revisited...

2010-03-17T00:07:00.000-07:00

So I revisited a few old scenes I created a while back. I wanted to try out Maya's fur as well as test out some new displacement methods....

Heya fellas, my wonderful wife has put together a website for me.

www.chriswelchart.com

At this stage it'll serve as my "online portfolio", and this blog will be for posting sketches, progress, thoughts, etc. I hope to pick it up the blogging and posting again real soon.

Another medical animation.....

2008-04-16T13:48:00.000-07:00

Here's the animation for that screen shot I posted a week or so ago. It's still not finished completely, and super tight deadlines have really prevented me from going all out, but I thought I'd post it anyway. Cheers

DEMO REEL March 2008!!!

2008-03-04T22:40:00.000-08:00

My Demo Reel!! I'm so excited I've finally been able to compile this! Note that the file is about 32 mb and has sound. I always hate sacrificing image and video quality for a super small file, so that's why it's still a bit big. This is a culmination of work from the company I'm at, group projects from BYU and the classes I'm taking right now, and personal work. You'll need QuickTime to view it.

Old Stuff #2

2008-03-04T22:15:00.001-08:00

Here are some old boards I did for one of Kelly's classes about 2 years ago.

Old Stuff

It's been too long since I've posted. I've rummaged through some old stuff and found another medical-type illustration I did.

Thymidine Kinase Type 1 Immunostain: An Early and Accurate Diagnostic for Cancer

2007-05-01T19:52:00.000-07:00

Alrighty, here's the entire TK1 Animation. Just click the picture below, and it might take a minute to load up.

Keep in mind that this is a super-compressed version and that because of that, the color is all out of whack. I apologize, but it beats waiting for a uncompressed 2.5 GB avi to dowload to your computer. If the pictire doesn't work as a link, try copy and pasting this to your web nav bar, or just click it:

This animation took me about 3 months to complete, and it was a blast. It's a combination of Maya, AfterEffects, Photoshop, RealFlow, Final Cut Apps, and Soundtrack Pro. The shaders were written by me also, as well as a few MEL scripts to get the desired effects. I wolud definetly say that if I was to do it again, I would change tons of things, but I learned so much from it and loved doing it all.

Enjoy!!

ps-here are some more screen shots. These are uncompressed and represent the actual color of the animation.

#2!!

2007-04-25T13:07:00.000-07:00

Here's the second medical illustration for Ryans class. I decided to do it in the same style, just a slightly different subject. I wanted to place emphasis on the tension in the muscles.

This was a fun excersise. We started with the silluoette and worked our ways backward till we were able to render out the final drawing.
