Simple Poly Exercises

YAY!!! The semester is officially over! It has been a very tiring semester, but I have learned so much. This is my final Computer Animation assignment. It was a collection of different exercises: a jump, walk, and turn. We had to complete the exercises using a "simple poly" character or as my teacher likes to put it, an object with legs. I went through different character designs, but decided on a simple mailbox. I decided to use a more simple character because I wanted to focus more on the animation of the character and less on the design of him. This was a great assignment and definitely taught me a lot. Enjoy!

Thief Animatic

This is our final project for Concept I. It is an animatic, a video of drawings from the main beats of a story. The assignment was to create a story where one character wanted to steal a bite of another character's food. We also had to have one character that was non-human. My story involves a rat and a chef...no not ratatouille...just watch and enjoy!

End of Semester

The end of fall semester is here! It's finals week and we're working hard! I'll have a lot of new work being posted next week, once finals and everything else finally settle down and I get to relax for a little bit. Phew, what a semester!

Gorilla Quadraped Run

This is my Traditional Animation of a Gorilla run. It was the second part to the Quadraped assignment that I posted earlier. The quadraped assignment was by far my favorite traditional project yet.

Penguin Model

This is our 3D Penguin Model. It is an assignment that is very frustrating and many people have a hard time with. It was a very tricky assignment and quite time consuming. My final product could've been better if I had had a little more time, but it isn't too bad. I'm just glad the assignment is over! Phew! Now on to the next!
