The Final Post

this year has been a very inlightaning expirence for me I have learned alot from my group members and what it is like to work as a team Im going to continue on working on animation of my own but will look back at this year with fond toughts >_<.

Ram BlendShapes

This is the ram model i had been working on it was just a test i had done of only a few blend shapes I desided to stop when moe who was working on one had finished befor me so it made more sence for me to work on somthing else at the time but if had spent a little more time perfecting it, it could have been quite a nice little model.

Last few posts

Im just going to put on the last few posts i have forgoten to do over this year its just some stuff i have had hanging around for a while.

Chain and flag Test

This is a test of how the flag and chain would fair together there was no problems importing the the cain to the flag but it was an nusance tring to get the cain to act right with the pole it took a while to find the the correct settings in the attributes of the hair deformer I used to make the chain act so but got there in the end.

chain test

This is a test os an IK handle for hair I have created it to give the flag a more realisic affect by giving it a chain or rope blowing in the wind but this is just a test of its limits.

Flag Final

This is just a final animation of the flag deformer ive applied textures of rust to the pole and the national flag of somalia

This is just more footage from the water pump scene i forgot to put them on the blog

Flag test

I thought that the project could do with a flag or two in different styles and shapes so this is just a quick test

this is a new part of the story for moes project i was given last min

ive had a bit of trouble with maya keep crashing that was a pain i

think it was somthing to with the the dynamics in the scene but i just had

to save it constantly

late work

ive just been given some work from moe and charlie to do at short notice and have to model some objects very quickly charlie has spesified that i do some models of a grenade and a roket lancher to be used in a new scene which has a small shack exploding charlie is working on the dynamics and im on the animation and model side of things. things seem to be going well and the work looks good hopfully this new scene will give the film a bit of danger to the mix.

This is the tooth pulling scene animated and coloured in this was quite and agravating scene as the hair was cut off by the photo copier what a pain >_<

plus i have done a still painting of mourts mouth i've tried to in keep with the movies style but tried to make it look a bit more detailed in the colour and shading tecnique but making it look a bit more gross as well there is a darker vesion and a lighter one

For the animation on the prof I have had to learn illistrator and flash to the extent of vectoring, colouring and frame rate I first started out with illistrator by getting the scans of the drawings and then making them into a vector then put them in to flash as the vector drawing will not get distortionate if you make them bigger and then it was just a case of fiding the right frame rate for each drawing.

Out house

just a very quick model of an out house

Chicken Coop

this is a chiken coop for the models of chickens which moe has done so they dont look out of place Plus using different textures i've given it a more wartorn fell than the rustic look you mostly get.

Shed

This is the same model just with a fire dynamic for when the gang attacks happen i had to tern down the fire intencerty to stop it looking like a blazing fire I just want a little bit of fire >_<

I've modeled a kind of shed/garage shanty shack which we can put next to a larger structure to bring out the vastness of the other structure

Light Fall Test

New Story Parts

Me and moe had an idea to perk up the water pump part of the story as it seemed the weekest part so we disided to give it more perspective by going into the water pumps perspective and using it as a kind of snipers scope to zoom in on the action to give it that more war feel.

broken Car model

for some reason my car model I had done has just got messed up i dont know why but I have to spend some time fixing it what a pain

Playblast of Water Pump Scene

i have been a bit confused of late becouse i dont think moe can deside on what anmatic to use as thay are both very good but he does need to make his mind up as some of the animation is differet and i dont want to waste my time doing something that wont be used but i have done a play blast of the water pump scene ad it looks ok

This is an animation test of the tooth pulling scene and it has seemed to turn out all right little bit of tweekin here and there it should be fine

Hotel Model

I was watching the film lord of war and saw an itresting building which i thought would look good in moes project

Deco Tea Pot

A model of a deco tea pot im gonna make a hole tea set

Palet Model

I was in work the other day and thought to model a palet because it has all different objects that I can seperate and duplicate to fill up an enviroment its not finished but this is the genral idea

TV model

I have modeled an old retro 60/70 tv from a picture i found on the net plus i have done a remote designed from the old 70's tv from my childhood at my mums house

Car Final

The same car just with wheels and some other small parts to make it look more realistic

Another Car Final

This is another car in the style of the 2o's/3o's I really want to model a car from the 70's as it is my favorite point in modern history a car like the mark 3 ford cortina would be nice but with this one I have just done the body and left it as a sell for the junk yard scene.
