Nike Plus

This was another cool project I did at Nervo…
I’ve worked on this project since the first concept and then ended up developing the entire spot… so was a pretty good experience.

We had the opportunity to use motion capture data (thanks for nike labs) for retargeting into our 3d rig using Softimage XSI.
This piece was pretty fun to do and I like a lot how it turned out.

A few frames… and the link for the mov  http://nervo.tv/index.html?sect=5&proj=nikeplus

Fox bird

This is a preview render for the Fox project we did here at Nervo… this is just the bird directly from 3d, without any composition or whatever.

This was all done in Softimage XSI… modeling, shading lighting, animation, rendering…

This is a preview test.. not the final. You can watch the final here  http://nervo.tv/index.html?sect=5&proj=foxmovies

Renato Alarcão

I’ve met this great artist and teacher: http://www.renatoalarcao.com.br

I can see how much I’ve improved my 3d modeling techinques after I started to draw and paint.
Today I can feel more objective during the modeling process… And I’m happy that I’m more comfortable in both enviroments  – 2d and 3d.

Air Race

Here’s some photo I take from the RedBull Air Race event, which happened here in Botafogo bay.
It was crazy to watch how fast and close to the water that pilots can fly.
