Finally!! This project brought a lot of challenges, but we did it! The train was designed by Lenni Graves. The model and rig was done by myself in maya 8.5. And the animation and special effects were done by Dave Thornfield.
I'm currently working on a freelance project for the school. This is just a test shot to see how the train looks in its environment. The train design was done by Lenni Graves. I was responsible for translating it into 3D using Maya, texturing, and rigging (which I'm still currently working on).
One more turn around. This is the character that I did a while back, with a more entertaining turn around for reel purposes... which go out tomorrow! Hopefully the hard work will pay off. Design, model, rig, and animation done in Maya by my self.
Another one of my characters. The animation is already getting a little better. It was brought to my attention that this character had no facial features. Well, a little bit of surgery and voila! All work here is by my self.
I've been putting reels together and decided to animate turn arounds of my characters. This is the lion from my film. The animation isn't too great but I'm a little rusty.
This is a project that I started a couple month ago. It's taking me a while because I'm going crazy on the detail (see bottom picture). I'm also working on the interior and stickers. Very labor intensive, but quite fun. All work done by Amelie Pourtau in Maya.
