A Little Bit of Style for Your Monday Morning

Thought I’d share this little gem I found in my travels through the interweb, very cool piece done using some 3D tied to Grafitti.  Enjoy!

Starting to Feel UnrealEd Again!

Well I’m starting to feel like the UnrealEd skills are flooding back.  They changed up some of the ways things are done in UnrealEd 3 but it’s not real far off.  Continued learning on weekends/evenings/lunches will get me back to a point where I can help lead a team to do some kickass level design and maybe get a little bit of recognition for all parties involved.  Some stuff I really enjoy doing. 

Anyone interested in possibly helping out with a team of designers/developers on creating some Unreal content hit me up at architect@mudbrickcreative.com.  Enthusiasts welcome.

One More Piece of Inspiration

On a day full of inspiration I thought I’d add just a little bit more. This CGT piece was done by a designer out of Azerbaijan and I just thought it had to get a little more pimping because it is Fan-Freakin-Tastic. Be sure to watch this one beginning to end, you will be amazed one guy can direct, CG, Effects and render this stuff himself.  105 days of work and worth every minute!

Creative Inspirtation

I personally love when I get to see a company do incredibly creative work and deliver visuals that even I can’t figure out how the hell they did it.  In this demo reel by one of the best visual effects companies in the world we get to see a montage of some of the most impressive and stylistic creative work I’ve seen in a while.  Be sure to watch it the whole way through, truly impressive stuff.

MudBrick Creative Delivers for 6 Month Smiles

One of our latest projects to hit the creative afterburner has been 6MonthSmiles.com.  Six Month Smiles™ is an alternative to the usual metal braces used to fixing miss-aligned teeth.  Six Month Smiles™ utilizes clear braces to gently straighten teeth in an average time of only six months! By focusing on the teeth that show when you smile and not making significant bite changes, your dentist can comfortably straighten your teeth and give you the attractive, pleasant smile you've always wanted.

MudBrick has been contracted to deliver a new and more progressive site design in addition to content management and some custom application development. 

MudBricks content management platform 4Site (http://www.4sitecms.com) will be used to deliver the content management piece of the project.  4Site is a Microsoft .NET CMS that is modular in design and provide contextual editing of content.

The project has already gotten very good reviews from 6 Month’s users and they have been getting tons of traffic since launch.  The company is also expanding and hiring new staff to deal with demand.  Awesome stuff!

Very Cool Video Effect

Just thought I’d share these with everyone.  A unique style of video production using what looks like a combination of stop motion and multi track camera’s with some CGI to get a very stylistic look.  Totally awesome stuff and worthy of a blog post to show off what could be a very unique replacement for the old school Bullet Time.

Now This is Sexy

This application requires a facebook login to get into.  You realize after you login why that is, the video is composited from facebook profile info on the fly from your profile.  Very cool use of technology and cross promotion with Facebook may start to be much more common.

Definitely check this out.

Some Friday Coolness and Ninja's to Boot

Just saw the trailer for this new flick in some Comic Con articles.  This one is by the brothers who brought us the Matrix flicks and looks pretty sweet so I thought I’d pass it along.  Also you’ll see the movie poster for it which I’ll be adding to the wall next to my desk at some point for sure.

I'm Nostalgic, What Can I Say?

I know a lot of people are probably shaking their heads and wondering why anyone would go to the live action GI Joe flick.  Well I’m here to say I’ll be there when it opens.  I grew up on GI Joe as a kid and as an adult, anything that takes you back is a good thing usually.  Just to share some of what may be at the same time the cheesiest and coolest flick of the year, here’s the latest trailer.

MudBrick's Upgrading it's Look

Look for a new look from MudBrick early next week.  Our new site is still in production but we have a very sexy interim taste for everyone that will go live early next week.  In the meantime I thought I’d share a blog design we did during our initial blog redesign phase that was hot but maybe a little too edgy for some of our customers.  Still we like to show some style every once in a while. 

Don’t be surprised if this one winds up being this designers new blog when time permits… J

Troeg's Concept That Didn't Make the Grade

Thought I’d share some design coolness that didn’t get chosen by the customer but would have been a different flavor for their new site either way.  This design would have been a one-page site (vertical scrolling) using JavaScript to scroll between nav sections and subnav content.  This would have been a very unique build for us using our CMS 4Site (http://www.4sitecms.com) compared to other sites we’ve developed. 

The customer was torn between this style design and the one they chose which is awesome! Our team totally crushed this project and left nothing on the table.  Looking forward to delivering it possibly before end of month.

Impressive Use of 3d Engine in FLash

Some very cool demo work here of Alternativa 3d Flash engine.  We are getting closer and closer to the possibility of real time 3d rendered interactive environments and possibly FPS games in the browser window that will work at a reasonable framerate.

Our Design Pimped

One of our design wizards just brought to my attention that the design we did for the Harrisburg BarCamp has some primary placement on the Axis Apparel website.  We did two separate shirt designs for this event and both are in their samples gallery.  Both came out cool but pricey using Axis for the screen printing.
