3D Animation Inspiration
April 28th, 2009 Posted in 3D Animation SchoolGet inspired! Even doing such an exciting and engaging work as 3D animation one can sometimes get a little jaded and overworked so it’s important to know how to get re-energized and excited about your job again. One of the ways I get re-engaged is to look at some of the amazing work available online. Here are some of my favorites.
This is a matte painting sight with some astonishingly beautiful work. Matte paintings are usually digitally made using programs such as Photoshop and Painter and are used as backgrounds in movies and games etc. Visit MattePainting.org
Look at the ZBrush site. This a great way to model for both games and movies. It’s quick and allows for a more artistic and intuitive approach to creating characters etc. Visit Pixlogic.com
If you’re into lighting and shaders look no further than this mental ray site. Visit Mentalimages.com
If you have some sites you’re enthusiastic about please feel free to let me know about them. Good hunting!
