Macro
February 13, 2012 – 23:24
When I bought my Canon 7D one of the first thing I wanted to do so bad was shooting macro. I always loved such abstract stuff that nature brings to our eyes. Thus I added an extension tube sets to my gears and I started to have fun. It was a while I wasn’t shooting [...]
Some Skecthes
February 11, 2012 – 23:09
I was thinking to buy a tablet for home since a while now. I already used the Intuos 4 lot of times at work, really good tablet but just never got real advantage of it as I always used it as mouse replacement. Also, it was the medium size and if you ask me I [...]
Look up

Not much time lately. I’ve started a new image in Softimage that I’ll post soon. Anyway I was checking some old pictures I took a few time ago and I found the following one. Nothing exciting, but then I played a bit with it and I thought that rotated could become more interesting. Also I [...]

Hard to pass a night without touching SI, even though it’s just to throw out some basic stuff. So, after messing around with Power Extrude I’ve had to add a floor. And then a light. And eventually I wanted to see a different material from the default one. So, here it is.

There’s no particular connection between the two pictures below. They were just hanging on my desk for a while, then I decided to post them here.

SI: little steps forward
January 15, 2012 – 01:50
Another little test playing with Softimage and Final Gather. Not hard to admit: playing with this lighting stuff in Mental Ray is *so* different! My feeling is that at the beginning one is gonna spend a bit more time to figure out how to get the proper parameters that play well with the scene (still [...]
This image is a bit Soft
January 4, 2012 – 22:27
So, what’s the deal? Well, I’m trying to overcome the first obstacles as I’m thinking I want seriously study Softimage (formerly known as XSI.) Really, this is a great package. Of course I still use Blender and C4D with their and my limitations. In fact I prefer C4D when it comes to drop quick mograph [...]
First 2012 picture
January 1, 2012 – 21:43
Actually is not the first of 2012 as I took this picture on the 31th. But all in all is the first picture that I’m posting on my refreshed blog
