It's been a busy summer, but I'm back at Ringling now and we're already done with the first two weeks of school. We are off to a running start with lots of assignments and lots of work. Although, I must say I am enjoying them all quite a bit right now. I'm excited for the upcoming year and all that I will encounter, but also nervous due to the fact that second semester means pitching a thesis idea...scary. I should be posting quite a bit of work as the year moves forward, but here is the first project of CA (Computer Animation) for this semester.
It is just a walk cycle, but our teacher told us to show him what we could do, so I did my best in the time allotted. We were given the character and told to animate. I gave the character a happy go-lucky kind of attitude, almost as if he just had his first kiss. Enjoy!
Sorry it's been so long without a post... We've been working on the largest project of the year in our Computer Animation class, so it's been really busy. But here it is! This is my Sit Stand. The requirements were that the character comes into the scene, sits down, reacts to something, and leaves in a different manner. Sounds easy right...? No, not at all. It was quite the challenge to get all of this done and it has taken A LOT of time, but it has all been worth it. I'm quite pleased with my final product and I hope you enjoy it as well! Feel free to leave comments, feedback is always welcome!
PS: For this project, we came up with the story, designed the character, modeled the character (built him on the computer), rigged the character (made it so he could move)(including all of the facial expressions), did all of the textures and colors, modeled the environment, lit the scene, and animated it! Pheeewww
PPS:there is sound, so feel free to turn those speakers on :)
Meet Robie! He is another modeling project like the penguin. Although they are both modeling, they are extremely different to make. We only had a couple weeks to model him, but I spent a lot of time on him. Even with all the time put in, there was a lot more I could have done to him. Enjoy!
Here's what I've been working on since the beginning of second semester for Computer Animation. It is a collection of different animation exercises. Each one has a specific goal about what it is supposed to teach us. They are also to help us prep for our upcoming project, which is the SitStand project. It will be my biggest project yet, so make sure to check back in for it!
So I haven't taken a figure class since first semester of my first year, but I've had the opportunity to sit in on some classes and workshops this year, so I thought I'd post a couple of my figures. Enjoy!
