Run Cycle

My run cycle for the Eli Character. Glad I got time to redo, from what I did the first time around. First time I had an Ik Spine and found it limiting and made it much harder to control the rig. I created some FK controls for the lower back Lumbar area, and a chest control which made animating the twist a lot more controllable. FK love it :)

Walk cycle

Eli experiences walking for the first time. Found some limitations with the setup, but that's great news, as now I know what to do for the next rig I make.

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...
