One of the aerial shots I did of the UCSD Rady animation made it on the Autodesk Design Visualization Showreel 2009. You can find the clip at 1:24 - a fast to slow aerial with the HMC Architects logo on the frame.

Consulting & Training

Submitted by chris on Wed, 10/14/2009 - 03:53

I enjoy teaching others when scheduling permits - if you're in the Southern California area I can be available for consulting / training. This can range from the simple to complex - from simple instruction to more complicated project workflow issues.

My primary areas of expertise include 3ds Max, VRay, Photoshop, and After Effects and how they create an efficient process for visualization.

Video Copilot - great resource for compositing

Submitted by chris on Thu, 09/17/2009 - 16:50

I've been really getting into compositing lately and there's a great tutorial site called "Video Copilot" that is absolutely amazing.

Adding tutorials section soon

Submitted by chris on Sun, 09/13/2009 - 18:54

I'm updating the site a bit - it's about time I start sharing some of what I've picked up over the years so in the coming several weeks I'm going to start putting up some training / tutorial type materials. I'll start with some presentations I've done for the San Diego 3ds Max User Group but hope to make it a semi-regular aspect of my life.

I've learned a ton from all of you over the years and I'm looking forward to giving back.

Cleaned up gallery

Submitted by chris on Sun, 01/04/2009 - 01:23

Finally eliminated some of my older work from the gallery...

Time for some early spring cleaning...

Submitted by chris on Mon, 12/15/2008 - 20:45

I've noticed my gallery section is getting ridiculously long. The problem with this business is you spend countless hours on a project, then a year later it seems outdated but I find it hard to remove... Oh well, I'll clean it out soon so its easier to keep track of whats new / better content...
