Weekly Reflection 5 - Samurai Shading

So I've been messing around with shading and lights and this is what I got. I'm going to draw everything again but with more detail so the lighting will turn out better.

weekly update

This week I worked on a scene where my elephant pokes the boy in the back for the first time, i spent a lot of time trying to capture facial animation and now understand how hard it is to animate a character doing nothing, but still seem alive. I got a lot of work done this week and hope to finish up this scene next week and then move to the next.

Today we got done with the background & now doing the animation ... we still need to finish sound & animate the characters in this project that we are soon doing .... Yea

Weekly Reflection Olson

This week began with the finishing of Bertrand. The blending of the colors on photoshop was probably the most difficult thing. However the weekended with me working on my project for color and design in order to get it done for the state show.

This week I finalized the walking animation design for Bertrand and began a detailed sketch of his head later.

Our team decided to go from real building to cardboard buildings. At the end of our movie we are going to have a end scene.

Weekly update

This week I have been struggling with reseting the rig to untwist. somewhere in my animation the arms became very twisted and I have problems animating somethings because of the twists. So once i got that all worked out, I realized that the hand on the rig would lock up in a certain pose and not parent with the arm. I switched the controls to IK controls where you only move the wrist and the rest of the arm will follow suit. I'm now back to animating the rest of the story, i feel a bit under pressure considering the state art show is only a month away and i hoped to be finished by then.

Weekly Reflection 4 - Samurai Showdown

So here's the unfinished sketch of a new project I'm doing. It's still TF2 related and has the same artstyle, but I wanted to change up what I was doing because I didn't like painting over a picture from the internet. Hopefully I'll finish the sketch by the beginning of next week and start painting!

Weekly Reflection 3 - More rocks

So I started painting more of the landscape and I even added textures. As of now it looks decent, I might redo most it though. I feel like painting this from a videogame isn't the best way to be painting so I will probably restart and paint from my imagination. I'll keep the same idea of a desert like terrain but I won't be painting over a photograph.

Week 2 Reflection

Well here's what I'm currently doing:
Animating the character
creating the environment
Modeling more props to add to the environment
Finding sounds
Asking others for their help. see what they suggest
So far, I've accomplished animating Optimus more, creating the pop up ad with the spring, but I am still searching for sounds, maybe ones that will fit the environment.

 This is the pop up ad, I decided just to make it a ad for some type of soda.

The environment, with more walls and a big monitor.

Animation of Optimus looking through the paper, I added more of a hand gesture since he looked really bland with no other body movement.

Weekly Reflection Olson

This week what I did was worked on homework for other classes, and began drawing the ruff sketch for the golden retriever puppy running animation. The puppy idea is that it won't be a complete outlined model, but more of a ruff design animation.

Weekly Reflection 2 - I drew some rocks
