3D Computer Animation : 3D Design, Models, Modelling, Music and Film by Brian Pedley
Below are a series of experimental animations and images I produced whilst learning (I still am) to use 3D Studio Max. Each animation has a gallery of larger stills you can view. The short films are in Flash Video Format so you'll need to have Adobe Flash installed to run the animations. I'm looking forward to working on some new animation projects later this year....time permitting!
Atmosphere 2 Animation - Short Animated Film, 3D Design, Modelling and Music by Brian Pedley
This film was a chance to experiment with moving an object around an environment using Studio Max. The textures were created from photos I'd taken of drift wood on Brighton sea front. To view the animation click the image left. Below are a series of thumbnails from the finished animation.

Concrete Animation - Short Animated Film, 3D Design, Modelling and Music by Brian Pedley
This film was more about learning how to use cameras and setting paths in Studio Max than creating models. I like the fact it looks a little bit sci-fi. To view the full animation click the image left. Below are a series of thumbnails from the finished animation.

Kawai K1 Synthesizer - Short Animated Film, 3D Design, Modelling and Music by Brian Pedley
This was definitely a labour of love, recreating my beloved Kawai K1 Synthesizer in 3D Max. The animation is simply the 3d model set on a 'Matrix' style white background. To view the animation click the image left. Below are a series of thumbnails from the finished animation.

Desk Study Animation - Short Animated Film, 3D Design, Modelling and Music by Brian Pedley
Desk Study is almost certainly my most ambitious project to date, with over 40 individualy rendered objects. It's almost a self portrait capturing various elements of my day to day world. To view the animation click the image left. Below are a series of thumbnails from the finished animation.

Texture Blue Animation - Short Animated Film, 3D Design, Modelling and Music by Brian Pedley
One of my first films to use moving objects and simple animation. Looking at it now, it's probably a bit too dark. I'm interested in going back to this project and having another go. To view the animation click the image left. Below are a series of thumbnails from the finished animation.

Abstract Model Animation - Short Animated Film, 3D Design, Modelling and Music by Brian Pedley
This study was based around a card structure I made at university modelled from photos and drawings. The 3D model doesn't use any texture maps and relies entirely on light and shadow to create an atmosphere.
