Well all of the changes and small renders are finished on the reception hall. Now I'm working on 3 poster sized renders of it. At nearly 7 million polys cutting the scene in half and rendering in strips still wasn't enough so I bought more RAM. That should make things easier.

Photographs are just about done now, just waiting for final approval. They were shot for the Comcast Center in Philadelphia, of their "The Market" underground, high end, shopping plaza. The people who ran the shops were extremely nice to me and gracious. A couple were even happy to pose a second time when I needed to do a reshoot. As a side benefit the restaurant owners kept giving me free food! lol

Possibly coming up soon a project involving Dee Snider of Twister Sister.

Almost a year after doing that reception hall that's in the 3D Gallery I've been asked to make some changes to it. So that's what I'm up to now.

Current project with Epic Studios seems wrapped up. Tomorrow I'm going to shoot some pictures for a local client's new website.

Got a call from IGN.com yesterday asking to use my Nintendo DS 2 renders in an article. Of course I said they could.

Here's the article:

Also I am starting a new gig with Epic Studios tomorrow.

I've added 8 new photos to the Photography section of the site. They're not exactly new though, I shot them in college around 1996-1997. The majority were shot with a 4x5 large format view camera. The Gravestone and Camden shots were shot on 35mm film.

I'm working on a new personal project. Starting with this Starbucks building in Shinjuku-ku

If you're reading this you're looking at the new design for my site. I hope you enjoy and please let me know if you find any bugs, I will try to squash them as quickly as possible. phil@philnolan3d.com
