A 3D recreation of Inostrancevia, remains of which were found in Russia and South Africa. I originally built the model for a project back in 2017, but the creature was pulled from the lineup. The model has been sitting on my hard drive since then waiting for me to get around to texturing it up. NO AI was involved.
A 3D model of a trilobite, on an ancient sea bed. One frame from an animated sequence currently in progress.
A curious puffin taken from one of my designs, available to buy at my online shop.
3D model of an Ammonite (loosely based on Pectinatites). This is an updated version of an older model I created a few years ago. Modelled in Cinema4D and Textured in Adobe Substance Painter.
CGI recreation of Ichthyosaurus communis swimming, this is one of the smaller species of Ichthyosaur, an ancient marine reptile from the Early Jurassic period of Europe. Modelled, textured, animated and rendered by myself (no AI used). Using C4D and Adobe Substance Painter.
A 3D reconstruction of a structure uncovered from beneath the sands at Whitesands Bay, Pembrokeshire. The video that the still was taken from was created for Pembrokeshire County Council and working closely with The Dyfed Archaeological Trust (as it was at the time). I created the 3D model and animation, a colleague (Nev Howell) did the landscape texturing and final rendering.
Freshly emerged mushroom on the Great Orme with dramatic sky in the background.
A single frame from a trilobite walk cycle animation. Untextured 3D model.
3D model of a trilobite rigged to demonstrate enrolment - eventually the model will be used in an animation. Getting all of the individual plates to overlap properly, and not pass through each other, was a major challenge. The next phase of the challenge is to get the legs in and get them walking for another animation.
