Animation Test

So after fiddling around with the rigging I managed to fix up the main problem with the crotch (Basically the bi-ped's pelvis was on backwards for some reason)

This is just a quick shot of me mucking around with animation, basically trying to get a feel for animating in 3D since I've never really done it before.

Texturing

Ok so now Google has decided that I'm not a spambot I'm allowed to post on my blog again.

So I finished texturing and rigging my model.




The problem as you can probably see with the running animation. Is that the deformation in the rigging is rooted. So I'm going to see if I can fix that up in the model without having to start over again from scratch, either way the uv unwrapping is going to have to be completely redone. So yay for that.

Well lesson learnt, rig before uv unwrapping.

Final Model Turn around.

Ok so I finished up the model, added a few details did his bag and everything. Worked out how to use a cloth modifier for his bag, no idea how it's going to go when I start animating him but I guess we'll see.



Also here's a close up of the head for a guy on a forum that asked for it.

So I started moddeling again from scratch, starting with a new turn around to work from.
I'm a fair bit happier with how this model turned out proportion wise, I'm still not verry good at faces and esspecialy getting it to match up with my drawings but the structure of the face overall is much better.

Texture Test

Just playing around with textures.

First go at modeling

So above is my first go at moddeling the main charecter, not really happy with how it turned out so I'm going to be starting again from scratch, I don't think the turn around I did was not really clear enough.
The turn around I used is below.

Run Man

So basically what I'm working on at the moment is to do a short movie that looks like game play, in an attempt to show to some programmers to get them convinced to work with me and make a short game. Above is the main character design. I'm currently working on modeling him in 3D, however I've never had much experience with 3D modeling so it's kind of a learning experience for me.

05-05-2010 My First Post

Ok, so I've tried to do this about 4 times before and always failed.
So lets say fifth time lucky.

I'm going to keep this blog of everything I do art wise in my attempt to get a job in some sort of animation capacity. I'll be posting drawings, animations, 3d Models, texture tests etc around here.

Hope you enjoy.
