1 year down, 1 to go.

So ADA 1 is officially done. Now on to the business of ADA 2 and our individual films. I'm hoping to do the film in Maya and have started tutorials for that reason but we'll see how it goes.

Hopefully I'll be better at updating here over the Summer than I was over the last few months of leading up to the end of the year. For the next update might have a model to display.

For now, some concepts for next years film

Busy busy

Been a crazy few months. Things are really starting to kick into gear with both college and personal/professional work.

And because of that I have a brand new showreel!

Ok, by brand new I mean updated.

I've also been doing alot of sketching and the like lately. Hopefully get some of that scanned in and posted up soon.
Alright back to work I go!

Scarecrow

Got a chance to get a run at the modelling for the Scarecrow. Think he's turned out nicely I have to say.

Just need to make him less symmetrcial and affix him to the body and such.

Then a crash course in Ink & Paint cause I be having trouble with it.

Showreel

Woohoo finally got all my editing and fidgeting around with my showreel done. Looking forward to adding to it (began an 'idle' animation for the thief character in there. Fun and unlike alot of animation I've done. Very subtle) and getting back to editing and fidgeting with it some more!

Here's the YouTube vid for it. Alternatively here's a link to the high quality Vimeo video: http://vimeo.com/19306888

Back to work on my flying animation and the four legged walk!

Re-Cycling

So finally got my ass in gear and re-rendered some animations. Namely the cycles I've done.

first up Run and Walk cycle:

And apparently youtube hates me so here's a direct link to the run cycle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkvE79pQtSQ

And a new one: Sneak Cycle!

Gonna upload these to Vimeo to get better quality.

Walk the Walk

Well I finally got my 'Thief' character finished and rigged. Now to get down to the fun of animating!

First up: Walk Cycle

I'm fairly happy with it... There's something not quite right. I think it's the neck/head. But I'll leave it for now and come back to it.

Livin' in a box, livin' in a 3d box...

Ok, that's a pretty weak title name but that's how I feel. Really gotten back into my 3D work this week after a pretty long hiatus due to college and a dip in motivation.

But I'm back baby, and I changed the model of the crow for our film. Voila:

I also built the rig. Everything's ready to go except IK (he says as if that wasn't the hard part). Here's the rig:

Now on to the next thing I've lost a chunk of my week to: the thief type character. He's done now. Not going to texture him for now cause I wanna get to animating him. Here he is:

And a wireframe

Really looking forward to getting animating with this guy. He's gonna be the model I use primarily for my games animation showreel. Roll on SCRUM list!
