Plantation

Posted on December 15, 2011 by Bryan

Lately we’ve been invested in work for a client that has required, among other things, models of 19th century Southern-States plantation workers and owners.

So, here we have some of the models in all their glory. This was a fun one for me because I got to try my hand at texturing. Thanks to Hannes for all his patience with me, and as always thanks to Xavier for the great meshes!

Seamonsters and Cannons

Posted on December 8, 2011 by Bryan

Today we bring you more artwork in our Asset Crafting series. We’ve made some Steampunk-inspired cannons for great clients of ours, Sea Monster.

These cannons were used in an iOS Augmented Reality app we built, in which an interactive cannon fires at a seamonster that emerges from a business card. The truly excellent work comes from Master 3D Modeller Xavier, and Master Texture Artist Hannes, with a few concept sketches from myself.

Check out this video of the app in action!

For more info on Seamonster and the cool things they do, check out their website at seamonster.co.za.
