Animation Exercise

Animation Short Short, learning how to shift weight. My learnings + some nCloth learnings :)

Enjoy my video on demonstrating the artful tack on how to deal with the female mind.

Lighting Exercise

After viewing some inspiring lighting tutorials, I decided to go ahead and do an exercise to see what I could do with my new knowledge, I love the ambient occlusion hack I've learnt, It's great.
Render took 40sec's, with a decent computer it would come way down. Pretty happy with the quality for a 40 second render. Having problems with the shadow casting...

Main Character Model.01

Almost complete model for my nursery rhyme. Need to add some things like buttons, hair maybe some pockets and a tie? hehe. Really enjoyed making him so far, total of 2 days, estimated 16 hours actual time.
Very pleased with it so far. Only the head got Zbrushed, thinking at the end I might do minor adjustments to the body for more interesting proportions, we'll see how it goes.

Face modeling/topology 2

Here he is again with eye sockets and cleaned up cheek lines.

Face modeling/topology

Here's my face model for my new character on the nursery rhyme short.
Mostly modeled in Maya and a few overall large changes in Zbrush. Thinking of making a high poly version in zbrush and normal mapping detail on.

Environment 1.c

Here's the renders I'm handing in. Slight post work, but overall satisfaction with what came out. After this I've come to the conclusion that I'm in need of learning how to render efficiently, also need to learn how to render in layers and passes. Skills to learn for another day, for now: Topology issues to get maximum use out of the deformations. 

Environment 1.b

Some new additions, having trouble with the texturing of the actual cliff face, but anyway here's another picture of the environment in it's mutating phase, hopefully at the end I have something really cool to show for it! 

Environment 1.a

An environment for the Eli Project, Not my favorite time, still a work in progress. During these past 2 years, I can say with confidence that my passion lies in Characters. Character animation, design and modeling.
