Nope, can't think of a title

Hey, been a while since I update.

Been working on my reel, wrote my Autodesk certification exams yesterday. passed all three

Autodesk Associate
Autodesk Professional Models to Motion
Autodesk Professional Surface and Look Development

Quite happy with that, though I maintain that certificates don't mean anything unless the work is good. So hopefully I can get a job in the industry when I leave Learn3D at the end of November.

Here are some snippets and shots of my animation, probably doesn't make much sense but i'm quite happy with it indeed.

Regards

Francis

Distant Echoes

Got a new project to show.

Started the project last Sunday, if memory serves. Was quite a learning curve but it came out alright I feel. Hoping to animate it for my Showreel, some camera and effects.

Been quite a week really, been down and out for the past while hence the lack of updates but coming back harder and faster than ever.

Just want  to say thanks to all those that helped me hammer out flaws at Learn3D and that made it possible for me to produce this in a short time period.


Hope you enjoy the wips and most of all the final product

Limey update

Still not happy about the reflectiveness on the eye. need to fix that when I get back to the project.

Yep, still alive.

Hello there.

Well, finished up limey. He's undergone a few changes in modelling and such, mostly I removed the map from the eye and actually modeled it out. Most of the work is done, 90% done or so, going to pick it up when it's time to put it all together.

Anyway, can't show you a new project on limey as i'm rendering out a previs for reference, but here's a screencap of all my save files :D

Should update with a new limey later,

See ya

Now with more Limey!

Been experimenting with Limey and Vray fast SSS 2, Got him more or less to where I want him to be.

The other renders seemed too much like ocean-water than A jelly-creature.

Anyway, hope you like it, been animating him solidly for the past 6 hours, the project is getting there slowly but surely.

I'm still alive!

What do you know, i'm still kicking, been stressed with college and some major misunderstandings with people.

But here's the continuation of the Wild 9 project, about set to animate him now, was battling with the unwrapping in Max, it's just too unfriendly for my liking so I decided to pick up Headus UV Layout.

Boy oh boy, what a treat! It's amazingly simple and very very friendly despite the retro-style interface.

Anyway, here's the wild 9 model unwrapped etc.  Sorry for the obtuse res, working on two monitors



Hope you like it

Regards
