Mata Nui 3D rendering and Greyscale bump maps

 Here you have the basic shape and a rendering of the island that were used for all kinds of different 3D material.

Cryoshell Breakout coverart

3D concept renderings of Metru Nui

Back in 2003 I created a 3D test model of the city of Metru Nui and did these overviews of the giant city. The model was done as a very detailed greyscale elevation map and rendered in an old program called Bryce with some additional work in Photoshop. I've included the greyscale bump map.

News from Cryoshell. Coverart for Gravity Hurts

It’s been very quite for a long time but I’m happy to announce that I’ve just finished the visuals for two new single recordings from Cryoshell. A rerecording of “Gravity Hurts” and “Breakout”. Many things has changed but the core of the music is the same so you can look forward to the 2 new powerful tunes that soon will be available online. More info will follow as soon as possible.

The Bionicle legend told in stone and sand

Back in 2000 when not much Bionicle material was produced I was faced with a difficult task. On the CD-rom that would be included in some of the launch canisters we were to explain the Bionicle legend visually. How could I show the foundation of the legend without destroying the epic vision?. I would be impossible to produce the 3D scenes that would do the idea justice with giants rising above the clouds. At the same time explaining the foundation would give away the secret of the great robot beneath the seabed. The answer was “keep it simple”. I decided to tell the story in simple shapes of sand and stone. A circle filled with sand where the Turaga would tell the legend and keep the score of good and evil by moving the symbolic stones around. That became the stone legend and it was staged in an ancient temple in the jungle. This temple also worked as the navigation of the CD-Rom produced by Advance with 3D assets from our own 3D department and Ghost. This CD-Rom also included the small movie clips that introduced the original Toa and their environment.
