These animations need Apple Quicktime.

Demonstration looped short animations running on Alioscopy 3d "glasses-free"
stereoscopic eight view displays.

The iceberg animation was created for the bathroom entry area in a glityz Las Vegas dance club....

To see a simulation of the 3d effect, also check out some animated GIFs showing
a single frame as would be seen by moving your head/
point of view is in this blog post of mine.

The wallpaper background image I created using 3d scans of lemons and rendered them in MentalRay....

Product introduction                duration 3 minutes 11 seconds

A short animated piece explaining to potential customers a
functionally complex product. The client described what he needed
to tell, and based on those "bullet points", I provided a storyboard.
The client then came back with a script , which I edited into the version below.
(The piece was designed to run well on YourTube too - check it out here).

The animation was based on a shorter low-budget animation targeting potential
investors, rather than potential customers. (That piece in its entirety is featured
in the showreel below).

Client: G. Scott Hubbard, Director, NASA Ames

Deliverable: Six minute animation, which, along with selected sections,
was used in presentations, on websites, and on broadcast television

NASA Ames Center Director Scott Hubbard had a challenging task - to
explain to capitol hill budgetary committees why putting a door on a jumbo jet
so a telescope could be aimed through its side was so expensive, and scientifically
a good thing, especially given NASA already had another functionally similar telescope
mounted in a spacecraft. In six minutes, this soundless animation, with voiceover
provided in person by the presenter, gives the viewer a very good idea of the engineering complexity
of the door, justifies the telescope relative to the space mounted one, and provides the scientific basis
of the need for the telescope, which includes a visually-based introduction to quantum physics....

Elements of this animation then were then re-used for public outreach programs at NASA,
including broadcast television press releases, and use on NASA websites.

By using computer animation, the original CAD data (from Pro-Engineer) was repurposed
to make the visualization model - this turned out to be very labor intensive however, as
the transfer software was in its infancy. This process, however, made the visualization
completely accurate and detailed. The other benefit of using computer animation rather than
photographs was that the telescope could be shown in pseudo x-ray, to show its underlying function,
and it was easy to view the telescope from angles that would be very difficult or impossible to achieve in "real life".

And the explanation of the quantum physics of light in the latter half of the animation benefitted from using
s computer animations, as the objects shown are sub-microscopic in size, and thus otherwise impossible to see.

Web landing page loop: fluid simulation           duration 12 seconds
I've spent a lot of time getting up to speed
with Realflow, and have some nice folio work
partially completed: but this was a stock piece
which I did the looping only on it.

Technical animation: dental morphology A            duration 3 minutes 20 seconds

iThis rather dry technical animation had very specific client
direction and requirements, and is used as part of a lecture
series for working dentists. It was based on an accurate
laser scan of the teeth. I've had over ten years experience
with various 3d scanning technologies, including various
laser scanners, contact scanners, and photogrammetry.
