NEW PROJECT

2012-01-26T20:31:00.000-08:00

Having started a new project, here is a concept for the character's face.

MUNNY BUB

2010-12-16T23:01:00.000-08:00

Well, over the weekend I purchased a Munny Bub. Here's how it turned out.

I had alot of fun with it. I added SuperSculpey and bargain paint. But overall, I think it turned out pretty well.

Carlos gets facial

2010-11-22T14:01:00.000-08:00

So I've been working on getting the facial rig done for Carlos. I decided to go with curved based rig as opposed to the blendshape method I'm used to. So far it's exceeded my expectations. The transformations are more fleshy than before with littler effort. I still have to find a way to blend this new system with blinks and also find a way to attach eyebrow and mustache geometry so that it is all intuitively controlled. More progress coming soon.

Carlos with facial rig started. End product will be cleaner.

Carlos Short daily

2010-09-17T13:59:00.000-07:00

Here's a little snippet of the title sequence from the Carlos short.

Alimentos Bandido loosely translates to Food Bandit.

I'm definitely trying to make a full push for getting done with Carlos. He's been sitting in the To-Do box way too long. And will probably be making some rounds on the animator pool to help get this done. And sound. I would like it to be done by next year so that I could possible put it in some shows, but its all in the air at this point. and it kinda depends on how fast this thing comes together.

I know that there is a lot of work to do. I have to finalize the storyboards/script. I also have to iron out some of the details and style of the short. I have some environment blocks done and the rig is almost done, waiting on a full facial rig. Before I finish the environment, I definitely need to finish style sheets and drawings of the environment props. But all in all, this is definitely going to be an awesome project to work on. I can't wait to get to the good stuff.

Well kinda got sidetracked a little and went on a creative splurg.

This is my desktop. Fitted with RocketDock and Rainmeter.

In the mean time, I'm working on updating websites and blogs to a new design, even though I just changed it.
I think I have found the perfect layout and design for me though.

Alright here is some of the concept stuff ive been working on.

this is the initial drawing for the background. Supposed to be like a old shed or house.

these are sketches of the table and chair. just throwing around ideas.

This is just a sketch page for a little shrine to him

Progress On Stuff

2009-10-14T19:09:00.000-07:00

Well currently working on a nice model for the einstein guy. then on to facial rigging. here is shots on the progress so far.

My main concern now is the hair. I have some test renders for using Maya Hair but its kinda expensive to run and is gonna be hard to perfect. I think i might go with just regular meshes and use the hair system to drive. Suggestions anyone?

New Projects

2009-09-24T18:22:00.000-07:00

So while I'm searching for a job, I will be working on a few different projects.

One project is the modeling and facial rigging of the Einstein guy. I feel like this will be a great asset to my reel and give me a chance to do some rigging.

Another project is rigging a basic rig for my buddy Clint. Nothing to fancy but a project none-the-less.

Also, I've been trying out a few new programs. One that I am really enjoying is Sketchbook Pro from Autodesk. Here is a little doodle that I did while learning the software.

I think Sketchbook Pro is a great product. It has a great UI and its easier than corel but just as artistic. It's not as valuable as Photoshop but a fun program.

New Website

2009-09-08T14:28:00.001-07:00

Well I got a new website. And it has an updated reel on it.

Check it Out !!!!

Will update it soon.

Los Angeles Trip 2009

2009-07-31T00:31:00.000-07:00

Okay so I'm sorry about this blog being a little lame. I'm gonna get better at posting stuff.

So my recent adventures has taken me to Los Angeles. SCAD has an annual trip to LA to tour the animation studios there. So far it has been the best networking and general learning experience. My friend Clint Donaldson and I roomed together in a nice hotel the school setup. Along with Tina O'Hailey, our beloved teacher, the group has one VFX kid (Dustin Colson), and two animation girls.
