Character Modeling Final

So this is what I worked on today, the stone didn't turn up, but this is what the stone looks like up close and far away. 

So these are my finals so far...

So this is my compositing final, obviously it's not finished, I'm still in the process of learning Illustrator and it's taking me a long time to learn, so this 2d animation is going to take time to actually complete, thankfully I have a good grade in the class so even if my final sucks at least I turned in something today and I'm still making the animation.

My character model is almost finished, I want to finish making the mask today on top of working on the lighting for my materials and lighting final.  I hope that I will be able to complete it alright.  I've gotta come in early tomorrow to Rocky's morning class so I can get some help setting up the cameras for my final.  I'm still in the process of making the mask for this ghost-it will have a shiny gold mask on. =:)

Lastly-I don't have the picture of my Materials and Lighting Final at the moment, but I will add it on later.  I'm currently working on it, so bare with me. =:)

New Projects

With Friends:
Me, Stephanie Wadley, Ana Barrerra, and Kristal Atkins will be doing a photoshoot dressed up in different elemental style costumes, plus maybe for Halloween

Personal Projects:
Animation: 2D from photo to animation, here's an example of what I want it to kind of take after (except my idea will be in the reverse of this:



Animated parts of this video include 0:00-0:13, 00:49-00:52, 1:56-1:58, 2:39-2:42.
I'm thinking of doing a dark angel photoshoot with some minimal moving (fast shots), and then animating it in The animated parts of this video include: 2D-just like what you saw in the beginning of this youtube video.
Painting: Flower-Face painting
Sculpture- mini town/people/pendants

Some new stuff

Motion Tracking in After Effects (Fixing this later)

Below-Materials and Lighting with Rocky: ring, Kings Treasure, and wireframe room of Kings Treasure.

Character Modeling: *I'm still working on this model and I will be planning on animating this in the future*

So the blue stuff is what I call "the shell," it is whatever I'm making with the orange lines are on the picture of my character model below.  This is what we're doing on ZBrush in Character Modeling with Rocky this Winter 2012 quarter, it's called retopping a character.

Character Modeling Fall 2011 with Baker *I couldn't finish the final at all because I only had 1 week to work on my Finals, but this is what we were doing in there.*

So, yeah-I've gotten better with Maya guys! Whoot! (omg finally right?)

Materials and Lighting Winter 2012

Some work for Character Ideation the past 3 weeks

I have a lot of work I haven't put up on this website....

Here's some good old animation examples...

Walk Cycle - Principles of Animation

Fire Animation - 3D Animation



Text Animation - 3D Animation



Here's some stopmo for you-it needs some work, but it's not completely bad...Broadcast and Motion Graphics last quarter-Fall 2011.



Some After Effects Animation forom Compostiting Class this quarter Winter 2012.

This is the first animation I've ever done,  Summer Studio 2008, I was 17 and I didn't really know too much about animation other than what I read from books about flipbook drawing animations, and what I saw in movies and commercials.

End of Character Ideation Fall 2011:

*I had one week to work on four finals plus an audited class at the end of Fall 2011, so unfortunately the work wasn't where I wanted, but at least you know I tried to hustle with what I could.*

First Logo Animation on After Effects =:)

Hey guys! For my midterm we had to animate a logo, so I designed my own a couple weeks ago, redid it a couple weeks later, and then finished it today. Here's the end result:

In Class Character Battle

Asbraxas Heavy Cavalry

Character Ideation Assignments + Broadcast and Motion Graphics

This was my 3rd week's assignment, the first one I'm going to get rid of the thick black outlines of the marshmellows and the ledge that the girl jumped off of when she went to kick the dude into the marshmellows, the second one I didn't turn in because I didn't like it (we only needed to turn in 3), the second one was everyone's favorite because they thought it was the coolest, the fourth one I didn't turn in because I thought it was elegant, but not interesting enough.  And lastly the fourth one is the improved version of the drawing, but I plan on taking out more black so it's a little clearer.

This is the fourth week's worth of assignments, but I'm going to add more of my robot drawings since I drew more robots than this.

 

Character Modeling Assignments so far

Michael Baker's class:
So, just to explain what I and the rest of my classmates had to do, we had to demonstrate our abilities and drag and drop them into this folder he calls the Achievements folder, which is a folder made up of up to 30 or so folders.  We get points or prizes or what not for the amount of achievements we achieve.  I've done the model of the forearm and hand, the cannon arm, and probably one of the shoulders, unfortunately, I don't have jpg's of them yet, so that I'll have to post up later, but this is what I've done so far in this class.

Character Ideation Assignments for this quarter!

The 1st week: My top 3 picks

The other two drawings 2 or 3 drawings I had to make:

I made a Jester/Harlequin-like character, but I'll have to add that drawing to this later.

2nd Week:

So, Kevin asked us to use Loomis' heads, and try to match our characters with the heads and this is what I came up with.  I personally have trouble with some of the jaws and the face angles don't seem to go with the characters...I'd change the way I'd draw them, but using the refs makes it trickier for me...

We also had to draw a caricature, this is mine:

I had a lot of fun with this caricature, I don't draw in this particular style too often, so I thought it would be fun to take a new route, when I turned the assignment in it didn't quite look like this yet, but this is the better version.
