An interesting little personal project over the course of 12 hrs. I discovered the freeform desktop customization tool, rainmeter, and decided to dabble in it. This background was the culmination of my attempt at a techno-future holo-desktop.
This is the start of my background project for my rainmeter desktop. I started with a desktop background from an anime I like and photoshopped out the text.
This was the text-less background. Next came the background elements, so that only the character remained.
Almost there. Now to change the background color...
Easiest step. Here was the hardest part. overlaying the various effects to achieve the holo-display appearance.
This image may be the most difficult to see or explain without a properly calibrated monitor (as the effects are color-calibration dependant and muted) but here is where the moste effort went in. The device in the girl's lap has a port added to the top with a light-emitter cascading out. It appears as if it's projecting a rectangular display with a faint bluish-white outline. The icons and various effects in the display were rainmeter additions added after the destkop was finished. The background has a dot-matrix grid pulled from another image added in and transformed to appear to continue infinitely into the background with a waveform grid cascading underneath. All-in-all, this took about 6 hrs. from downloading everything I needed to the final desktop image.
This was an attempt at modeling a setpience in the blender program. It later became an addition as a combination of another Blender project at a videogame aircraft to become a postcard in my graphic print resume.
Another Blender project I tried to learn proper texturing and lighting usage. This is actually just a couple blades of grass, copied over, and rearranged. The "sun" is a light source, placed out of focus, and the camera source was pulled in extremely close to create the illusions of an environment that doesnt really exist.
A little test to keep my Adobe skills sharp. Everything was done in Photoshop.
An Image concept of a website idea I had. The conceit was that this would be my personal website. The arrows would slide the window to the next image, which displays part of a design or image I created for one reason or another. You could then click it to have an enlarged window show the full inage with a link to the source in the location where it was created for. The tabs across the tob would all be operable and the arrows up top could also just switch between tab pages. I intended to seek out a third-party to bring this idea to fruition, but eventuallyended up studying web design and programming to create this website myself. I guess you could list this one as "WIP". :)
