We’ve completed three projects to date for developments on Cape Verde. This project was a week turnaround revisit for one of those developments, currently being built by the Resort Group. Additional props were added to the existing images we’d produced, and extra splashes of colour, ready for the launch of their new brochure in the New Year.
These are some of the visuals we’ve produced for Sid in the New Year – for some reason we can’t get Queen’s ‘I Want To Break Free’ out of our heads here in the hutch…agh! These images were produced for large format print, but individual assets were also delivered so our client’s web team could put together flash-based animations of the scenes for online banners and virals.
We’ve had the pleasure of producing all the CGI for D-Link’s spaceman character Sid and his sidekick Terrence the cat, both of whom have appeared all over Europe on D-Link’s websites, in virals, on posters, banners, brochures and even on Facebook! Someone in Europe decided they wanted a Banksy-style Sid to appear on a hessian bag, so one colour screenprinting would be the order of the day. So here he is – another style applied to our favourite character.
Another client but the same group of islands. albino igil were brought in to help finish this project by another company, who supplied us the house models and the island. Our remit was to finish texturing and lighting the project, populate the environment and produce the final animations. We also needed to model the interiors and pop some animations out of those as well. There’s nothing better than staring at sunny pictures all day in the middle of March…
Big, bright and beautiful. We could be talking about ourselves, but on this occasion we’re talking about the rather large piece of kit we’ve been swarming over armed with tape measures, sent to us by the Quill International Group based in nearby Melbourne (the wet Derbyshire one, not the dry Australian one who borrowed the name). The Falcon, as it is known, can not fly, but it can blast layers of dirt, grime and old paint from hulls of ships without the use of chemicals – which in our eyes is a very good thing.
They needed it building and an animation lovingy crafted for a rather large boat exhibition in Singapore – these are frames from the animation which will no doubt have bits incorporated into our showreel in the near future 
Having produced an illustration for Abacus Lighting in the past, their ad agency asked us to produce another illustration for a different range of lighting – the big boys (well – it’s actually their middle-sized boys but to us they were big). Some were modelled from scratch, others had CAD data in the form of IGES files so we were able to convert them into a format we can use.
Ferroli have been rather good to us over the year – here’s another interior shot we’ve produce for them via their advertising and marketing agency. Always fun stuff to work on
Sometimes a product is just too large, too heavy, or too large and too heavy to cart it into a photography studio and make it look pretty under the lights. This is where we come in, we’re the designer’s equivalent of the cavalry (we like to think).
Our client, the advertising and marketing agency for Abacus Lighting, needed a front-cover shot for the product range brochure. After deciding on the concept and meetings with the end-client, we went away, set the 3D ovens to full heat, and a few days later this popped out, done to a turn.
Yet another architectural visualisation, it’s been a busy month for this type of work in the hutch! This one’s a small commercial unit development in Derby.
