Welcome!

    This is the website of Adrian Bell! I work as a shader writer for Framestore in London.

    This site will gradually be filled with bits and pieces that I've created while I haven't been in the office!

    Website updates within three months of each other? What on earth is going on?

    Well I'm glad to say I've completed another little mini-project. I've written my own little global illumination ray tracer! Lots of fun to make, and I learned loads in the process. I've written up some results so why no pop over to my graphics section and have a quick read?



1st October 2011

    Nine months have past which means an update was due! I've recently (finally!) completed a little Renderman personal project and have attempted to write it up in the graphics section of my site. For people in the know it may not seem like much but I found it fun! Take a peek!



1st January 2011

    To start off the productive new year, I've added a new 'Graphics' section to my website! Check out the link above! I've put four little things on there already, and hope to add more in the near future. They were all written in between 2002 and 2010, and are essentially just 'code doodles' written in Java!

    You'll notice that there's a Mandelbrot fractal in there as well. Originally I wrote this in javascript with an aim to have the thing accessible to absolutely anyone (sorry Java). Alas, I wasn't happy with the results it was giving me (inconsistant number-handling across different browsers... it was weird). Given the circumstances I decided to give Processing a go!

    Processing turned out to be pretty cool. It's essentially a load of extra libraries for Java and a decent development environment. All it does is make life very easy for prototyping graphicy ideas. I recommend you check it out, it's friendly and (very importantly) the documentation's great.



9th November 2010

    I finally finished my "Dollar Koi Fish" as designed by Won Park. Take a peek in the 'Artwork' section!



4th October 2009

    Added a new painting to the 'Artwork' section! Also trying to work out exactly what I'd need to do to set up some sort of photoblog. Much reading ahead...



16th August 2009

    I've just added an 'Artwork' section to my site, check the menu up the top! Whenever I've felt creative enough to throw paint on canvas, these have been the results.

    I'm also planning to add some photography, graphics work and maybe even some codey stuff... It'll take time, but I'll get there!



2nd August 2009

    So I've finally re-designed my site! Yes! It's actually happened! For the first time in six years!!! Not only has there been a re-design, but I've been wanting to make the content more relevant to what I do now (rather than having it filled with ancient shockwave work!)

    It'll be big haul, but I'll be adding to it whenever I can! For now, take a peek at my latest showreel, and check back soon for more!
