Fall semester has arrived, so it is time for a new class to take over this blog.

Here is some inspiration, from a Gobelins:

More in-progress Final Project work

Added a Neck and now working on the hand.

Both being obnoxious to model but hopefully it'll turn out better eventually...

Still a lot more to do...urg..

3D Advance animation final still modeling

Evening guys, 

So, after finally getting somewhat better from a nasty cold, here's the screenshots I have for the body in progress. 

Next week the animation tests are due so this really should be fun to get all of this done and rigged..

But progress is still happening and at least the head is mostly done. 

Have a good Easter everyone!

Screenshots of Head Model

Evening everyone! 

Not much to post this week but here's some screenshots of the head model I'm working on so far for our final animation. 

Enjoy and see you Monday!

concept art and inspiration

Hi! Here's my inspiration for textures and looks for my final animation.

Also here are some sketches in preparation for modeling. 

Enjoy and have a good weekend everyone!

Sketches for Animation Idea

Hi! So since I'm not sure if we were suppose to post images or not here are my sketches for my animation idea. I'm also working on this for my final project which is why they're detailed in both drawings and plot but the basic premise is about these two girls with a close friendship that become involved in cliques, popularity, and bullying when one of them wants to become friends with the popular girl Emily and gets the opportunity to do so. 

I also have the animatic I did in 2d principles but I wasn't sure whether or not to post that and these are just some of many images I thought communicated best what happens in the story without giving away the little ''surprise'' at the end. 

So I hope this helps. See you guys tomorrow!

Still working on final but just thought I'd show how the city looks with the toonshading added in.

Hopefully will have more posted soon.

Good luck with finals everyone!

final ARIL360 scenery

Not much tonight. Here's some screenshots of my background for the final.

Next step is adding some texture and colors to the buildings.

See ya tomorrow!

Destiny

Yet another well made and very entertaining student animation from France. The fact that throwing a cat under the bus was even considered as a possible ending indicates a lack of deeper meaning, but in that this animation can hardly be considered unique.

The Origin of Modern Animation?

This article in the Guardian on the Beatles movie "Yellow Submarine" makes a credible argument for considering that animation as pivotal in the history of this Art form, as being the first "mature" animation (not "adult" in the common sense). In the mainstream at least.

Something old, something new.

Being a bit under he weather I was browsing the NFB site and found a high quality version of this classic animation. Always a pleasure!

Here are two more recent works from a series:

Final Project- 3D texture/lighting

1st two scenes- Morning Light

3nd and 4th scene- Midday 

5th and 6th scene- Evening (with light source from street lamps)

Here are my six sketches for what I want to do for the final in this class. I decided to re-texture my animation from the previous semester (hopefully using the new toon texturing technique we learned) with each scene lit at different points in the day to add some variety. 

Enjoy and see you all tomorrow!

Halloween Scene

Halloween scene. Probably finished but may tweak it still. We'll have to see.

Halloween assignment: placement

Hey guys!

So far this is the camera angle and composition I had in mind for my halloween scene.
Wish the cat could be at least placing it's paws on the pumpkin but it turns out my rig and character model kind of sucks....so here's the next best thing.

Now need to add some lighting and backgrounds.

And sketches for final project will be posted sometime this week!

So see ya! Can't wait to see how everyone's halloween scene turns out! :)

This is a Title

After the previous, unfortunately title-less post, it is obvious not only animation from Eastern Europe can be hilarious and uplifting. Here is one from the same general region. Also dramatically low poly:

Did I mention I would like you to LABEL your posts? With your name for starters? I am expecting a number of posts using the "Halloween" label, by the way.
