Ferugs's Ball Roll

This is one of the other animations that I have been working on. I still have to fix some things on it and than I will do the clean up and post the final one too. Oh yeah, his name is Fergus Firdus.

Animals

These are sketches that I had in my sketch book.
This first one is a Polar Bear from the Lincoln Park Zoo, on a weekend when I went to a sketch crawl with a group of fellow animators.

This one is a sun bear.

Both bears seem to of been posing that day, actually it seemed like all the animals were posing or they probably sensed that winter was getting closer so they were reserving their energy for hibernation. Any who, they where fun to draw.

These other two drawings are just sketches that I did on the train as I headed into town for work.

Lunch Menu Images

At the begging of last week I had a family member ask me if I could do some images for their lunch menus at their job. They are very simple designs. At first I did the BBQ wings in photoshop, but once I was done, they looked too real!! So I scratched that out and stuck with simple designs.

The Making of Glass

Yesterday I was on my computer almost all day since I woke up. I was working on multiple things, and one of them was figuring out how to make glass in Maya. I had difficulties with the setting but I finally got it at the end and I am still seeing what the glass texture can do.
This first image is my first test, as you can see it was too dark.

The following are more test trials later on that day after figuring out the settings.

Complimentary

Here is one of my previous post now colored.

Claud VanDirb WalkN Sit update

Hi, well here is a more updated animation to my walk and sit. I am still doing clean ups on the final animation, so hopefully I will have the final one posted up by next week. I have gotten busy with other things, but I am still working on my animations.

Sketches

The first sketch is one that I started last week and finished today. At first it was just her standing there, and the flames came, after that the door, and at the end it evolved to what you see now. I just kept adding to it. There are somethings that I am going to change on the first one, that I have gotten input on, as well as the second one. Now the second one I started today and I ran out of room for her feet so that is why her feet ended the way they did. >.< I'll fix that too.

Lilia's Hats prt01

Here is an animation that I did in a class called Computer Animation Studio in Spring 2006, where you work on a project from start to end. I had rendering problems, so all the textures and lighting don't show up as they should. But hopefully I will be able to fix the rendering problem and finish this project.

Apple

Well I have not posted anything 3D in a while so just for fun here is a quickly made 3D apple that I made using nurbs. I mostly model in polys but I have something coming up that requires me to use nurbs, so this is me trying to get use to using nurbs again. LOL. I had a few problems with putting a shader on the stem, it is suppose to be brown, but came out green.

Claud N Fergus Colored

Here are Claud and Fergus colored in photoshop. Claud is a character that I am animating in a walk and sit animation and I am using Fergus in a ball roll animation. The animation for the walk and sit is almost done, just some minor tweaks here and there.
