CG Artists

Artist Ray Keim has eerily modeled both the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Haunted Mansions in fiendish detail. More than this, he is creating downloadable paper models for your ghoulish delight. Yes, Ray, it's time for a paper model of the Disneyland Pirates!

Mr. Toad lives! Spencer Cook is bringing back to life the extinct Walt Disney World attraction, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. There is wonderful whimsy here, but hold on to your hats!

EPCOT Center, in its entirety! With special emphasis devoted to the Horizons Pavilion, one of the greatest attractions ever. Modeler Jason, of Deep Water Studios, is doing terrific work!

Tomorrowland's Adventure Thru Inner Space was one of the most imaginative attractions ever seen, anywhere. I was lucky enough to go through the shrinking process, before this great ride disappeared in 1985. Steve Wesson has incredibly recreated ATIS, and offers a DVD so we can all ride it again. Great going, Steve!

The CG modelers listed above may not know it, but they were all influential in getting me started on my project. Thanks, Mateys!

Prepare for zero-g. This is an ultra-cool model of Disneyland's Space Mountain, including high-speed ride-thru videos. So fasten yer ruddy seatbelts!

Joe Cardello- a.k.a. Datameister- has done extensive research into the little-seen backstage areas of Disneyland and is modeling the park in remarkable detail. His blog is a fascinating look at a Disneyland we seldom see!

Ben the "Ghost Host" is a fellow Blender artist who has a very cool website with lots of Disney Resort videos. Like me, he's knew to 3-D, so it will be very interesting to see what creations he comes up with.

Here's a cornucopia of fun Disney related projects.

Captain Nemo's fantastic submarine-boat Nautilus, by Goff! (That's Harper Goff, of course.) Most everything you ever wanted to know about this beautiful 19th-century vision of the future.

"Mobilis in Mobile."

Denis Dlugas has a great idea: design, imagineer and build- at least in the virtual world- a Disneyland for Canada! See his ideas at his blog, and listen to some Disney tunes while you're there!

3-D

The BendInTheRiver model is being generated with Blender, the open-source suite for 3-D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation, and playback. It is available for download, free-of-charge, for all major operating systems.

Here's a great site devoted to Blender users. There are tutorials for learning how to use Blender. On the discussion boards, ask questions, talk to other artists, view their work, and display your own. This is where I started.
