Class 2 Progress Reel!

So, without any further delay, here's my Class 2 Progress Reel!:



As you can see, there are some rendered versions of the animations I already posted here, as well as all my class 1 animations. Thanks for watching! =D

Hopscotch Splined

This is the hopscotch animation splined. It is the last assignment for Class 2! I still feel that it needs some adjustments, but Class 2 is over now, so, if I ever come back to it, it will be in a while, maybe after class 3 is over, cause we starting right away next week! Woot!! Anyway, I hope you enjoy it! Cheers!

Hopscotch

Ok, so I'm doing a hopscotch animation for my final Class 02 assignment! Wow! this is going sooo fast! It is the first assignment with a full character (Stewie) with legs, spine and arms! Great! So here is the blocking pass, any comment, leave a comment! (hehe):

Week 7

Ok, so this is the final version of the "Fall" animation. If you're wondering why no week 6 post, I can explain (hehe): Week 6 was this same animation in rough spline, so I decided to wait a little more and show the final version instead. Hope you like it! Here it is:

Week 5

So, in one single video, the week 5 assignment aaaand the Kick Ball revision:

Week 4

So here it is, the polishing pass:

Week 3

So this is my week 3 assignment:



As you can see, I changed the camera and worked the poses more. I have a lot more poses now which is gonna make the transition to spline a lot easier. Still some things to adjust before doing that though. Hope you all like how it's coming along! Any suggestions, leave a comment! =D Thanks!

Hey Blog! Week 2!!!

Oh! Yes yes... the BLOG!! Class 2 is at full speed now and I should be posting something already!!! My apologies for that... Actually, week 1 was practically just the Progress Reel that is already here... so, I think it's ok to start off with WEEK 2!

In week 2, we get to pick from a list of several different options to animate. I chose "Kick a ball".

So here it is, first blocking pass for the "Kick Ball" Assignment:

Week 12

So, without further delay, here's week 12 assignment: The Progress Reel!

Week 11

So here it is! The final assignment for this term: The Personality Walk!

Week 10

Week 10 was the blocking for the personality walk. Also we had the EXHAUSTED pose. So here it is:

Aaand the blocking:

Follow Me!

Since my friend Jerry Matsko told me he was following my blog, I realized I have never used this "follow" feature here. So today I did two good changes in this blog: I removed all ads (who needs them anyway? hehehe) and added the "followers" section! So, if you check out here every now and then, I invite you to be a follower! Welcome!

Thought Of You

Well, you probably already heard about this animation by Ryan Woodward in some other blog or site, if not, you're so missing out, go check it out right now! Anyway, if you did see the animation, it's also cool to check out the making of:

Awesome stuff!

Cheers!

Week 9

Ok, so here's the final version of the walk:


And the pose for this week was CONCERN. My first idea was the classic "Thinker", but of course I needed to experiment a bit, so here's the planning:

Then, I tried the one in the middle:

But, in the end, decided to go with the classic instead:

Can't go wrong with the classics, right? hehehe

So that's all for my week 9! See ya in week 10!

Week 8

So, week 8 was the first of a two week assignment. The Vanilla Walk! At first, I thought it was easy to do a vanilla walk, but I noticed that it's really hard to find just the right balance in everything. If you put something a little too much or too less, it looks like a character walk. Also, it's kinda subjective what's vanilla and what's personality in walks because everybody walks differently... The thing is, in real life, there are no "vanilla" walks... Also, we had to do a pose again this week. The Physical Strength pose! Here it is:

And here is the blocking for the walk:

It's pretty bad, but it's just a blocking, it will look better in the next post! =)
