Final Project - Winter semester

Below is a link to my final project for Intro to Animation. I wanted the frog to catch a fish at the end but ran out of time since I had a truck load of problems getting the rig to work with the facial animation. Don't mind the lighting and texturing.

Animation project #3

This was a blendshape assignment. Basically, I created this same face with several different expressions and then animated between each shape to make it look like he's talking. He's a little animatronic but I learned a lot quick.

Animation project #2

My next assignment involved dynamics. I decided to use Mario as a poor victim of his never ending nemesis: Bowser.

Animation Project #1

Here is my first animation project for Intro to animation. Our assignment was to model a Lego man and then animate him using only the basic translate, rotate, and scale controllers without any rigging. I didn't spend any time on the texturing or lighting so you'll have to forgive me.

Neal

 

I told my buddy Neal that I was going to do a caricature of him and so he sent me a picture of himself with a beard. Luckily I found a picture of him when our family went up to visit him in Idaho Falls. He was actually pulling this face in the photo and so it wasn't hard to distort him (not that he has huge cheeks, massive ears and a small nogen in real life...) Anyways, the scanner made this really pixely but I had to get it up tonight in case Neal didn't believe I was going to do it.

Dubbaya

You gotta love old George Dubbaya Bush. I've researched a lot of artist's and it seems like they have always come up with their own version of him. This is just a sketch to see if I could push his features a bit. I had a hard time with the values (like normal) but that's what these tests are for! I struggle using anything other than a #2 pencil. I used a HB, 2B, and 4B sketching pencil on this and felt like I was drawing with my tongue... which might not be a bad idea since I can roll it both directions. Anyways, I'll probably take another shot at this here shortly.

Merciless Morgan lives!

And me thoughts me saw him dead with me own eye.

To explain, my family and I did a Murder Mystery the day after Thanksgiving and my brother Eric, Merciless Morgan, was the unfortunate soul to be murdered. We took a photo of him which ended up being a perfect subject for my first ever completed digital painting - Wahoo! I still don't know what I'm doing but it was a fun process. I tried to give it a caricature type of look and so I distorted his face and proportions quite a bit. I've included some of the steps of the process below. The first sketch I did was with a normal paintbrush which ended up leaving no variation in line but since I was painting over it, it didn't matter. I have recently found some brushes that simulate a very realistic pencil so I'll be using those in the future. Anyways, I hope those that attended get a kick out of it.
