What's new
Below is a chronological list of things added to the site.
Moravia - Wien photo album
Photographs in this album were made in Poland, Czech Republic and Austria, during a 500 km bicycle journey. 4 times as far including distance travelled by train ;)
USA photo album
Photo album from my recent trip to USA.
Terminator 3D model v3.1
With over 19 000 downloads so far, the free Terminator 3D model is certainly the most popular item on this site. This is a small maintenance release featuring some new detail around the skull and eye animation fix. Don't forget to report if something is not working - I may find the time to fix it :)
Philip Marlowe in The Healthy Lifestyle
A short noir comic parody featuring detective Marlowe – a wisecracking, hard drinking, tough private eye adored by women. I was planning to make a full sized album and painted this to prepare, to find out if I can make it looking noir and how much time will it take. I like the result, but I also realized I won't find the time and courage necessary to do the whole thing. At least not until I retire ;)
The joke is very hermetic and I expect very few people being able to understand it completely, many may find it strange and/or not funny. Everyone can appreciate the pictures though :)
Terminator: Christmas Day
Infiltrating a resistance bunker ain't easy. The entrance is camouflaged, protected by magnetic minefields, fortified checkpoints, vigilant guards and trained dogs. However, observations proved that at one particular night humans will let in anyone (or anything) dressed in red robes, wearing elderly beard and carrying a big sack.
Merry Christmas!
High school drawings archive
I decided to publish an archive of pencil drawings I made in high school (yes, in the classrooms and no, it wasn't a school of art – just usual boring kind of school). It's full of dragons, goblins, undead, knighs, robots, aliens and other things you draw when you are a teenager, with an exception of cars and naked women. If you like pencil sketches, fantasy and sci-fi characters and creatures, then you should find this category entertaining, otherwise it might be better to ignore.
There are 2 albums: one with standalone drawings, the other with comics. Be warned though - the comics were drawn spontaneously, without any script or plan, so don't have too high expectations. Just enjoy :)
Lithuania photo album
Photographs taken during holidays in Lithuania. I visited this country twice this summer - first time on a bike trip, second time on a canoeing rally.
Terminator: Head Hit
A 6 second clip where Terminator gets hit with a plasma projectile in the head. The animation is lousy (only the head is moving, which looks pretty awkward), because it was supposed to be only a generic VFX test. I'm pretty pleased with the result, so I added some background and sound and decided to publish it.
This is my first project in After Effects. Next one will be better, I promise ;)
Check out more content in the Terminator: Head Hit album.
T-800 Skull Modified
A modified T-800 skull for my T-800 Endoskeleton model. It has additional detail and a few modifications, making it suitable for close up shots and CPU manipulation animations (the CPU port has a removable cover). It wasn't made by me, I host it thanks to courtesy of Don Jones.
If anyone out there did work on any of my 'opensource' models, please share them for the benefit of all 3d artists and terminator fans :) If you can't host them, I can do it for you.
Guestbook
In addition to public comments in the gallery, I decided to add a guestbook. Please leave public comments, suggestions and compliments (criticism, in reasonable degree, is welcome too ;).
Budapest photo album
A collection of photographs made in Budapest between Christmas and New Year's Eve. Days are very short and nights are very long at this time of the year, so most are night photos.
The Vitruvian Dragonfly
This is a logo made for a kayak group called 'Dragonflies'. It's not my design and I don't exactly get the symbolism. My understanding doesn't go beyond a dragonfly holding a paddle :)
There is a slight chance it's going to be actually used.
Photo gallery
There is a new category in the gallery designed for photo albums. Watching photos from someone else's holidays or events can be extreamly boring, so I promise to resist the temptation and publish only a few best ones :)
The first album holds a collection of some of my nicer photos from last year. I made them on my trips to Berlin, Prague and while skiing in Italy. There are also some pictures from my home and it's surroundings (Warsaw). Enjoy.
Disappointed Devil
After reading numerous tutorials and many failed attempts I've finally finished my first painting ever. I'm not particularly happy with the lighting and effects, but it's the first time computer doesn't calculate those for me :).
Also see an animation showing different painting stages - it's cooler than the final picture itself.
Turtle3D - fractal generator
A Java3D application developed for my master thesis. It allows to generate 3D fractals defined with formal grammars (L-Systems or Language-restricted IFS) using turtle graphics. OpenGL/DirectX visualization is available for preview. Generated objects can be exported and used in popular 3D packages (3D Studio Max, Maya, Blender, etc.).
Turtle3D is suitable for making trees and plants, you can also create classic fractal shapes (like Sierpinski Pyramid) and other abstract fractal structures. See the gallery.
This project is available under GNU General Public License v2.0.
Ghol
Ghol drawing made in GIMP. Inspired by Myth The Fallen Lords game.
Comments and user registration is back
I have installed captcha plugin that will (hopefully) keep viagra and porn advertising bots at bay. Gallery guests can now comment pictures, but they need to prove they're humans first ;) Registered users are tested only upon registration.
You are all encouraged to view, comment and rate all picutures in the gallery!
Black Panther
My album of tattoos that haven't been tattooed is growing. People change their minds when the drawing is ready. I can't blame them, I wouldn't tattoo on myslef any of those things either :)
Other drawings
RSS Feed
RSS feed added to the news page. Keep track of all those great things I post here once in a while ;)
Fractal catagory in gallery
Album category for 3d fractals. New fractal plants and some other objects.
Apple Trees
Apple trees added to Fractal Trees album.
Fractal Trees
L-System fractal trees for my master's thesis. Right now only oaks, but more will come ;)
The geometry was made with Turtle3D, a 3d fractal application I'm developing for my graduation work. Rendering done in 3d Studio Max.
Chain Daemon
A serie of pictures made from an interesting, accidentally generated 3d fractal shape. To me it looks like a strange creature made of chains.
The geometry was made with Turtle3D, a 3d fractal application I'm developing for my graduation work. Rendering done in 3d Studio Max.
News section
Webpage is reogranized, news section added. I'm very happy with the number of visits I get, but looking at the logs I came to a conclusion that some cool stuff is often ignored. I hope it's just not advertised well enough :)
Starship 3D model
Free 3dsmax model of a huge, interstellar starship. No textures, all details are 3 dimentional (consists of 3643 objects).
See it in the gallery
Beholder 3D model
Free 3dsmax model of Beholder, inspired by Doom's Cacodemon. Comes textured and with some facial animation. Skin bumps and details done with normal maps.
See it in the gallery
Terminator: Getting Drunk
A photomanipulation where me and T-800 drink wine. 4 pictures, the best one is I think terminator laying drunk on the table.
AHK 3D model
Aerial Hunter Killer model, as seen in 'Terminator 2'. Ready for animation. It has animatable landing gear, searchlights, gun and engines.
See it in the gallery
Terminator 3D model
A complete high resolution T-800 endoskeleton model for 3D Studio Max 7 (also mesh in wavefront file format). Rigged and ready for animation. Consists of 683117 faces in 867 objects. Comes with simple fatigued metal material. It's free.
All my terminator releated projects can be found here (10 albums so far).
A multiplayer RPG game, with simple but nice bitmap graphics, where players can walk around a map, pick up items, open doors, switch switches and fight with each other. Fights are solved with an unique RPG system of my design (SYSTEM®).
The Dock Movie
A one minute long film that took months to make. Aerial Hunter Killer boots up and leaves it's underground dock for a mission.
Best animation I've made. It's got a fun project page on Terminator Files.
Terminator: On Guard
A short animation with terminator standing on guard in a foggy environment. An early try-out.
Home page online
This is a page about 3D graphics and Java programming. It's supposed to be my portfolio.
