Revamped Website Launched

[oz]

Just launced my revamped website earlier this week with new 3D works and some free custom Darktree shaders.

Check it out at www.3dgraphicsoutpost.com or www.oliverzeller.com

Oz,
Nice site! I will definitely be checking out the dark tree shaders, I hope the dust shader will integrate with my pavement shader. The site design is very clean and fresh, great work. Is the other portion of your work stage design and setup? I really think theater gets some great low tech effects, I will check it out better when I have a little more time! Thanks for the link.

Thanks. I'm especially seeking ideas and suggestions on the Darktree dust shader. If you do any alterations, please forward it to me too... It's still quite experimental, but I think it has a ton of potential.

No, I've never handled stage design, though I certainly have an interest in production design in general. The Madonna project was the first concert I've worked on and the stage was determined by the concert director. Just had to tailor a room to work with the stage according to the Concert Director and Art Director. I personally would've handled a few things differently and it was overly sparse, wanted to do much more with the oculus, but time didn't permit it and on stage it works quite well. Plus simplicity needed to be maintained anyway so as not to overshadow Madonna herself.

You make a good point though with theater, I tend to overlook it, but I'm reminded of Director/Designer Julie Taymor's stage work, The Lion King, etc. or the impressive Saigon stage...

I will try to take a look at the 'Dust' shader this weekend if time allows. I am not sure if in TS I can handle a third DarkTree channel, time to do some experimentation, mind as well try it on my current project.

Yes I agree there are some real talented stage designers and theater WOW's me because the props have to me mobile from scene to scene!
