Blend Shape Fun

Just got done with our first big critique for this semester... We had our layout due and our blendshape test for our characters. Doing this short little animation made us both very excited about actually animating these guys for the rest of the film!

Enjoy....

Thesis Update

Been a long time since i updated...too long really. Greg and I have been working hardcore on getting the models of the characters and the cars ready to go. Everything is still in progress and will change to a certain degree but for the most part here they are. I was responsible for the male character and Greg was responsible for the female....WAA HOO!!


Here is a close up of his face...

And another full body shot...
And finally a link to a turnaround of the Knockout's Car...

Summer Time

Wow...summer, for me at least, is almost over. Headed back to school soon, just finished up my internship at Big Huge Games. AWESOME! Those guys there are seriously awesome and super kool to work with. Seriously i never had so much fun doing work in my life. Nerf gun fights and 3D...what more can you ask for. Anyways, i havent been slacking on thesis either, at night been working as much as i can. So far im nearing completion on the Knockouts car, i dont have any renders just screen grabs. When textured it will look a bit more weathered and old, kinda like its been through quite a bit...





Next up...the Deconstructor, hopefulyl he will be done by the time classes start

First Thesis Idea

Here are some character designs for our first proposed thesis idea. Greg Peltz and I are collaborating on both of our thesis ideas, trying to do a joint thesis. Double the man power, double the fun. The idea is a women who is trying to break up with her Monster boyfriend (Leonard) when he finds out there is actually another man....monster....(Vinny)


Greg Peltz is responsible for the design of Courtney...our leading lady


This is my design of Leonard, and some color studies. He is the boyfriend...

Also, my design of Vinny. Courtney's new hot "fling."
