Croquis

Brushing up on my croqui skills.
I've gotten a bit rusty but some new things came out of it so not all is lost.

Darn.. way to long time since an update.. okay.. let me bring you up to date:.

I've had a nice long spring brake and now I've gotten settled in nice and snug on my 3ed year of KAU.

and good news too.. we have had our batchler pitches chosen there was alot of cool ideas from my class-mates and my own pitch went well... so well in fact that it got sellected as one of the 6 to be made, WOo!

so yeah.. at the moment I'm working on a short-film in cobenhagen for 2 months, but after that I'm starting on the batchler

(Note: I made the idea with my good frind Rokur and we'r making it together.. and we got 2 helpers too)

3D Animation_Exam_2008

This years exam assignment, we had one week to do it... Its not all perfect, and I will be working on it later, for my reel, but this is what I handed in.

I've bin studying 3D animation for 1 year now, and before that I did 1 year of 2D animation.

PS: I passed...The total score of my exam was 54 which corresponds to 7 on the Danish grading scale :)

Game making - Eskimotion

Right, so for the last month I've bin working on my very first computer game as an animator,
although it was not a game meant for the market.

the game is called Eskimotion and you play a little Inuit who is trying to save his little-sister from the evil Yeti King.




in order to save you're sis you'll have to run, slide and jump through an icy tunnel that is the Yeti Kings lair, avoid giant blocks and spikes of ice and collect peaces of you're sister's broken neck less,
chasing you is a giant snowball, so make sure not to hit the blocks/spikes or the snowball will gain on you and roll you over.

the experience was very nice and I was on a really nice team,
the time we had for making this game (intended for 8 year olds) was one month

we used 3D Studio Max for all the animations and I was working together with a friend from KAU and the engine used was Source withs is also used for Half Life 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2

Rigging Crontrols

there, got the crontrols done for my bird guy

the only thing not working is the IK_arm but I still have it there so I can add it later

it took some time, but I desided to spend some extre time on shaping the "curves" of the crontrols.

also I had to redo the arms a few times... anyhoo, here is a pic

(the red lines are the crontrolers and the gray on the screen-left is the bones and the gray on screen-right is the model itself)

Monster mash

Here is 2 monsters I did in class as we talked about rigging last week. just having fun with fat, hehe
