N.A.S.A. Using Richard Kurbis’ Artwork for Articles
NASA Lunar Science Institute has presented an article on bases on Lunar lava tubes.
It features the rendering of a lunar base concept that I had created for the NSS Space Calendar last year (which was not selected, but that ok, lots of great artists)
The article can be seen here: LINK
Astrosynthesis 3 under development
Magnatude 3D, is currently working on 3D Scifi miniatures for NBOS Software’s latest incarnation of Astrosynthesis v3. The current todo list includes classic style “Traveller” RPG starships.
Astro 3, should be available for purchase in mid- 2010, sporting a new database system, and possibly full 3D avatars.
Additional 3D Scifi Starship packages will also be available soon within SciRPG’s online store (also coming online in 2010).
Fastuca video project
After a lengthy week of working out a viable storyline, I managed to hatch out a visual collage and presented the idea to Guitarist/Singer/Song-writer Dan Fastuca. A futuristic fantasy 3D epic for “Out of Time” in my opinion, a very dynamic song which presents a lot of opportunity for great visual emphasis.
Dan has been gracious enough to send me some personal photos and his own ideas that will help flesh out the video concept.
The entire video will be created/rendered within Carrara 6 pro, and models will be imported from truespace 7.6 and Hexagon 2.5. The base for the male/female models will be altered poser/daz-studio figures.
Oh-Bumma!
I’m currently working on an animation side-project using Anime Studio Pro.
“Oh-Bumma!” is a political parody that will feature caricatured political entities around the world. This venture won’t be pro Democrat or Republican, I’ll objectively pick on them both, as well as other Government leaders around the world.
So far I have much of the US Administration heads created and ready for lip-sync animation. I’ll be posting a movie showing how I create Ron Paul’s head in Anime Studio pro.
I’m also looking for voice actors, I need a female voice as well as a male voice, and I’ll be using voice changing software to enhance them into sounding like the real deal.
I have a few scripts evolving and I hope to be able to make this into a monthly feature on the YouTube channel.
