Heres my last personal work, an abstract composition and experimentation with light and materials in Vrayfor4CD. Somehow related to my "Elphic Fabergé" image since its also a kind of small filigram jewel. about 2 days of work. modeled completely in Cinema 4D , rendered in Vray for C4D and color correction in Photoshop CS3. I hope you like it.

This is and old forgoten design I made about three years ago, that I've rediscover and finished. its a small jewell/filigram based in the mixture of concepts, first the idea of the Fabergé Eggs designed by Peter Carl Fabergé and his assistants between 1885 and 1917 for the Russian Czars mixed with some elphic/tolkienesque imaginery. This work is somehow in the same line as my Poseidons Trident:

This is a Design of one of my favorite Architects, the catalonian Enric Miralles, is a Small theater/playground for children for the Ludoteca at Mollet del Vallés, based in the concepts of Finnish Architecture an furniture design. There wasnt so much photographic reference, but theres a set of suigeneris blueprints by Miralles that was both amusing and challenge to read and transform into the final piece, all the information is superinposed in one complex blueprint.



All was modeled in Cinema 4D and rendered using Vray, with some color correction in Photoshop.

Hello everyone, heres my latest work . its another interpretation in 3D of world famous latinoamerican Cartoonist Master Quino ( Joaquin Lavado ) this time is the cover image of his famous book called "a la buena mesa" ( its something like "the good table" in english but im not sure ) . heres the original ink Drawing:

Some months ago I've had the honor and the pleasure to give a hand to Gustavo Ferrero in the Renderering and postproduction process of his proposal for the 4th Peugeot Design contest : The Peugeot Allscape HD . His amazing car got the 3rd place in the competion ( you can see the original images here:

Gustavo Ferrero Gallery

Ive decided to re-render the Car in a different setup as showed in the contest, in a more controled and Studio-like one, to show the beauty of the lines and the geometry, the Red and Black car versions were made months ago after the contest was finished





the green was made a week ago specifically for the cover of the C4DesMagazine 2007 Fall issue
C4DesMagazine 7

the model was originally modeled by Gustavo in Cinema 4D and I also use it to texture , lighting and rendering ( using AR ) and some color correction in Photoshop CS. I hope you like it.

This is my first post here in the 2D Forum, Im basically a 3D artist, but this illustration was made for the first part of a contest in 3DAttack.net that ask for a 2D concept for later on convert it to 3D and then animate it. The theme of the challenge is Fire & (or) Ice Characers. Mine is a Humanoid Fossil that mysteriously awakes due to an ancient Medalion called "The Heart of Fire" as he awakes from his frozen tomb most parts of the Ice become part of his body give him great strengh and resistance. This is my first serious 2D Illusration and most tecniques comes from my intuition , i hope you like it. As always Critics and coments are Wellcome.

Heres a project that has been around my head since a long time, to take a drawing of one of the best Latinoamerican humorist and cartoonist: Joaquin Lavado "Quino" ( its mostly known around the world by its comic strip "Mafalda", if you want to know more about Quino you can visit his website: http://www.quino.com.ar ), and interpret it as a 3D Scene keeping its main characteristic an style. The scene i choose is the cover of one of its best cartoon books called "Gente en su sitio" ( its something like "People in its place" in english) printed around 1979, and i like it cause as in most of Quino´s work presents a balance between a humor situation and a human drama. all the small details in the image were took it in to account, also 3d modeling was pretty "loose" to achieve a similar style to Quino's drawing style. the scene was entirely modeled and rendered in Cinema 4D with some color correction in Photoshop.

heres the original Quino drawing:

This is my final entry for the Challenge at the Spanish C4D Portal called "The Human Body:Inside and outside" . all the shaders are completely procedural and dont have any bitmaps. all shaders use a sphere as a base, geometry modification comes just by the use of displacement maps. images dont have any modification or color correction, photoshop was used just to compose the page. i hope you like it. as always, critics and comments are always wellcome.

This is my final work for the Challenge "The temple of light" at the spanish C4D Forum C4Des.com, the objective was to research all possibilities of light to produce a place of cult and religious space. in my case theres a play between the cold moonlight coming from the skylight that produces some intrincated shadows in the round wall, and the warm light from all the small candles (about 72, each one with an omni with visible light and a geometry with a texture with luminance), producing a meditating mood. hope you like it.
