Some lymphocytes. Was experimenting with the C4d Mograph displacement tools and wound up with these. ]]> Mon, 18 Feb 2008 14:37:20 +0000 http://joeld.cgsociety.org/gallery/582422

Shot from an animation showing a field of nephrons inside the kidney. Nephrons are networks of microtubules which filter waste from the blood.]]> Thu, 10 Jan 2008 03:14:57 +0000 http://joeld.cgsociety.org/gallery/562120

Here is an updated render showing an arterial thrombus, or blood clot resulting from the rupture of the arterial wall, taken from a recent animation. There are some elements missing here, ie: platelets and many more rbcs and wbcs (which were present in the versions of this image shown prior to this posting) I'll try to update the image soon.]]> Fri, 16 Nov 2007 06:29:02 +0000 http://joeld.cgsociety.org/gallery/567621

Just some fun with Maxon's mograph module in Cinema 4d. A rcent thread reminded me of this image I had created a few months backThis scene is created froma plane primitive applied with several extrude effectors randomy extruding and bending polygons. The displacement deformer was added and then micropoly displacement added to that.]]> Fri, 30 Nov 2007 19:52:44 +0000 http://joeld.cgsociety.org/gallery/520789

Heres are some illustrations showing a craniotomy procedure for the removal of a brain tumor done a few years ago. All elements were created and rendered in cinema 4d and then heavily worked into in photoshop. The client wanted a more painterly look rather than an obvious 3d style.]]> Sat, 21 Jul 2007 17:17:39 +0000 http://joeld.cgsociety.org/gallery/520079

"Normal" Cell and a Cancer Cell.]]> Thu, 19 Jul 2007 14:15:04 +0000 http://joeld.cgsociety.org/gallery/485633

Heres a fun little experiment in instancing and greebles which wound up being the banner image for our studio. It was one of the first tests I had made with AO back when Cinema 4D 9.5 was released a few years ago. Used Ditools for the "lens" instancing and the plugn Structure for the greeblies.]]> Sun, 15 Apr 2007 00:08:57 +0000 http://joeld.cgsociety.org/gallery/471818

Heres a scene I had begun back in 2003 which I had always meant to finish. There are a lot of things I'd like to do with it, specifically get a better UV map on it and work into the suraface texture a bit more. Dust mite's have a weird ridge pattern covering their bodies, and I'm happy that the image here reflects this feature, but to be honest, a lot of that wound up being a lucky accident. But, sometimes thats just how art is, you stumble upon something that works.

I hope to eventually rig him up one day.

Heres a WIP shot from an animation project I am working on. The animation will show the process in which the Human Papilloma Virus invades the upper layer of skin (epithelium) of the cervix. The aethetic goal was to create the sense of an immense crevice which will contrast to the scale of the tiny virus particles.

I will post more shots once its complete.]]> Wed, 22 Nov 2006 22:33:35 +0000 http://joeld.cgsociety.org/gallery/397433

Here is a frame from a short test animation done for a museum installation created in Cnema 4d and AE. Cinema 4d's Hair module was used for the underwater plants, and used Trapcode's particular for the floaties. Trapcodes "Shine" was used to add some glare to the specular highlights wich helps add a sense that we are in a fuid environment. Frishclufts's lenscare plugin was used for the DOF--all in AfterEeffects.]]> Fri, 25 Aug 2006 14:12:28 +0000 http://joeld.cgsociety.org/gallery/366169

This was a fun illustration fo an Environmental Science book, showing what can be found beneath the soil in a typical forest.
Modelled in Cinema 4d and some post work done in photoshop.]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2006 04:32:50 +0000 http://joeld.cgsociety.org/gallery/366152

Heres an illustration for a science textbook from 2005.
Rendered in Cinema 4d (AR with ambient occlusion) with some photoshop post work. Car was not modelled by me--it was from a Dosch collection.

I've been reading lately that AO renders are the new chrome sphere/lensflare. While I have to agree--I will also admit that they are currently one of my guilty pleasures. So until they are completely out of vogue (who would imagine such a thing back when we were making chrome spheres!?) heres an AO render of a computer chamber done for some concept art for a film.

One of these days when I have time I need to return to it and re surface for myself.]]> Sat, 22 Apr 2006 20:40:43 +0000 http://joeld.cgsociety.org/gallery/346690

Here's an image created for print for a pharmaceutical company, showing a surgical procedure on the carotid artery.

An altered photograph was camera mapped onto a model of a head. A separate model was built for the carotid artery/skin flap setup. The client had additional work done to it, but I always preferred my result, shown here. Thanks for looking.

More to come soon...]]> Sun, 16 Apr 2006 23:31:49 +0000
