Another Houdini Volume Trail Render
Affinity, Houdini, Nuke
More Affinity Work
Affinity, Macro, PhotographyI don’t feel I want to go out and shoot lately. I’m still doing it, but not with the right spirit, and therefore the result can’t exceed the expectations. Thus I don’t have new photographs to add to my gallery.
So, I thought it might be a good opportunity to do some work indoor. In fact, it’s been quite a long time since my last macro photograph.
Plus, I’m having fun with Affinity.
Having fun with Affinity’s Products
3ds Max, AffinityRecently, Affinity launched its vector and bitmap software on Windows.
I already bought Affinity Designer and now I am testing Affinity Photo beta, which I will buy as soon as it’s out of the beta stage. They are both incredible graphic applications.
Designer, despite being only at version 1.5, comes with a list of impressive features. Working with it is a breath of fresh air. The symbol tool itself, with the chance to see the changes applied in real time to the clones, it’s a tremendous boost in the workflow. Affinity Designer is also unique as it combines vector and bitmap in a streamlined way.
There’s plenty of help on the forum and the developers are working hard to release bug fixes and new beta at a fast pace. Considered we are not talking big corporation but rather small teams, it’s a truly remarkable example of innovation and devotion.
There are already rumors about a DTP program and perhaps more.
P.S. The price for Affinity’s programs is a steal!
Volume Trail #2
HoudiniAnother Volume Trail tonight.
UI
3ds Max, After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, VrayTonight I spent some time with a couple of renders for a UI exercise.
I wanted to test a Vray shader for UI renders, below the result.
The grainy material has been rendered with a Vray shader.
More Houdini Stuff
After Effects, Houdini, PhotoshopSo little time lately.
I started a new website with a collection of my photos. I’m keeping myself busy, going out every weekend for a photography session.
Nonetheless, I’d love to focus more on Houdini, but with the given time I end up just playing with it whenever there’s a chance.
So, for tonight’s render here’s something baked just now.
Letter from home
HoudiniQuoting a lovely soundtrack by Pat Metheny, I started a project just for fun, called Letter from home.
First two:
Sun on his face * Language is a Virus
Photography, Photoshop, TypographyI took this picture yesterday at the Getty Museum.
I wanted to try some sort of van Dyck color treatment.
Then I used Language is a Virus to generate a Dada poem.
