Animation

These videos are from my Acting and Movement class. It was a fun class and I learned a ton about achieving good animation.

Death Knight

This was done for my character modeling class. I had started it early and we were suppose to turn in a concept sketch of what we were going to do. I had most of this completed by that time, I just rendered out a front, side and 3 quarter view, put those in Inkscape and had it convert those into vector, printed it and done...stylized concept art.






This is the "concept"

Where I've come from

While waiting for my creek scene to render with better grass I was cruising through all of the stuff I've done at the Art Institute over the past three years. I love looking at the old models I did when I first started and to see the vast improvement I've made. I think its good to look back and reflect on what has transpired because then I know I've come from somewhere.

KFC Raptor

Final project for hard surface and organic modeling is to make a dinosaur. I decided on a raptor. On the suggestion of my friend Joe I added in a chicken leg and a KFC bucket.

The importance of backing up

On my bear, the one that is shown in the render here, the file ended up becoming corrupted. It was the save for my hair settings...so I basically lost a ton of work that I put in on the hair. Now I have to re-set it up. At least I didn't lose everything but a loss is a loss.

Chess

I was working on this for awhile but its been put behind due to other projects. I'll revisit it sometime and fix up the lighting. This is another piece that will go into my demo reel.
