Scott Squires’s VFX Blog

Monday, April 13th, 2009

I came across Scott Squire’s blog while looking for more information about the VFX budgeting process.

He’s an effects veteran whose first job off the bat was designing the cloud tank effect for Close Encounters.

His blog is a mix of insightful podcasts/transcripts on a wide variety of Visual Effects related material, as well as some shot breakdowns for work he’s done.

Just read a bit so far, gonna read more of it when I’m more awake.

Reference for Everything!

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Just some useful resources I’ve come across.. Currently working on my character in ZBrush, so all this is immensely valuable for getting the right look.

Huge reference dump at Polycount

Many thanks to the good people at Polycount for this amazingly comprehensive list of reference sites. I’ve come across some of these myself but seen altogether in one page they’re just staggering..

Noadi’s Resources for Figure Artists is a great figure drawing focused resource site. In addition to the usual sites are gems like links to diverse stock collections on DeviantArt as well as two figure drawing books by George Bridgeman.
