Logo in chains

JEH Designs logo in chains.  I modeled two chain links in 3ds max and used Element 3D to replicate them into a full chain that would go around the logo.  The simple fence and padlock were also modeled in 3ds max and brought into Element 3D as OBJ files. Watch on Vimeo here.

Knock Knock Who’s There

I wanted to do an animation with a wrecking ball so I decided to use the Knock Knock joke as a starting point.  I didn’t try to make it funny and there wasn’t going to be a punch line, I just wanted a starting point to base the animation on. Watch on Vimeo here.
