Drawing for Animation Final

We designed our own characters, drew the extremes and then traded with another person to do the inbetweens. Here is the animation that I inbetweened.

Character Interaction

So, we had to draw up 5 different human characters and then pick two of them to animate and interact with each other. Here's mine.

Snowman

Assignment was to animate something in XSI/Softimage, here's what I decided to do.

Street

Assignment was to do something with lighting and texture in Maya, I chose to animate it and do this. I plan on going back and editing it and adding a few more background type things.

Barbwire Fence

Assignment was to animate a man climbing through a barbwire fence, we had to use 3 different camera angles, 4 expressions and there had to be some sort of motivation.

Tall Man Small Boat

Assignment was to animate a tall man trying to row a small boat, he had to go through 4 emotions and have some sort of conflict.

Lights and Texture

Here are some images of a couple scenes that I made while messing around with lighting and texture in Maya

This is the same scene as the above image, just from a different angle and I went crazy with color and texture.

This one was a lot of fun, the texture mapping of the box was a little confusing though.

Walking With a Purpose

The assignment was to have a character walk onto the screen, react to something, display 5 different emotions and then walk off the screen. We had one week to complete it.

Bouncing Ball 2

A more hardcore version of the first bouncing Ball.

Bouncing Ball

My first attempt at computer animation. I used Maya software for this.

Silhouette

My first assignment for Drawing for Animation. The assignment was to draw 5 different action silhouettes and then pick one to animate.

Final Project for Animation I

This is my final project from my first animation class. As of right now it is just a pencil test, I plan on taking a class in the future that will allow me to take an existing PT and put it into the computer to be finished.

Metamorphisis Final Product

Here is the Metamorphisis project with color.

Metamorphosis Pencil Test

The assignment was to bring in a photo, sketch it and then morph it into the photo that the person sitting next to you brought in.

Yarn On-Stand Animation

Here is my first animation ever! Using on-stand technique and yarn as my subject.

Animation Blog

Ok, so I figured since I have a blog dedicated mostly to running I should start one that I can post all of my animation and programming projects on.

Enjoy!
