Illustrator Tutorial: Batteries

Haven't done an Illustrator tutorial in what feels like a LONG time. This one is pretty quick and easy to accomplish, but it still yields an impressive outcome. This tutorial utilizes the 3D effect in Illustrator, which I haven't used since the "Wine label" post for DMA455.

Earth explosion using 3D Studio MAX

Pretty neat stuff!

3DS MAX crane animation

This is the final product for the 3D crane assignment. I would like to go back and map a "Rockstar" label on the cylinders and then possibly animate the crane arm swinging around and knocking the cans over when the crane had finished stacking them. Other than that, I'm pleased with the outcome. A lot of hours and early mornings needed to build this project, but it was worth it.

So here's the final animation for the Cleveland Cavaliers logo.

3D Studio MAX snowman scene

This is a snowman and a winter environment that I rendered using 3D Studio MAX. It felt pretty good to be using 3D Studio MAX again, as I haven't used it in nearly 2 years. Luckily, some of the skills I have acquired in the past are beginning to come back to me.

3D Scenes: Part 1 of 3

So this is one of the 3D scenes for the New Media Tools assignment. Our task was to use the 3D effects offered in Illustrator (Bevel/Extrude, Revolve) to create some 3D scenes.

Illustrator 3D effects

Fooling around in Illustrator with some 3D effects like Bevel and Extrude and Revolve. I also messed around with the shading and perspective options as well.
