  • Why do fluid simulations fascinate me so much?

    Probably for the same reason I LOVED taking these pictures: (you should view these large to get the full effect) So here’s one frame from a new mini animation I was working on today. I still have a few tweaks to make, but it took 20 minutes or so to generate this frame.

  • A great little video….the ending is awesome!

  • “Wedge”

    “Wedge” will be my next animated short film. It will be around 3 minutes long and will, if things go well, feature a soundtrack by my good friend Mauricio Tinoco. This is the project I was working on when I decided to make “Jose’s Dinner” I came up with the idea for “Wedge” in March…

  • Shrodinger’s Cat

    My latest attempt at computer animation is called, Shrodinger’s Cat. Check it out!

  • Stats are back in Vimeo…..

    and I’m happy to say that today I got 35 views on “Jose’s Dinner” too bad no one’s leaving comments. But perhaps most of my viewers are not from the vimeo community.

  • Some neat computer animation

    I don’t like posting too many videos because they could be removed at any time, leaving this post worthless. However, here are some neat cartoons I found. The first one, “Wanted”, I found because it was featured in issue #92 of 3D World. It was the final project of some German film students. It took…

  • Vimeo Version 5

    is out! The good news is that it looks slicker. That bad news is that I no have no idea where the heck anything is! Check my stuff out at: http://www.vimeo.com/djotaku/videos

  • A brief respite from computer animation

    I’ve spent a pretty good amount of my free time to try and finish Jose’s Dinner. Now that I’m done, I am taking a bit of a break from animation to do some of the other things I like to do, such as play civ4. The new expansion pack is coming out and I’m extremely…

  • Jose’s Dinner is finally complete!!

    Thanks to my wife, Danielle, and my brother, Danny, for providing voice talents for the film. What are you waiting for? Go see it here. And check back over the next few days, I have some stuff I’ll be adding there.

  • Final Exam

    I decided to give myself a little “final exam” and practice everything I had learned in Blender so far. So I combined soft bodies, the physics engine, and the fluid simulator. It wasn’t exactly trivial – for example – I had to tell the physics engine to consider the towel to be a ghost because…

  • Awesome Mashup

    Here’s a great mashup Remyyy created with vintage footage and a recent song. It matches up fairly nicely! You don’t know me from Remyyy on Vimeo

  • Latest Demo

    I tried another shot at using the physics engine and here’s my latest work. I rendered this at full HD resolution so it took 2 days and 7 hours to render these 990 frames. Enjoy! Back to Basics – Bullet Physics Engine Dominoes (Part 2) from djotaku on Vimeo

  • Fluid Sim (Part 2)

    Back to Basics – Fluid Simulation (Part 2) from djotaku on Vimeo Copied verbatim from my vimeo page: I tried another fluid simulation. I still have a few things to learn. 1) It appears that inertia caused the water to fly out of the cup – I did move it relatively quickly. How can I…
