Animation Test

This is a quick test render of the rigged bug drone character. Im pretty happy with how its looking so far.

Ive begun modeling various Props for my film.

Most of these Props are all items that will be located on the city street (Street light, signs, trash cans, dumpster) and various kinds of barricades and fences.

So I should probibly be spending my time modeling otehr things and fixing my board... but instead I decided to work more on this guy cuz Im jsut excited to almost have him finished!

The Arms are all now rigged adn functional. The next step is to set driven keys for the claws to open and close. Then hes pretty much finished!

The modeling for my bug-drone robot thing is finished! the next step for him is to do the rigging. Looking forward to being able to animate with it :)

Here are a few early looks at my progress in making the robots/battle mechs for my film. These will be in my film's battle sequence and a chase scene.

A) Concept sketch of Mech Walker

B+C) Modeling Mech Walker in Maya

D) Early modeling and texture/render test of Bug Drone

Hi There!

Soooo it begins......

Senior year is underway, and I've already tried getting a good head start on my thesis. Its already the second week of school and May seems far away, but I know it will creep up fast. Over the next coming months I'll be using this blog to post updates on my progress and share things from my thesis. I'm really excited to start working!!! I just hope I can keep that same enthusiasm for the rest of the year.

Please feel free to always leave comments and critiques of whatever I post. An outsiders perspective is always helpful, and I wanna make sure I'm doing my best.

Thanks!
