watched Michael Moore's first wide released documentary today called Roger & Me it was eye opening to how much GM sucks so i was inspired to make this doodle.

Kurrents saliva splatter

and a really short animation
more to come

Leaves

Yay!!! got leaves now. this is just a quick test render but wanted to get the news out there haha

wooo hooo foliage

trees! or well tubes but hey its a start!

Hey everyone its been too long sorry for the lack of updates, and after my long silence i dont even bring much to show... the shame. haha well anyway here is what ive been working on today, my friend created for me a branch creation script. I have been figuring out exactly how ill use it. You cant see in the stills but they move pretty cool i think hope to post a vid soon. I know no leaves yet but hopefully they will be there soon and i can get the big ending of my thesis figured out. that will be a big relief.

i also finally got to making blends for Kurrents eyes been meaning to do that for a long time.

k thats it for now hope alls well with everyone else

back home

Hullo i have now moved back into my house on Long Island and ive settled in, the computers set up and i am back to working on thesis, preparing for the long haul that will be the next two months. I moved back to make my life simpler. Had a great time in Brooklyn living with my room mates(and lola) / getting away from long island and the parental rule. Living with artists was sweeeet we had a collaborative dry erase board, marty posted some pics of it, chck it out:


next post will be a thesis one promise.

style

not much to report just playing with the style, i like the energy of this one but the characters are kinda over blown and occlusion shadows arent accurate to the lighting, i got it through playing around with an occlusion pass and a straight maya render...tinker tinker

Hey hope everyone has had a great break, im here posting the only animation i did over the break which i did today...not as far along as thought i might be, but thats okay. Warren is all set up finally with his facial blend shapes which im happy about.

great animation to watch for those that dont like Kurrent ive just been watching him get pummled over and over all day i kinda feel bad for him. Oh and he isnt animated yet.

poor Kurrent
