New Media Chinese Art from Yang Yongliang

How do you update an ancient art tradition? With Photoshop, of course. New media artist Yang Yongliang was classically trained in Chinese painting and calligraphy from a very young age but uses digital tools to capture that time-tested aesthetic. View the amazing results in the video above.

Shanghai-based artist Yang Yongliang has taken the eyes and heart of the more traditional Chinese landscape and calligraphy, and invested it with the expressive ability of the newest technology and techniques, including digital manipulation, video and photography.

"As long as the characteristics don't change, the media you use to express the art doesn't matter."

​I think these landscapes in Chinese Porcelain are pretty amazing, and I am absolutely in love with the video landscapes.

Virtual Motion Sculptures of Street Fighter 2 Movements

Thanks for watching my animation! I did it in order to teach myself Cinema 4D and Vray in my spare time, the renders aren't perfect but the best I could get out of my machine. While I setup up most of the geometry using tracers, Xpresso and Thinking Particles, I had some help along the way from the following great resources... I edited the motion captures from this archive >>> https://sites.google.com/a/cgspeed.com/cgspeed/motion-capture and used Microsoft Kinect for some parts aswell I tweaked the character models from >>> http://thefree3dmodels.com/ Sound effects we're mostly sourced from >>> www.freesound.org And the music is obviously from Capcom's Street Fighter 2, play it here >>> https://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/street-fighter-ii-collection/id459660048?mt=8 If you like this, then checkout the original & far superior Quayola and Memo 'Forms' >>> https://vimeo.com/37967381 Peace!
