poseTest [sc.18]

a quick pose test
seems like the painted weights are controlling the geometry just fine

blendShape Choir

i think that 27 facial blend shapes should be sufficient for my short. thank god that bit is over. upnext ... the set, the props, and a layout playblast of all the shots. stay tuned production is about the begin.

Firefly Poly Model

Henry & Chris Rig

the following are my character's skeletal and rig setup, which include:

1. IK/FK Arms and Legs
2. (relatively) Stretchy Arms and Legs
3. Stretchy Tongue

nothing too elaborate or complex. i think it will be enough for my animation purposes.

.Henry.

Although Christopher is no longer part of the story, as he was initially in the concept stage, never the less i had the character rigged and weights painted before i decided to cut him out of the story.

.Chris.

Eyes!

well i got the eyes done! the colour of the iris is still not final but that is easily adjusted.

POLY Models

here are the final (smoothed) Polygonal models of Henry, Christopher and the Pail

Final Rough NURBS Models

well i started modeling, at least roughly, the main characters by modifying NURBS Spheres.
now that i have a main idea blocked in, the characters size relationship established, it is time to move on to the Polygonal Modeling stage and add detail to these characters.
hope you like them! feedback is greatly appreciated!

Frog Sketches

here are a few sketches of frogs i drew up over the summer in search for the two main frog characters

these next two drawings, i thought, represented the two character types the best


(Tyrone from Backyardigans escaped onto this page)

Rough Model Pass

so this is christopher, a little different i guess from the initial nupastel drawing i did, but certain characteristics do still remain.

unfortunately since i dont have a scanner at home i can't yet post any sketches that have led me to creating christopher in the image that you see here. but when i will get a hold of a scanner well then all will be revealed.

The Great Escape

these 2 frogs are the very first conceptualization for my 4th year film. more to come once i start working on the story.

Immortal King Story Sketches

here are some more treatments and explorations for the short that got scrapped by the group

Cirque Clown

First inspirational sketch after witnessing the magic of Cirque Du Soleil in Paris, France.
(the Saltimbanco logo was my attempt at copying the original one)
