of triangles, it was hard to get density of the leaves. So taking some time to set up an atlas that supported both my 3D and 2D visions while still being in the same bake made sure that they also fit into each other nicely and giving me the effect I wanted. 🏄♂️ Getting more out of my comfort zone. I got around to buy Follygon’s sculpting class and got a better understanding of the pipeline of creating stylized characters, and while it’s still an uphill battle, it’s fun to at least know the route. Same thing for VFX, I’ve been avoiding VFX in Unreal like the plague, but I’ve slowly eased into it. My downfalls were probably that I still can’t make sense of animating in Blender. It just felt so intuitive and easy in Maya, but I can’t make sense of animation key poses and keys disappearing in Blender. I recognize it’s something I need to wrap my head around for whatever my next project is though, because I think it’ll be a cornerstone of creating life in a scene. Either way, I’m happy to have made an environment that wasn’t using Unreal landscapes which I feel like I sometimes was relying on quite a lot, so I had to get back to just hammering down my asset-creation. I had a fun time creating my trimsheets, and as a bonus, when I decided to branch out and create the surrounding houses, it didn’t take that long to create simple shapes that could use these trimsheets and expand the world further. I also got to try out a new fun way of creating stylized trees by creating painter-like leaves that still used 3D-geometry as a based so I could bake it down to normals, but still incorporating it into SpeedTree which felt like a workflow I will enjoy trying again. #blender #ue5 #unrealengine #substancepainter #substancedesigner #levelart #environmentart

BLENDER SOFTWARE Blender is a powerful open-source 3D creation suite that covers a wide range of tasks such as 3D modeling, animation, rendering, sculpting, texturing, and more. It's widely used by artists, designers, and animators to create various types of visual content, including games, movies, architectural visualization, and virtual reality experiences. Key features of Blender include: 3D Modeling: Blender offers a comprehensive set of modeling tools for creating complex objects, characters, and environments. Sculpting: The sculpting mode allows artists to manipulate and shape digital clay as if they were sculpting physical materials. Animation: Blender's animation tools include a powerful keyframe-based animation system, rigging for characters, and the ability to create intricate animations. Texturing and Shading: Users can apply textures to models and create realistic materials using nodes in the shader editor. Rendering: Blender's rendering engine, Cycles, and its real-time engine, Eevee, allow for high-quality renders and quick previews respectively. Simulation: It has physics simulations for smoke, fire, fluids, cloth, and more, which can add realism to scenes. Video Editing and Compositing: Blender can be used for basic video editing and also includes a node-based compositor for advanced post-processing effects. Python Scripting: Blender has an extensive API and allows users to write custom scripts to automate tasks and extend its functionality. Game Development: While not primarily a game engine, Blender can be used for creating assets for games and has some game logic capabilities. VFX (Visual Effects): Many visual effects can be achieved using Blender's tools, making it useful for both independent filmmakers and professional studios. Open-Source: Blender is free and open-source software, which means its source code is available for anyone to modify and contribute to. This has led to a strong community of users and developers.

Ok this is important because ai-generated vectors will pave the way for diagrams, flowcharts, etc. Vector images = lines between points vs Bitmap = pixels. Rescaling and certain kinds of editing and animation are much easier with vectors. https://lnkd.in/g3aJ3kdE
