good taolaai: May 2008

Current obsession 0.1

Todos sabemos el impacto que las gladiator sandals

tuvieron el verano pasado,y que todavia persiste en este

que viene.Mas musts del 2008 son las YSL tribute sandals,

amor a primera vista,o las magnificas Dior and Givenchy

ankle sandals que ya estan causando dolor en mas de una billetera...

Pero no siempre se reducen las cosas a los it shoes de cada temporada,

los clasicos nunca mueren,ya bien sean las miticas pumps de Chanel

o unos Roger Vivier,en mi caso my current obsession es por las

Salvatore Ferragamo Vara-bow pumps,en cuantos mas colores mejor!

My Little collection

My Current obession is: Vara by Salvatore Ferragamo

Never out of fashion, the timeless calfskin pump with 3cm

stacked heel and signature bow.

The Halo Effect

After dabbling around with post rendering effects, I decided to upload a modified render from my previous blog post. This image has a Gaussian and vector blur added after the picture was created. The Gaussian effect was applied evenly in both X and Y directions followed by a slight vector blur on top. This gives the image a cool halo effect, which I may use again in a future animation using multidimensional arrays.

Spherical Patterns

Here are three renders I have created from the animation uploaded in the previous post. I have moved the camera slightly and readjusted the lighting to give it a better appearance. For these still shots I disabled the motion blur as the effect did not suit a motionless picture. Enjoy :D

Synchronized Spheres

Since my last animation was fluid, I decided to do something completely different this time round. In this scene I have created dancing synchronized spheres making something completely random :P

I decided to use a slight motion blur in the animation to emphasize the speed the balls are moving. The animation doesn't look to great in the standard low resolution of YouTube videos, I therefore suggest you go to the YouTube page with the video on and watch it in 'High Quality'

Lava Lamp Light

It's time to unveil a new render again and this time around I have created a lava lamp with the red lava floating in a clear liquid. This lamp is standing in the corner of a room casting shadows of the lava and the lamp on the wall behind it.
