Meteor Strike

Scopique June 29, 2020
I forget why I wanted to make a meteor strike effect. Maybe because I thought it would simple to create a projectile effect with a smoke trail, so that was the extent of my original plan, but the overarching thing that I…

Cyberdeck In The Home

Scopique April 29, 2020
As I threatened, I took my rendered cyberdeck and threw it into After Effects. Three times. After Effects (AE) is designed for video compositing as well as motion graphics, but there’s no native way to get 3D models into AE out of…

Old Faithful: Shirow Networks RX7K Cyberdeck

Scopique April 27, 2020
This was the first design I had come up with a few years ago when I first tried my hand at 3D modeling. The design hasn’t changed all that much, but as I have been getting further and further ahead with my…

My First Model

Scopique April 9, 2020
After watching a series of videos on CGCookie.com in which the expert artist took concept art of a sci-fi pistol and modeled the living hell out of it, I said that yeah, OK…I understood everything he did, why he did it, and…

Exploding Windows Revisited

Scopique January 30, 2020
I don’t normally re-do my video projects, usually because I’m lazy and often times because my first pass is about as far as my resources can take me. Since I subscribed to ProductionCrate.com and now have access to not only more video…

Exploding Windows

Scopique January 28, 2020
Explosions are impractical effects for small movie makers and hobbyists like me who need to learn critical VFX skills. I can’t just go someplace a “blow something up” because just writing that on my blog is going to get me on a…

Streaming Alerts for the Holidays

Scopique November 21, 2019
I’m still plugging away at a use for Trapcode Particular, and seeing as how we’re sliding into winter weather like a front-wheel drive sedan with bald tires, I figured that making snow wasn’t just for ski resorts. This is the motif I’d…

Web Animations with Lottie, Bodymovin, and After Effects

Scopique November 14, 2019
If there is one boat I miss not having sailed upon, it’s the Adobe (nĂ©, Macromedia) Flash period of the web. During its peak adoption, I was working for a small web development company and was personally responsible for a lot of…

Swim Lane

Scopique August 8, 2019
When the weather is nice during the work week I will head outside for a quick walk around our business park. It’s a pretty standard neighborhood, although we also house the town’s police and fire departments so sometimes it can get loud…

Enter the Wombat – Drop-in Logo Intro

Scopique August 5, 2019
Here’s my first project featuring Trapcode Particular. I think it came out OK overall. We have a gaming group called Combat Wombat, and our “streaming group” — when some of us were live-streaming — was called “The Wombattery”. We had a logo…
