A new CGSociety Tutorial by Alessandro Baldasseroni guiding us through his process for the creation of the Hunter model for the Hellgate:London video game cinematic by Blur Studio. The result, a really nice combination of 3D modeling/rendering and digital painting.

Lightmaker recently launched a full Flash website for the Chocolate Couture Collection fashion show in Toronto. The aim was to showcase a fusion of two highly desired items, chocolate and fashion.
I was only involved on this project for the creative ideas and look & feel, where we decided to go for a full screen flash with minimal approach on the design elements and with a main focus on the Fashion collections through a “carousel” style navigation, to feel more like a catwalk. The project was developed further in a close corporation between the Lightmaker team in Vancouver-CAN and Tunbridge Wells-UK to deliver the final working website. Given the tight deadlines of the project, everyone put a great effort and hard work in order to launch the Cadbury’s site in sync with the fashion show.
The site, created in Flash 8 with content coming from XML, is fully W3C compliant, screen reader compatible and available to both French and English speakers.

The blog is going through a few technical problems, as some may have already noticed, so the next few days I’ll try to solve them out and also upgrade the Wordpress codex to its latest release.
At the moment none of the links are working, but hopefully over the weekend everything will be fixed.
