RCUK Animation update

Well I've won my first paid commission. An animation for The Resuscitation Council UK to help identify the signs of cardiac arrest.

clickety for the project site.

Here's a clip from the pitch, the actual collapse will be more effective; staying with the sufferer as she falls backward, feeling the impact with her.

It's a 3ds Max (I never know what to capitalize when I'm writing that; '3DS Max' I guess would be correct - 'aint pretty though) version of a playblast ... 'make preview' I believe, not quite as catchy. Keep watching my RCUK animation blog for updates. I intend to have a video gallery there soon but there's been some complications, incidentally anyone trying to reach me on my talktalk.net mail...can't, there's a fault so I'm waiting to get access to activation e-mails.

Looking forward to getting a full quality render on this sucker in the near future.

....tee he he, 'limp and heavy'.

Can you tell what it is yet?

Childishly excited by the fruits of this evenings modelling/texturing. So much so that I’m posting prematurely (it's never happened to me before, I swear). One is a object from the past with this clue:

Give me food and I will live; give me water and I will die.

the riddle answer is only indirectly linked to the object, no fun if it's easy.

And the other one is obvious so I won’t be thinking up a riddle.

Dark to hide the fact that it was modelled to American standards, i.e evil mirror twin.

I have two distinct intentions, the first object will be used in a surreal manner and rely on good compositing to sell it, the second will be invisible until it reveals it’s outlandish properties.

Have fun with those, post a comment if you know the answer, there'll be a cash prize at the value of your immortal soul multiplied by the amount effort in solving the riddle

(soul measured by old testament standards ... and subject to interpretation)
