hope to texture it, soon...

Things to come!

To be honest with everyone, esp me!!!! I personally cant WAIT to start working on the tank.


anyway, enjoy! =)

notes =) (Problem solving) =)

these aren't meant to be seen by anyone =)
the goal is to finish all these things.
Best thing about rigging is trying to figure out solutions to problems that You have no idea about...make you really think.

progress =)

chapter 4: Dan the Dragon

I've been keeping busy with work very much so, lately. But I've managed to start this guy up and thought I'd update my blog. =)

enjoy!

Tank - Andy 307 (working title)

First concepts of my project I'd like to start when I'm finished with "dan, the dragon" rig.

I'm very excited about this. The idea came from work. I've been meaning to model something mechanical with treads (Wall-E inspired) I wanted something simple but you cant get any simpler then Wall-E =)

I've been working with Tanks at work for some time now and I thought it'd be a fun challenge to give it a shot and create a cartoon version of what I do at work.

cheers,

enjoy!

fatMan pose.

I've managed to improve my fatMan character rig with muscles and better controls for the animators.
I will be starting another rig in a weeks time and its going to be of the dragon.
Hopefully this time, I'll actually put a story behind it and get an animation short out for fun.

Meet Dan(working title)

To the drawing board. I have been busy with 2 character, "fatMan" and "Charlie" but those projects have come to an end. I was on the bus and started thinking about a character that would be a challenge to model, rig, and animate. BUT at the same time...FUN!
So i drew him. Meet,Dan! =)

Charlie: some drawings =)

Charlie =)

The character is coming along. I've just added cylinders to block out the tires and engine =)
I cant wait to start rigging this. Hope you like.

The Crown...

The beginning stages of the Crown. I absolutely loved the Witch Kings from Lord of the Rings. This is no where near their talents, but I wanted a "bone" ish look to this crown. Its a start. lets see where I go from here =)

James??? (I dont like naming my characters, clearly)

So yes...this rig is quite done. I'm just touching up on cleaning up the file. One thing I was not pleased with was the eyebrow hair. Call is laziness or what you mean, I know how to do it, and now I wish I had taken just a bit more time modeling the hair properly haha. Regardless, its a that is fun to animate.
For my next "human character" assignments, I will definently put hair. Check out my next Maya project. I'm fairly excited about this one more then ever. I found myself working on its concepts over this rig project I was doing.
