Hello internet world!

As you can see I don't use this blog as much as I'd like to. After graduation I took bit of a break but now I'v been back in the creative mode. I will be creating a website for the next couple weeks and will share that link on here. As far as this blog, I deleted any 2D posts and it's more likely going to stay dead. But... I will keep the 3D stuff on here for enjoyment.

Signing out!

WOW! That's all I'm going to describe this dvd.
While finishing up my demo for review I had the bonus stuff from this dvd play in the background. Not the best idea since I probably spent most of the time turning around and being amazed by the special features. Not only is the movie in itself amazing, but the specials and history on the 2nd disc is just...enlightening. The perfect icing on top would have been if they included the original full lenght sketches plus the final colored version, but only one can dream of such perfection. It just looked so amazing!!!

Go get a copy at amazon for 15$!! It's well worth it

signing out for another month....let's hope not ;D

ps. what's up with the ratatouille dvd not having commentaries!?!?!?!

So i have an idea for a new animation w/ my lil french guy and I need a little help developing this one acting scene.

He's at an outdoor cafe kinda thing and he's just day dreamin, observing ppl, bored. He sighs, looks around and then down to see his cup of coffee. He drops his hand holdin his head and shift his body a lil. He goes in and grabs his cup of coffee, twirls it and sips it, until he notices he's out. He tries to get the server's attention but then goes back to dazin of into the day dreamin world.

I just feel its unresolved and kinda dull, like u expect somethin to happen. But this is an ACTING piece so I dunno if it needs a lil touch of somethin. Let me know what u guys think :D

ps thats not the final lighting, it's just to show u guys what I'm workin w/. Next will be a quick lil animatic

K here's a guy I've been working on in modeling 2. I had fun texturing and playing around w/ making blin shapes for him.
heres a 2d sketch too ::

I wanted to model the hair for him, but the source image I used to create the text already had a beard so I just kept it. If I just wanted to make plain lambrent shaders then I would've created the hair... which is prob what will happen to him, or a home made text that looks painted on? who knows maybe an update during the break eh?

I'll prob do a body for him and use him for animation 2 :D

So after siggraph, I'm feeling more inspired and want to do more work so I can get better. So with that said, after talking to people about interns I thought heck, y not right? only problem is that I don't have that many animations, YET! for a reel after only taking one 3dmation class. Since my hours have been cut to 10 from 17 I have way more time to get some animation done.

so we got finals and i was loosin interest (and my mind) with my project and started posing this lil guy. And then i made the next pose and soon after i made an animation. I was readin the animation mentor newsletter (or somethin) and someone wrote that its a good idea to animate with the legs turned off and then turn em back on to finish up ur animation. Well i did that for the whole body, I would turn arms off, body, or even just one leg so i can concentrate more on the section im workin on. It's kinda like in 2d, where i would work on one part at a time. It was funn animating him. Oh and the rig is by Ramtin A., if u want this rig ill give the link out.

UPDATE 07/28/06

Due to awesome uploading to YouTube, here a link to a better resolution video, the timing and everything looks better. You will just have to right click and save. sry :/

so i finally decided to post some stuff here. while workin on one my animations for class i started doodlin and really liked this one sketch. He's totally made up but every time i look at him he looks like someone i know..but older ofcoarse...but i cant put my finger on it. Anyways, ive been recently just playin around face profiles, squashed/angled up/down/no chin/big forehead etc. Next might be face front, and play with shapes there. Do small forehead big jaw/big jaw small brain, etc. It's lots of funn :D
