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.
