This is the last of the Lego models in the 4939 kit. Once again Lee-Kuo my son, built it in Cinema and I did the final rendering. He learnt many things about 3d with this project and I have begun a stop animation of putting together the Lego racing car.
Lee-Kuo wanted me to put his picture on this blog and I thought it was so good I would have anyway. He created it for a school competition. The school uses microsoft windows so Lee-Kuo had no idea how to create with such an outdated tool, the school gave him permission to use my Macbook which has all the latest creative programs. The competition was to create a picture from the last scene of a movie and this is what he created. He used Cinema 4d for the scenery and Photoshop for the effects. He got a certificate for 5th place out of many schools and students, well done Lee-Kuo, we are proud of you.
After making lots of these houses with my students I have decided to create an animation showing how to make this lovely wooden doll’s house. I have just begun the animation so it will take a few months before it’s on my YouTube channel. To look at photographs of the real thing please visit my DIY blog at diyfamily
This is hole 9 in the series of miniature golf my son made during the summer vacation. This hole is very difficult to play, you must hit the ball exactly in the center of the tube. Many people have played with these beautiful wooden crafts and they have had lots of fun. Until the next hole, good putting.
It has been a few months since the last Brio model was posted here. I have been guiding my son Lee-Kuo in modeling and lighting in Cinema 4d with his lovely Lego models. Anyway, here is another great wooden toy which is no longer available. I find it such a pity these old classic toys are disappearing from the toy shops. Until the next Brio, have fun with the wooden railway.
I was with Lee-Kuo as he put this model together, we were sitting in the first Starbucks in Taichung. It took him less than two hours to build this model from the Lego blocks he had already modeled. He did a quick render with a spotlight and it looked superb. I kept the original camera angle but changed the lighting and this is what turned out. Until the next post, happy rendering.
I just recognized this blog is one year old, it’s amazing how fast time flies. I would like to thank everyone who has visited this blog and left a comment or has found it useful for their 3d projects. May everyone find peace and truth.
As Lee-Kuo was building a formula 1 racing car in Cinema 4d he just decided to render this view with a spotlight. To his amazement this is the picture Cinema rendered and he wanted to put it on this blog, it’s one of those beautiful backlit high contrast pics. Lee-Kuo is having a lot of fun exploring 3d.
Finally Lee-Kuo had time to finish his brilliant first ever Cinema 4d model. He did an incredible job of learning the basics of 3d and what a lovely result it is. Originally he wanted to do a stop animation of building the car but some pieces were missing so he modeled it instead. I’m sure he will do an animation of building the car and put it on YouTube. Until the next post, safe driving.
Finally after many months of modeling, texturing, lighting and animation the Drawdio instruction video is complete. It seems that people are interested in this video because in just 5 days 6000 people have watched it and given it a good rating, thank you. Originally I wanted to use the Drawdio for the soundtrack but decided to keep it very quiet and relaxed, so I used Bloom, a wonderful little app from Brian Eno. click here to watch the Drawdio video
