BIO-HAZARD
Born in King's Cross,NSW Australia. My parent's were German and split up when I was 12 months old, unfortunately my Father died young, so what ! . I have liked drawing & painting for-ever. When I saw an Amiga 500 with a ray-traced juggler, I was hooked !!! I left High School then joined a Rock'n'Roll band and toured the East Coast of OZ as Road crew. Then I played Lead & Rhythm guitar in my own band's, EASTERN UNDERGROUND(Sydney), FLASHBACK (Noosa), SAXON DOG"S & STEEL RAIN (Gold Coast). I worked as a Cameraman at the Gold Coast Turf Club. And a lot of my "in-between" footage got beamed all over the Planet on Sky Channel, So if you're ever are in a TAB (betting agency Oz style) and see pic's of cloud's, pelican's or chick's tit's then you'll know, it was my footage !  I won a $5,000 scholarship for 3D Animation, at Silicon Studio's Training Center-Brisbane. Did a Multi-Media course at Kingscliff TAFE. Lightwave 8.5 is my choice of weapon, with Poser 6, Vue 6 Extreme and Zbrush 3. One day I will be doing 3D for a living...I hope ! You will find, that most of my art has a weird and twisted sense of humour to it, life's pretty straight without 'twisties' !Â
...Cheers fellow artists...Jeff :o)
UP-DATE:2011...WOOHOO...I made piccy of the day at E-on (Vue) and I'm stoked, my experimentation, persistance and learning new techniques paid off.

Anybody interested in commissioned works or a position in 3D art and animation...I'm your man !

Jeff, not many people would understand the level of technical skill that this requires; the rigging and animation shown here is a testament to the exponential level of modeling, character animation and lightwave skills that you have learned - this is some seriously amazing work man! I am in awe- complete awe! Absolutely incredible!!
sessan53
wow.... excellent. I dont know how you did this... but I understand that is difficult. So you did a very great work here. And I will wish you and yours a wonderful and healthy happy new year. And I look forward to see your beautiful work in 2008:-)hugs sessan

LOL ... looks like Tugga knows how to party ... at least he didn't lose any teeth when he crashed. Well done Jeff. And Happy New Year!

Cool work!! Wish we could have seen it in full color.... Least he didn't have far to fall....

looks real --as if taken by a spy cam...great work on this little beast...and fitting the 512kb limit is why many of my animations are bare bones..but I guess it's good to have discipline and create around it..great work,congrats !

I'd have to agree with jdehaven here, I've tried my hand at both rigging and animation with limited success, and I'd say you've done a bang up job on both here! I too, am in awe... Animation is a hard bug to get over though, even though it's 10 times the work! And let me know if you come across any innovative ways to get the colour in and stay under the 512k limit, I'd love to know myself!

Tugga's gonna' have one nasty hangover. You did a great job on this animation. CC
prionbrain
Very very cool!!! I hadn't noticed before that it got 3 pairs of legs!!! Sweet!!! Cheers!!!:))

what can I say, Jeff amazing work! The model of Tugga itself is ingenious (for the Marketplace? ;-) and the animation is just great. Happy new year to Brisbane, bro! Cheers, Rey

This is so spiffy! He is wonderful and has a face only a mother could love, but with a good Orthodontist he could be cute. I have no idea what you did or what rigging is, I've only done simple Quicktime animation, but it obviously is complicated. You have done a marvelous work on Tugga! Excellent

The alcohol gave him a great burst of energy and everyone loses their footing sometimes. This actually reminds me of a tumble I took the other day so I have sympathetic feelings for Tugga. Super work with your animation even if you did have to reduce it down to fit. Hope you had a great new years eve.

I love the low color palette, gives it that dark alley, harsh lighting look. Really awesome critter but not one I'd care to meet in person. Thanks for scaring me this holiday :p
annika_marie

Steff_7
