Dan Lloyd and Element Animation: A Journey into Creativity

Monday, October 12th, 2015 by Trevor Hogg

Disassembling things such as TV remotes and figuring how they worked was part of the childhood of Dan Loyd who found his curiosity expanding into the world of cartoons. The process of discovery went from flip books consisting of stick men to PowerPoint animations to 3D creations with Anim8or. "Even though it´s about 10-15 years behind the industry standard applications, Anim8or helped me learn the basics of 3D animation modelling, rigging and lighting."

3D Artist of the Month October 2015

Thursday, October 1st, 2015 by Nadine Obst

We are happy to introduce to you our October 2015 Artist of the Month: Andrey Kobushenko from Russia.

Andrey has worked as a CG artist for the last 13 years: "My main job is art direction, rendering and lightning". He mentioned that most of what he´s creating is hyper-realistic and he loves rendering fruits, vegetables and various liquids. "I try not to miss a single detail. I tried creating such a render no one ever thought of being CG". We can only agree: His work "Raspberry Day" is so detailed & realistic, you´re almost able to smell the sweetness of every single berry! So yummy!

"Raspberry Day" was created with 3dsMax and rendered with V-Ray, but according to Andrey it doesn´t really matter which software you use: "It´s whatever you like, there are tools to create CG of every complexity. The main thing is to see the picture and analyze it. You need to clearly understand what you want to create and never compromise!"

You can read a detailed article about the "Making of Raspberry Day" here.

Also, check out his Behance gallery to learn more about the development process.

Andrey told us he´s just recently opened a studio called "MELT VFX " which will mainly focus on creating CG liquids. Check out his demo reel:

We wish you all the best and congratulations from the whole RebusFarm Team!

3D художник сентября 2015 по версии Rebus Farm

Tuesday, September 3st, 2015 by Artem Sergienko

Мы рады представить вам художника сентября 2015: Душан Кович (Dušan Ković) - CG художник из северной части Сербии. Он сделал невероятно реалистичную работу под названием: "Кофейный столик", чтобы продемонстрировать уровень своих навыков. Душан рассказывает: "в самом начале я не ставил перед собой цель добиться столь высокого реализма в работе, но в итоге я остался очень доволен результатом". В настоящее время Душан работает в компании Eipix Entertainment, в качестве ведущего аниматора. Несмотря на это, ему интересны различные области компьютерной графики.
"Мои любимые направления в CG - это рендеринг, текстурирование, шейдинг и освещение, но я также занимаюсь моделированием, риггингом и базовыми симуляциями частиц".

Душан даёт волю своему творчеству и не ставит для себя каких-то определённых рамок.
"Я создаю искусство из того, что вдохновляет меня в данный момент. Роботы, танки,  Sci-Fi и многое другое". С его работами можно ознакомиться, перейдя по ссылке.  "Моя главная рабочая лошадка - это Autodesk Maya, главным образом из-за ряда возможностей, которые можно осуществить в данной программе и именно Maya я нахожу более удобной для работы". Помимо Maya, автор использовал рендер Arnold, Zbrush для скульптинга, Quixel Suite и Photoshop для текстур, After Effects для композинга.

Если вы хотите оказаться нашим следующим победителем, в октябре, и выиграть 250 рендер-баллов, просто посетите нашу страницу на facebook, загрузите своё 3Д изображение и отправьте нам личное сообщение со своим адресом электронной почты. Мы выберем лучшую работу и свяжемся с победителем.

3D Artist of the Month September 2015

Tuesday, September 1st, 2015 by Nadine Obst

 
We are happy to introduce to you our Artist of the Month September 2015: Dušan Ković, a CG generalist from Novi Sad, a town in the northern part of Serbia. He created his bodacious work "Coffee Table" to push his lightning and shading skills further. He admitted: "In the beginning, I never expected to push the realism that far, and I was really pleased with the result."

Dušan currently works in Eipix Entertainment as a lead animator in the cinematic team. But he is interested in the wide set of areas in the computer graphics. "My favourite area is rendering, texturing, shading and lightning, but I also do modeling, rigging and some basic fluid and particle simulations." He gives free rein to his creativity and doesn´t commit himself to a certain subject. "I create art from what is most inspiring for me at the moment. From robots, tanks, sci-fi to the nature and still life"

Check out his wide range of creativity yourself: https://www.artstation.com/artist/dusankovic

"My main workhorse is Autodesk Maya, mainly because of wast number things you can do within it and I find it most comfortable for work." Aside of Maya, he used Arnold as render engine, Zbrush for sculpting, Quixel Suite / Photoshop for textures, and After Effects for composting.

3D Artist of the Month August 2015

Saturday, August 1st, 2015 by Nadine Obst

We are happy to introduce to you our Artist of the Month August 2015: "BigStudios" from Brazil, a CGI Studio with 8 years experience in creating 3D stills and animations for advertising agencies.

Check out their marvellous creations : www.bigstudios.com.br

The studio has a wide range of experience, from 2D & 3D illustrations and animations to photography and retouching. Their entry, a highly complex clock for the "Itau Bank", symbolizes the bank´s ability to deal with the variety of the financial world. "We love to produce high complex images! Rebus is helping us specially in these ones ... a service we truly admire!" Their creative team attaches great value to brainstorming: "We never start an image without planning and study, so each image we use to do hand drawing studies for concepts and color composition, before we work on the 3D model." The image was made with Maya and rendered at Rebusfarm.

They´ve also created a fantastic animation of the "Itau Bank" clock in which you can see how every little detail was brought to life in this wonderful composition.

If you want to be our next winner in the upcoming month September and win 250 Renderpoints, just visit our facebook page, upload one of your self-made 3D images and send us a personal message with your email address. We'll choose the best image and will contact the winner.
