Neptune CGI Chameleon
Posted on January 6, 2012
Advertising agency, Partners Andrew Aldridge got in touch with our agent Jelly to create a realistic 3D Chameleon. We developed the character as a high resolution sculpt in Autodesk’s Mudbox, normal-mapped it down to an animation-friendly model and hooked it up to a custom-built creature rig within 3Ds Max. We used the high-end rendering power of V-Ray to bring out the detail and realism of the model. Neptune’s chameleon will feature across digital platforms, print and outdoor, including some Taxi sides and internal display:

Apologies for not posting in a while… WAP has been a hive of activity over the past month – can’t say too much yet, but more news and previews will follow shortly.
In the meantime, we are pleased to introduce you to our new PseudoTrooper: Mr Kemp. As a long time WAP friend and collaborator, we are excited to finally be able to shout about Mr Kemp’s fantastic illustration work right here on our website.
Here’s a little further info on the knitwear-obsessed artist:
David Kemp (otherwise known as ‘Mr Kemp’ to his friends) is a Portsmouth-based Illustrator who produces hand-drawn and digitally coloured artwork in a bright and friendly ‘children’s book’ style.
He studied Animation at The Bournemouth & Poole College of Art and Design where he made three short films, all of which were well received at festivals and screenings around the world. This led to working in Devon as a Storyboard and Layout Artist on various animated TV series for kids – including ‘Wolves, Witches and Giants’ narrated by Spike Milligan.
Since returning to Portsmouth he has concentrated mainly on his own illustration work. To date he has produced all manner of posters, leaflets, illustrations for websites and exhibition catalogues plus both packs of the ‘Challenge Me! Activity Cards’ for Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
Oh, and he recently won our WAP tshirt competition… Tees available soon!
