Ian Hubert's 2010 VFX Reel

Phew!

It's been over 4 years since I last uploaded a demo reel, so I figured I should get things updated!

Feel free to check out my (soon to be updated) website at www.robotsoup.com

Most all of the 3d stuff was done in Blender, with compositing in After Effects.

A lot of the footage comes from the film I've been working on for the past 4 years, "Project London" (www.projectlondonmovie.com).

The shot flying down the city street is from Andrew Bellware's film 'Clonehunter' http://pandoramachine.com/films/0904/.

The song was written by my friend Scott Hampson and I, and performed by him.

ALSO! Other folks who deserve great shoutouts for parts of the CG work in there:

Paul Spooner, Dolf Veenvliet, Nathan Vegdahl, Nate Taylor, and a lot of the Project London footage was shot by Barry Gregg.

How did you add grain blender?

[mrdodobird]

@flop5 Ah, only the 3d elements were in Blender- I still did tons of compositing in After Effects. Blender should be getting great grain features soon, though!

[LeonelAlvarez84]

Woo your renders are just beautiful!

What kind of rendering software do you use? is it the default blender rendering?

[mrdodobird]

@LeonelAlvarez84 Thanks! And yup, Blender internal.

[MichelIchiy]

Awesome!

I don't know Blender, but I know that it does not support Mental Ray or Vray, right? Which renderer do you use? I've heard of Yaffray renderer, is this one that you use?

God, what a quality you have achieved with Blender. Master.

[mrdodobird]

@MichelIchiy Thanks, man! Yup, Blender works with Yaffray, but I actually just use the Blender internal renderer. It can give some really impressive results!

Thumbs up if Freddie sent you here from Twitter!

[mrdodobird]

@freakjobb Hahaha, I should be paying them for creating such a great program and letting folks use it for free!

[flop5]

@mrdodobird Thanks so much! I've moved from AE to Blender and that's something that's really needed. I was wondering how it would be done in Mango. Best of luck with the project!

[Digitaldreamsreality]

Yeap! Amazing Man! Beautiful Work's!

[tek5828]

@mrdodobird That's an understatement! with you it gives AMAZING RESULTS!! I wonder what you could do with cycles!

[RobertPictures]

[ToxicMediaNYC]

[postrock]

I just cant stop watching your reel..

can i ask what kind of hardware are you using? how much ram did you need to install to render the heavy scenes?

also.. good luck for Mango.. :)
