Well, here I am with some R&D. In fact, it’s not even my own R&D, but my friends’ at MotivaCG. They’ve developed an incredible composition plugin for The Foundry Nuke & eyeon Fusion (and whatever composition software that handles OFX format). With it, based on an UNIQUE image, and using its Depth-Of-Field channel, you can get stereoscopic images such as this. I know, you can get this result using several

Here you’ll find a preview of some props from the personal projects I’m currently working on, (or just improving), for several shots of my Demoreel. It is my intention to publish them as a “Finish this once and for all !!!” note to myself. This gallery will be updated as I work on the reel.  

Recently I (as part of The Glow) have finished a 3dsmax Visualization Training Course at Centro Tecnológico FEVAL, in Don Benito. Students have learnt how to use 3D Studio MAX & VRay from scratch (most of them had no experience with 3d software). From modelling, texturing, lighting,….to rendering & doing the post-production of several architectural projects. These are a few photographs with some of the 20 stu

One of those “not-so-typical” works I did at Claroscuro Digital : the restoration of an old hotel, mixing modern decoration with some antique style furniture & stuff. UPDATE 2013: New, updated & improved version. Here you have some frames from the upcoming reel (still in progress) I’m working on it, I promise 😉

But instead of searching for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence, it assists users in creating and managing BOINC project accounts and helps with setting preferences, joining or creating teams, and connecting computers to projects. Pendrives were provided with all the essential

Recently we have finished a videoart piece called Landwine: Captured Nature. It’s a collaborative and creative project betweeen A+i+D Studio (headed by the artist Alfonso Doncel), writer Antonio Sáez Delgado, and The Glow / Claroscuro Digital. It explores the meaning of beauty by relocation. What is beauty? What is art? Can we call something “art” just by moving it from its place and putting it some

After delivering this project for a client with a “clear-blue-sky-shiny-day” finish, I decided to work on the lighting & atmosphere, getting these results. Much better than the version the client wanted, in my humble opinion.

I tend to use my personal projects as an experiment to learn new methods, techniques I still don’t fully understand, or to improve my skills. In this case, the goal was to recreate a photograph I took in 2003, with a 1-megapixel digital camera (not much quality, as you guess). Such place had “something” that inspired me and the photograph had a lighting that I really liked. Unfortunately, the project spent some years

Well, I think every image has its own story behind. So this is the story for my dungeon: Well, I work at home. And my family & friends call my office “The Cave” or “The Dungeon”. And the idea came from that. So I tried to mix both concepts. No matter how cool our office is, or how much do we love our work. All of us feel chained to it, sometimes. All of us have our own prisoner ball (mine
