Walk Cycle

Color Script

Here is my color script. Notice that the second scene is not in the script, just wanted to put all the characters together in one visual.

Storyboards

Here are part of my story boards for the pirate story. Here is a shot list .

Lip Synch

Here is a lip syncing exercise. I believe the audio is from
"Army of Darkness."

Project 1 Finished

Finally finished my Character Project. I completely redid the rig from scratch especially for this character. I also added detail to the model by smoothing and refining the model, chopping his beard, and closing his mouth. Finally I redid his textures, adding some corrosion to his metal and pegleg, improving the boot leather, and adding some dirt to his shirt and coat. Here are some renders, a turntable animation and a walk cycle animation.

Bounce

Here is an animation of a bowling ball bouncing:



And Here is one of a ping pong ball:



Finally here is a movie of a soccer ball bouncing:

Leon RIP

While testing Leon's walk cycle I discovered that his rig is FUBAR. Although the legs move OK, the arm manipulators are screwed up. Probably forgot to freeze some transformations. So today I bury it and start again on a new rig custom made for my pirate. I feel that if I have to redo the rig, my time is better spent redoing the pirate's rig. Here is the play blast that led to Leon's demise:

Project 1 Phase 1

Here is my character, I am trying to redo my pirate from last semester to make him easier to animate. Anyways, Here is a sketch, a picture of my maquette, and a render of the WIP.

Mr. Bones

Here is Leon's skeleton. Creating his skeleton got me thinking about how I would add joints for other models like my pirate character. The tied ends of his bandanna as well as the bottom of his trench coat would have to be redone. I think I will redesign him to be easier to make a skeleton for.

Homework 1 Bouncy Ball

This first video was drawn freehand on the tablet in the Digital Arts Lab. I wish the shape of the ball was more consistent, but it is hard to get used to drawing freehand on a digital tablet. The entire animation was created using ToonBoom.




This video was created using Maya. It was a lot quicker to implement the same animation in Maya.
