mondayMAKINGS #5 ~3D Chair design & rendering~

Maybe you didn't notice it, but last week the mondayMAKINGS had to be skipped. =/
Having some exams in college next week, I'm kinda busy I have to admit...

But today I'll give out a quick post nonetheless. The following picture is a simple rendering exercise I did for a Cinema4D course about 2 years ago. It was all 3d-built, formed, textured, lighted and rendered with Cinema4D R11.
Hardest part was forming the cushions, so they look as if someone sat on the chair before... but it was fun!
I love working with C4D. Visualizations are my favourite part of working on an architecture design. ^^

Tiki's DIYary #3 ^-^...today : ~~ "Good Morning, Mr.Magpie" Bag ~~

Say hello to Mr.Magpie!
. . . I'm really excited to present my third  Making-Of to you guys! *yay* ^^

This time I tried something else and am not un-proud to upload my first DIYary VIDEO! . . . ;)

As in the last DIYary, it shows the steps from a plain blanco cotton bag, to a unique accessory tote,

that you can even purchase in my shop !!! =D)

Hope you will enjoy. . . 

(and maybe feel inspired to try it yourself, when you see how easy it is;)

qick HUEsday ...sketching CI colors

aaaannnd. . . it's tueHUEsday again!
Man, how fast this week faded away. So much do-tos for college.
But . . . take this quick titbit of palette making from today's REviving my Colourlovers.com account

Started a tumblr microblog last week. . .
rather a personal virtual refugium for visualizing my dream of a life (to be) . . .
Maybe the universe will start turning spirits towards removing the barriers on my path to reach that dream. . .if only I visualize it often and stern enough ;b

Anyways: these were my color choices for the layout. Liked them enough to make a palette. . .

What do you think of it?! =)

mondayMAKINGS #4 ~Urban planning research video~

Hey folks. . . today was reeeeaaally one of those days. . . X(

I don't want to get to much into this, but the reason for my bad day was not so much the task itself, that I had to finish for a presentation, but some technical problems.After 5h of working on a video we have to present on Wednesday (about a random city trip we had to do in groups, researching an area and stuff) the Movie Maker program hung itself due to my excessive cutting. . .
Having no choice but to restart the laptop, I found the file "broken" when I tried to open it again. . .
All self reminders for saving every other minute were useless... the well saved file couldn't be opened anymore.

-___-' yay!!!

BUT, I pulled myself together and did it all again. . .

Therefore, it's the simplest logical conclusion now, to take the finished mini-movie 

- even though it looks rather like 12minutes, than 12hours of work - 

and post it here in the mondayMAKINGS today.

. . .Because it IS a HOLE MONDAYS work. . .

(P.S.: brief ad(d) - all songs used in the video are written and recorded by my little brother's one-man-band project. . .credits below)

Just a quick warning: since I was limited to a 3minutes presentation by the professor's order, the following footage might cause dizziness or epileptic fit
