Okay, so district 9 (the new peter jackson film) looks amazing. Check out this IO9 article on it.
also, the special effects are rocking. I really want to make creatures like that.

Nothing to post for myself at the moment, but I found this weird commercial while browsing web comics. I think it’s still a few years old, but I was entertained.
Well here we go. First post and all. Hopefully, I will be faithfully updating (as in every other day or so) with all the new stuff I’m working on (or have been working on)
To start you out, here’s the little ball guy animation from last week’s deliverable. The assignment was to do a regular walk cycle, and some other kind of walk/emotion. My server doesn’t seem to want to let me upload my walk cycle, but here is the stair master ball guy (also known lovingly as “chicken legs”):

This is from our previous big project- in which I combined both 2D & 3d Animation. There’s no music as yet (though my composer friend indicates that he might have a chance to get to it this week). The environment was modeled & textured entirely in Maya, utilizing the toon shader (and layered textures, and hours upon hours of work to make it look like toony rock…), while the animals were all hand drawn (by yours truly) in photoshop & put together with the 3D in flash. It took a long time.
