March 17, 20103D architectural model and flythrough animation of the entrance room to the Cork Institute of Technology library building.
Modelled and animated in 3d studio max. Rendered using Vray.
The model is accurate, based on original building blueprints and photographs.
March 11, 2010I’m going to start posting some useful little bits of code up here as i think of them.
This is partly to help with my exceptionally poor memory, and partly to help out anyone who might be interested. I encourage anyone else who knows of some similar little helpful tips to send them to me and i’ll post them up here.
Ok, so here’s a nice simple one to start off. What’s an easy and simple method to determine if a number is odd or even?
The answer lies with the modulo operator (%) or the bitwise AND operator (&).
1 | i%2 |
Whatever i is, i%2 will evaluate to either 0 or 1.
Or a faster method for determining odd or even numbers would be the Bitwise AND operator (represented by a single ampersand: &):
1 | i&1 |
So what use is this?

January 27, 2010Flock is an interactive media installation created in 2008 by myself (Eoin Griffin), Gerard Mangan and Catherine Philpott. The aim of Flock was to create an interactive environment in a public space that would encourage social interaction between members of the public, particularly strangers that wouldn’t ordinarily interact.
Flock visual prototype
January 27, 2010Created as part of a GUI studies assigment. The task was to create a prototype interface for an imaginary competitor to the iphone.
All design, image creation and coding was implemented by me (with the exception of the Firefox and RSS logos).
Uses: Actionscript, Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop

For this series, I chose to take several scenes from the story ‘The Little Prince’ (‘Le Petit Prince’ – Original French title) by Antoine de Saint Exupéry. I chose this story because my interests with image creation lean towards image manipulation and this story is a fantasy story that lends itself well to what I wanted to do.

January 27, 2010The work calendar is a personal project of mine. I wanted to create an application that would allow myself and others to easily track work hours from week to week, provide a simple, secure, easy-to-use printable interface and perform some calculations the the average user might want to know (totals, pay rate, tax deductions etc). As well as that, my friends kept losing the pieces of paper they used to write down their hours, so I thought this might help them out.
MySQL provides a powerful and efficient database which makes it easy to store and retrieve the data for each user.
Uses: XHTML(strict), CSS, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, jQuery, AJAX

January 22, 2010Internet Storytime is a project I’m currently involved in as a Flash and Actionscript developer.
The goal of the application is to create a book player that will allow people with little or no Flash scripting skills to easily create children’s storybooks for an online audience.
What makes this player stand apart from a regular book or other online books is its versatility. The IST book player allows a person to easily script text, images with animations and audio in their books to create a unique interactive experience that will help them engage a young audience.
3D character animation
This lip-sync animation was made to match an audio track taken from an interview with ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax.
Created as part of a character animation course during my studies in Darmstadt, Germany.
As part of the same course, we were also asked to express several emotions using the same character.
Those are: Balance, Weight, Aggression and Kindness (image shown below).
I realise that those aren’t exactly emotions… but nevertheless, here they are:
