Hey peoples, I thought that I would show you some more progress I've made on the re-construction and re-design of my portfolio website, this is what the animation page is looking like. This is a pretty final design for the animation page, however might make a few changes concerning the images, but that's all. All I have to do now on the website is re-design the photography and design page. See you on the next one, Adam

It only seems like yesterday since I launched my 2015 version on my animation portfolio website, however for our current business module we have all been asked to create a new website. I decided to use this opportunity to work off my old website and completely overall and restructure it. This is the current state of the index/homepage. I have managed to get the slider all working to the browser size and it also plays videos! Which is super handy. Index/Homepage - Portfolio Website I don't think I will be changing the homepage around much anymore as I think the overall design and layout is pretty much there, maybe a few minor tweaks before the business deadline in February 2016. Now it is all go for the rest of the pages which will follow in suit the same theme as the homepage, with some neat new editions and features. See you on the next one, Adam

Hey Folks, Apologies for the delays between blog posts, lately its been hard to get a even balance of work and personal time due to having 5 university projects on the go at the same time. So in between university and free time I decided to have a go at some particle effects using a range of 3D software like Maya Particles, Fume Fx and Krakatoa and then doing some composting in After Effects. It was all quite fun and I really did enjoy fiddling around with settings in After Effects to change how things looked from the original render. Here are some screenshots of what I came up with. 3ds Max Fume Fx Explosion 3ds Max FumeFx Tornado Maya Krakatoa Particles Maya Krakatoa Particles Maya Particles Sword Hopefully I'll have some time over the Christmas break to upload some of these in a video format.

I thought I'd share with you the very main three reasons of why I'm here doing what I'm doing with my work and future. So get the coffee or tea, sit back and enjoy the read... So long ago when I was probably about the age of 4 or 5 my mum had gotten me a Super Nintendo Entertainment System with Super Mario World on it. As a matter of fact the first ever game I played was on one of those really old computers where you had to type in the console commands to get it to work, but I can hardly remember that... just don't ask how I've managed to remember this, I just strangely have. Anyway, I used to play Super Mario World (1991) on the SNES a lot, and I still never managed to complete Super Mario World, ( but that soundtrack was so awesome). I really need to dig out the console from the attic and play that game again with the cartridge. Super Maro World (1991) on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System From the SNES I moved to over the GameBoy Colour with Pokemo...
