Loklo Media 3D Animation Blog

So After watching some Autodesk videos on Youtube, I played with some mirrors and colored mirrors in Max/V-ray to have a little fun last night.

Would you believe that the following four images contain only 5 or 6 primitive objects?

I thought they could be used as desktop backgrounds for anyone interested. Download the 1920×1080 versions here: http://loklomedia.com/files/HD-colored-backgrounds.zip

I did another little comparison using V-Ray this time to see the performance of the 1090T vs. q9550.

See the pics:

Ignoring the first frame render time, as that includes Max startup, I took the average for both:

Pholus (q9550 @ 3.4GHz with 6GB DDR2) – 8:36 (m:s)

Kraken (1090T @ 3.8GHz with 8GB DDR3) – 5:02

Kraken is 41.5% faster in this case.

If you remember this post, it’s not quite as fast as the i7 2600, but for the price, it’s ok, and good enough for now. IF you look at the render times for frame 1402 on the old post, you’ll figure out that render settings are slightly different, and so is the render time – therefore not a valid comparison, but good food for thought.

So I’ve determined that providing businesses with Technical 3D animation is still where I want to be, business wise. I still offer and support web design/development, but the 3D is where I want to be. I will be devoting more internal practice and training to 3D – in architectural examples as well as technical/engineering examples. I plan on expanding my portfolio of both still and animated renders on my site, both to showcase my current abilities, the current abilities of the software, and to keep my technical abilities nicely polished.

Now, you may be asking – who uses this kind of animation/3D service? Well, pretty much anyone with a design or an idea that they want or need to sell or show off. Perhaps it’s a developer who needs to show off how glorious the new architectural design is for his prospective buyers; or the engineer that needs to show what the final design will be for approval by the city. It doesn’t really matter. Lots of businesses need 3D services, and I’m here to help them out. That’s what I do best – I help people.
