we recently premiered a 1 minute and a half teaser trailer of omega at the blender conference. everything, from CG to photographic elements, was composited together and edited in blender.
the responses just blew me away. needless to say we’re going to publish the trailer online on our blog very soon! done!
after many requests, i would like to publish the file i created at my blender conference modeling session. i’m quite happy how it turned out, considering that i always find it difficult to talk while creating something decent to look at… previous conference models of mine always turned out less than satisfactory. that’s why i deliberately kept this one very simple and stylized to focus on shape and design, rather than technical stuff, while still conveying some of the technical decisions necessary in the modeling process.

Creature Factory has evolved in many different ways since my earliest sketches roughly eight months ago. Even though its main production period was only about two weeks - resulting in roughly 40 hours of captured material - it had to appear as if it could’ve been part of something bigger.
So I kept onadding and adding stuff, until it became too complicated and literally turned into this huge monster… And then when Project Peach started I couldn’t finish it anymore.
Most recently I had a look through the original first 40 hours and realized that by themselves, they already conveyed what I wanted to show in the first place - without all the unnecessary extra pieces I prefer to treat separately in a more elaborate way later on.
On the disc you will find everything I created for the Creature Factory teaser. The 40 hours have been sped up and commented. There are also some extra tutorials to document the techniques used more in-depth. Of course you also get all the blender files, textures and steps saved in the process.
I hope you find it useful, enjoy!

Looks pretty exciting from what I’ve seen so far. Way to go. Andy still has some DVD authoring to do, we will try to keep you updated here.
