The Big Project

Heres a little preview of my big summ,er project, with one area mostly complete save for finalising textures and lighting on the character this is what the film when made should look like



Its still very much a work in progress, the test animation I posted earlier will happen in this room.. i'll upload more still images over the coming weeks... Espio still has a sword i've yet to include in textured renders and a bike.. A nice Honda DN-01 the Kamen Rider Decade Bike for those you want to see it in use you know what to search for.. its a nice scooter/motorbike hybrid.

Another Test

Heres another quick test with a model of the Sonic the Hedgehog series character Espio, i'm doign an animation with this model so I had to see what kind of moves it could do, The model was given too me however this has been heavily altered from teh original version, and a compleatly new rig added.



As you can see the model doesn't hold up well to crouching movements, but it does seem to be able to carry out fluid ones with stretched out limbs.. due to the long legged neture of the character its probably not possible to change the legs without making teh character appear out of proportion

You can view a higher quality version in the animations section

Wolf Animation Test

One of my friends supplied me with a little model he designed for me to play around with, so i created this little run cycle for the prupose of testing the model and the rig.



Thanks for Morgan for the model, without him i'd have to have used my wolf model.. which sucks in comparions cause its not an awesome robot lol

Anyway enjoy

Updating Work

At uni were always advised to revisit old projects to see how we can change them with what weve learned over time, so i decided to revisit my lego scorpion, while the model was detailed heavily the textures were supbar, I used mental Ray to give it a whole new look, as well as make a nice little pond for it to walk around in
