The final render for “In Reflection” 

Rig:

A work in progress for a more “traditional” animation I’m working on. 

I probably should’ve uploaded more of the blocking phase, because it’s almost complete here, but oh well. 

There’s a few more finishing touches I need to do (most importantly adding reflection to the mirror) but I probably won’t be able to in these next few weeks as Games Week is starting here in Melbourne :c

Walking on ahead

The first steps on the animation project.

Getting started on an animation project

And it starts with rigging.

I’ve asked to help out a friend with their current project to do animations for them. I’ll talk more about the project later when it’s easier to show things but at the moment I’m very excited.. and a little nervous. 

The project has a large number of animations that need to be done, and because it being a simulation type game, the animations will be selling the game quite a bit - for the believability and charm.

On top of that we’re trying for the PAX indie showcase, which means we need to be picked over other games to be displayed there. What this boils down to is there isn’t a lot of time to make a large quantity of animation that also needs to be quality. And on top of that: trying to juggle the rest of my life. 

So, excited and nervous definitely sums it up; and throw in stressed a few weeks from now for good measure.

More rigging!

My life has just been rigging these last few weeks 

I’m practicing as much as I can to try and improve :)

The models are from Pluralsight

New sprinting and long jump animation.

Late night

This has taken me around a day to complete and could probably use another day for more polish.

Sass walk

I haven’t been feeling well lately so in class today I just decided to work on my own animation (instead of doing the work :s) 

Didn't have a whole lot of time and I don’t want to to stretch this out any further than I have to - it was just a quick little exercise.

The fairy

I’ve started a subscription with Plural Sight and been practicing using their online tutorials. You may now see some of my work from there. 

Both characters belong to Plural Sight and the fairy/butterfly (I see both) animation wasn’t made by me. 

The character animation was all me however, and I added a lot to it from watching the tutorial. 

The animation is not fully complete and polished but it’s at a standard that I’m happy with and I’d rather keep practicing on newer scenarios.

More run cycle practice

Sorry the gif software sped up the animations :( 

I can’t seem to get this run cycle right; this about the 5th attempt.

I’ll keep trying.
