I’m happy to update that we have finally put together a showreel of some of the suppliers that have signed up for Beta testing when www.tender3d.com goes live next month. We got a great reponse so unfortunately not everyone who sent in material could be included in the showreel. We wanted to keep a balance [...]

An animation dabbling in some black arts in “Alma” by Rodrigo Blaas.
I came across this animation today. Starts off as another cutesy French styled animation (even though Blaas is from Spain) but finishes with a disturbing twist for our dainty protaganist. Well worth a look.

Medical Devices 3D Animation – a Guide for Purchasers
Medical device animations are often commissioned during the very early commercialisation stages of a project, perhaps in the latter stages of regulatory approval. It goes without saying that most of these technologies and processes are highly technical. Most modern construction or industrial products are also technical- however it has to be recognised that there is more to it when it comes to depicting life science technologies using 3D animation. It can often be quite simple to create a usable model of the device, which can be surprisingly simple geometrically and often already modelled in 3D. Also- very often the producer will be able to source good quality models of biological objects from stock libraries – although they some customisation will probably be required. The real difficulty and skill is in understanding and accurately depicting exactly how this device will interact with the human body, and how the different biological/ technical processes interact with each other. Content such as this has to be absolutely correct, and getting this right will take a lot of time and know-how.
Beautiful animation by Alex Roman
I stumbled across this animation by Alex Roman on motionogapher the other day and thought it was worth noting. Superlatives don’t really do it justice but sublime/ beautiful/ amazing go some way to describing a piece of 3d animation that is not only technically incredible but also composited with such grace that I found myself [...]
