I Speak in Pictures -

Hey guys, finally got round to uploading these scenes and getting you some download links. Some of you may have scene that i gave away some melting scripts that i wrote not too long ago, if not check out the post ‘Free Realflow Melt Scripts.’

There were a few of you having trouble with the general melt scene in getting it working, so i’ve put together a demo scene file for each script that should work straight off. You can have a look under the hood and check out what’s going on, so hopefully you can get some of your own melting projects going!

I’ll record a proper tutorial of how to push these further and work with elastic materials soon, but in the meantime enjoy

‘Free Realflow Melt Scripts!’ – Here

Quick one here, just posting my new showreel. Been a lot of hard work in there and would be amazing if you could all have a watch and pass it on where you can

Been quite busy while pulling this together but now it’s done i’ve got some tutorials up my sleeve for you! First off this week i’m pulling together some scene files to go with the melting scripts i gave away a while back. Hopefully should answer questions some of you had about working with the scripts. FYI the general melt script was used in my ‘Melt it’ piece posted below and i’ll give you a few pointers on getting the melt to work with elastics in real flow too.

I ran a test using the melt script i posted up at ispeakinpictures.com a while back with Realflow’s elastics as a base. Instead of just posting an RF simulation video i thought i’d throw a little edit together.

Simulation – Realflow
Render – Cinema 4d + Vray
Post – After Effects
Edit – Premiere pro

Hoping to get my act together and get some new RF / Vray tutorials done over the next few weeks. Still learning Vray for a bit though before posting anything particularly useful for you!

I’ve been exploring using Vray within cinema 4d lately and rendered out a couple of test shots for a project i was working on and thought i’d share them.

I had a little tweak though and had to completely re-do the textures to create Vray materials.

(oh and new tutorials are definitely in the works right after i’ve finished putting together this new showreel, which should be done soon-ish I’ll put out a few little tips i’ve come across recently in the meantime within the next week)

Machmoving test 01 from Kieran Mithani on Vimeo.

Lately i’ve been getting stuck into matchmoving pretty heavily. Trying out a lot of tools and techniques, i reckon i’ve found a pretty sound workflow for this stuff. Mixing 3d work into footage is right there in terms of the direction i’m looking to go with my motion graphics.

Much more work needs to go into the compositing to lose the 3D edge is probably needed like the shadow in the wrong direction really irritates me, but i’m pretty happy with the solid tracks i’m getting……(continued)
