My Weekly Dose of Art Works

Here comes my first walk through animation I made for Officina Leonardo, it needs some improvements, though I believe its not that bad as my first walk through animation.

Some of my latest Works In Progress can be find in WIP section.

Only 9 months after moving to Italy, I started a so-called internship as a 3D visualizer in a small architecture office in the heart of the Eternal City, Rome. By the beginning of this month I started my work as a paid worker officially at the same office. Despite my intention during the past months I had no time to devote for the Audi A3 due to the fact that I got lots of university assignments, but fear not for instead I devoted my time mostly improving my skills in 3D visualizing. Here is a work in progress on which I have been working recently.

The next step would be Post Processing, light & color tweaking by Photoshop.

Some Updates : )

3D Modeling has always been my field of interest, yet I never took it so seriously; and most of my early 3D models were left unfinished unfortunately. To make an end to this laziness I started following a tutorial on an Audi A3, been kinda slow on making that but so far so good. Slowly but continuously.

Just a quick note, added 3 sections to my website, 3D Gallery, Photo Gallery and Sculptures, just to access any of them, click on the appropriate button at the top of the page.

Well, here is the final version of my Night Elf.

It took me over 75 hours of work to make this sculpture out of plasticine (oil based clay). I tried different methods to make the eyes, lips and the nose; I made the organs, then I removed them and made them again with another method. I believe the eyebrows ain’t as i expected, but couldn’t do anything about them for I was in a hurry making them.

To judge my work, I took photos of the sculpture from different angles, then study the photos on my compuer. Also to correct the shape of the sculpture, I did not look at my sculpture for awhile, which helped me to understand which organ is not well made.

And here is a brief about Elves in case you dont know much about them:

All elves are exceptionally long lived and, at one point, were immortal, though the main races of elves have lost their immortality. Further, all elves possess glowing eyes, a sign of the use of great spells — a being of any race can exhibit glowing eyes while focusing or casting a particularly powerful spell, but the trait is innate in only a few races, most of which are demons or undead.

As a general rule, elves are slim, athletic, and graceful. Furthermore, they all have large pointed ears that tend to be greeted with admiration or mockery by other races.

Typically, night elves have longer ears than high/blood elves, whereas the latter’s point upward rather than backward.

A characteristic of elves on Azeroth are their unusual eyebrows, which extend beyond their faces, resembling either whiskers or antennae. There has been no official coverage of this anatomical oddity, despite it being present in all official artwork. Though it may be speculated that this is due to the elves extreme longevity; the brow’s continuing growth over the life of the individual to its extreme length.

One similarity between night elves, high elves, and blood elves has only recently come about. The night elves sacrificed their immortality and much of their power at the end of the Third War. Thus, all elves are now mortal and have comparable lifespans that can extend as long as several thousand years.

A couple of months ago I did  3D Arch Viz of a jewellery store located in Yazd city for a firm called Bavar Novin, last week its manager called me and offered me a job and asked me if I have got the time to go on a business trip with him to Yazd to shoot some pics from the store. Despite I was almost familiar with what they wanted to do, when I got there, I really got surprised by the efforts put into the details of this store. Aside the pre-made luxurious props, there were some props especially designed for this store.

Here are some shots from the store.

Phew, exams over and I am back again, almost after one month, huh? during my absence my blog got affected with an exploit script twice and took me a lot of time and effort to sort the whole thing out, it was quite time consuming, so make sure before setting up a wordpress blog, you are familiar with any probable hack attack, and use some security plugins to insure your blog files. Anyways, during my exams I dedicated a day to pay a visit to a stable and horse racing field located in eastern side of Tehran, it was fun to see different types of horses. Horses are one of my favorite animals, the way they move is so unique in their own way. I really enjoyed watching this mare’s movement.
