For of you may be curious why this sudden change, my blog service provider has announced that it's FTP Publishing will no longer be supported after 1 May, 2010. Therefore, I migrated my blog over to this subdomain. In my opinion, Blogger has done well in easing the migration process by providing a FTP Migration Tool.
With this, I'm sure I'll have to make more changes to this website over the next month to ensure everything works smoothly.
Thank you for updating your feeds and bookmarks!
Cheers!

Here's a list of the best places to study 3D animation in the world. This ranking table is from 3D World's 98th issue.
1 Supinfocom 2 Filmakademie Baden-Wuertemmberg 3 Gobelins, L’école de l’image 4 Ringling College of Art and Design 5 Vancouver Film School 6 Ecole National Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs 7 Royal College of Art 8 Bournemouth University, NCCA 9 University of Southern California 10 Sheridan College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning 11 CalArts School of Film/Video 12 National Film and Television School 13 Ecole Emile Cohl 14 Savannah College of Art and Design 15 School of Visual Arts 16 University of Wales 17 Ecole Supérieure des Métiers Artistiques 18 University of Teesside 19 RMIT Univeristy 20 Rhode Island School of Design
I've got friends studying in Supinfocom and Ringling and I'm so happy for them!
I have been to Gobelins before and hence I'm so happy and excited for them to be amongst the top three! Gobelins, L’école de l’image has a superb learning environment, teaching force, and technical assistance such that I could focus thouroughly on character animation!
I have also always been very impressed by student works from Ecole Emile Cohl (EEC). It goes to show that these 20 schools listed are really of superb quality!
I hope one day Nanyang Polytechnic's School of Interactive and Digital Media can be amongst these! Jiayou! (;

This is the planning for a secret animation sequence. It's an easter egg on this website. ;P It's done sometime ago already and I thought I'll just upload the thumbnail stage here. Cheers! :D
This is a long outdated video which I prepared almost 2 years ago. It's not fully meant to be a tutorial hence the fast foward, but it'll be great if anyone finds this useful :P
I was modelling a basic 3D bird in Maya for a short film production I did in school called Gan Cheong Kin (GCK) Season 3.
It's kept really basic because of the style of the film, but it can be brought futher for zbrushing or mudboxing. The model is available from the free downloads section
3D Shading, Lighting and Rendering I did for my friend, Ling Wei. He is really passionate about 3D modelling. If I'm not wrong, this is his first 3D car model!
It's impressive, right? :D
I was trying to achieve a basic studio shoot rendering. It's a pity I do not have nice images or HDRIs to do a photo realistic composite. Hope you'll like it Ling Wei!
