Merlexi Wheel Chair

Most of the model was done in Solidworks and brought into modo. I modeled the wheels and seat back in modo. The whole file was textured, lighted, rendered and animated in modo. Final file was composited in Adobe Premier Pro

Mavizon – Autobot

This product showcase animation is for a new company – Mavizon.   They used this animation at ‘i-Stage’ in November 2010 which they won.  The product model was developed in Solidworks.  I took the product into modo and performed texturing, lighting, animating and rendering.  Finally the animation was composited in Adobe After Effects.

This project is a perfect example how animations can be used for a brand new product to demonstrate the value concept.  Go get’em Mavizon!

RSI Project Animation Reel

This animation shows a very unique and remarkably simple conveyor system.  My client provided me with models from Inventor.  These were brought into modo and textured, lighted, animated and rendered using modo 401.  There was quite a bit of extensive rigging on this project.  Everything from the several mechanisms used to the sequencing of the overall line. Adobe Premier Pro was used to pull together the movie. Further, these animations were complied into a Flash document seen here

Six-Axis Robot

This animation was a personal project where I was studying the camera path and camera focal point capability in modo.  Solidworks model from 3D content central brought into modo.

Connectors Flying in

This video shows connectors coming in and out of the picture.  It was part of a campaign to show speed of delivery.  The models are Solidworks and were brought into modo.  The texturing, lighting, animating and rendering were done in modo.

Box Close Animation

This was an animation I did to show how fast product was to be shipped.  I used a Solidworks imported file into modo.  Then used modo to generate the box.  I used morph targets to bend the box into submission.

Calendar Animation

This was a quick animation to show how quick the client could ship certain products…I imported Solidworks files and then modeled the calendar in modo.  The multitude of connectors are done using a replicator in modo.

Golf Swing Dude – Test

This test animation was developed while learning modo’s rigging system.  The model and character rig was developed by Josh Ruthnik (monkeez on the modo forum).  I further developed the rig and performed the animation portion of a perfectly executed golf swing.  No – that was not a big ‘hook’ that our robot hit.  It is an optical illusion from the moving camera angle.  He actually hits it quite straight.

Cylinder cut-away Animation

This brief animation shows a cutaway technique used to show the inner layers of the shaft.  This animation was modeled and rendered in Solidworks/Photoworks
