Basic Rigging

Additional to my previous blogpost about the 4 small animations I followed a set of videolectures provided by my school to create the following rig. I was also supposed to provide a simple walk animation. 

I made it an angry walk cycle.

I'm currently working on a more complex rig (image below) but I'm running into an issue regarding the spine. I've started rebuilding it just now. This rig is also being built following a different set of videolectures also provided by my school.

That was it again. Simply keeping track of projects as time goes by.

Kind regards,

Four Basic Animations

I'm updating this blog way less often than I wish I could but things don't always progress at the pace I'd like them to. Regardless, here is an update anyway. We're finishing up on the cinematic project and I'm getting my stuff together to finally round up some retakes... Finally...

Still bugfixing but nearing the final product.

Some basic animations for a retake course. Nothing too impressive.

Learned to work with keys and graph editor.

 Only picture I have right now of some graphite sketching.

I know.. I'm doing it wrong.

WIP drawing with charcoal.

Will probably finish this somewhere in the next few weeks.

Kind regards,

Portfolio revamp

I finished up on the drawing I posted a wip of a while ago and am going to make a final one for a retake assignment before the end of this school year (June). Next to that I rigged some more on a model provided by a teacher, completely redid my portfolio website with a close friend and I'm finishing up on some personal prop work. All of which is view-able below.

Work for the cinematic is coming to an end so I'll post the end product here soon.

It looks horrible because I didn't scan it (A2; too big for my scanner)

I'm planning on using my Sony camera for a portfolio image.

Curtains!

Cinematic Scene Video Update

Finally some moving images are ready for showing. Everything is sort of done but still needs tweaking, polishing and obviously some bugfixing. But for now this is what I can show you.

The video is hosted on my team lead's YouTube channel. I guess the final product will be uploaded there as well.

Kind regards,
Pim Hendriks

ps. I'm currently delving into rigging and crosshatching (again). Expect more of that.

Cinematic Scene Update 1.5

This is the last dump I'm going to post of the cinematic we're working on until it is completely finished. The final image will include rendering at a high resolution, compositing, post processing and of course music and sfx. For the latter we are working together with a German student. This is his SoundCloud.

As you can see our scene currently renders for 1 minute average per frame. This roughly translates to a little over a day of render time in total.

Cinematic Scene Update

As mentioned in this format before; a group of people (including me) are working on a cinematic that so far has been fairly fruitless since we were unable to show actual scenes with our characters, let alone animations and proper lighting. It's far from finished, but here are some wip renders incl. render times.

 Both characters included, no textures.

 Missing wall lamps. More props are being made.

 Marty having another drink.

(I feel the lighting behind the bar could be greener)

Kind regards,

Pim

Edit: I found some old drawings but I don't see them fit in another post, so I made an imgur album.

Happy belated holidays

I hope you had a nice Christmas and a happy year turn. I sure had.

Rounding up some projects, writing documents so little to no pictures, however, I've decided I'm going to pick up on drawing. Haven't been doing that enough.

Rose, A5, crosshatching
