BBH is live

After a few intense months from everyone at Sennep, BBH website is finally live !
I had some fun with the globe and sheep animations, especially with the R&D part.
Technically, pretty much everyone I knew was invited: Maya, Houdini, After Effects, MEL, Illustrator Javascript, Flash, JSFL, Python, Lightwave, Blender.

Some clever mix of 3D and video was used for the sheep animations.
For the globe, I did some 3D modeling in Lightwave for the main buildings, mixed with procedurally painted cities in Houdini - a total of 100,000 buildings, enough detail to do some moving image work with - as well as some fluids and particles R&D for the animated blobs.

I also started the development of a vector rendering engine written in MEL, which writes layered Postscript files directly from Maya. The features so far are animation ( frames exported as layers ), and backface culling. I'm still working on the Z-sorting.

Seymour Powell

Just finished that not too long ago at Sennep, Seymour Powell is a UK based product design agency. Sleek design by Lorenzo and flash build by Oli, and fullscreen 3D intro by myself. A bit of Global Illumination and Final Gathering in MentalRay going on there, and big resolution too: 1850 pixels wide.

Checkland Kindleysides

Paper, 3D, sounds, fluid animations, and good projects: Checkland Kindleysides is a pure pleasure for the eyes and ears . We all worked really hard on this here at Sennep. I was involved in the 3D, the paper sounds, and some ActionScript Debugging. Enjoy :)
