This is something I had wanted to do for a while in honour of my mother and grandparents. It will take some time getting used to my new name and most of my past work will obviously still have "Saunders" embedded in to them which I can't change. It's not a big issue as I need to move forward and create new content anyway :)Aran Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06527614159610942596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725787476158459218.post-84912643048044246582016-12-05T13:55:00.000-08:002017-02-13T12:44:16.894-08:00Horse run cycleRun cycle animation, need to break it up so its not so "loopy"<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Created some artwork in photoshop for a change :) It's been a while since I tried!

Got some good feedback and agreed that my animation was way too tightened up! It looked almost like the girl is getting ready to fight instead of being excited to see someone!<br />
<br />
I'm happy with these more loose poses :D<br />

I will add some updates that are either unfinished works, WIPs and even artwork! Hopefully this will motivate me to do more personal work as I have been severely slacking in that department.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725787476158459218.post-17369951186108034552013-10-30T16:24:00.001-07:002013-10-30T16:24:06.151-07:00Dr FrankensteinOookay, it's been a while since my last personal project! I started doing a couple of little test anims but slowly lost interest in all that, mainly because I have started a job doing in game animations... So I'm a little bit tired of doing that sort of stuff. I miss cinematics >_< ... I think I like character animations too much!<br />
<br />
So yea... I've got hold of a good audio clip to animate to and with it being Halloween it gave me some ideas as to what to animate for it! Shame I only thought of it now and not earlier in time to animate for Halloween because it would have been perfect to put online at that time :( Oh well.. I'm still going to do it!<br /><br />The audio clip is quite crazy/over the top which is always fun to animate to :D<br />
<br />
Here are the face deforms for the characters so far! Going to set up a quick block of the set and I'll be ready to animate :)<br />

These are all 10 years old now!!! It's amazing to think it's been that long since I starting messing around with flash and then leading myself in to the field of animation :D aaah nostalgia! These are fan drawings I did of my favourite show at the time Dragonball Z! The other is of a stick man version of Street Fighter II The animated movie. These were not animated they were just fan art I did at the time :)

There are more versions but they all had very subtle tweaks so I just posted these 2 as they had the most change between them.

<br />
So as I was posing the character I left the hands in IK mode. At first I was going to change that but I got quite into it and decided to leave it in IK to see how different it would be in spline mode etc. As long as the hands don't freeze up suddenly it should look ok :)<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="500" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/61536587" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="889"></iframe> <br />

The reason for adding in the arms circling was that I thought it might make it look a bit more crazy! I wanted him to feel real worked up.<br />

<br />
However here I've lessened the arm motions as I found out it was too distracting. I think the dialogue gives you enough to understand his frustration. I think this works better now.

Was up late, feeling a bit artistic! <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Decided to have a go at creating some environmental art in flash! Went for a wintry aurora borealis sort of setting :) (All created in Flash CS4)</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I decided to have a play around with the Malcolm rigs face controllers just to get the animation juices flowing again. I wanted to try in-cooperate a more squashy feeling into the animation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is the 1st pass. Not much going on here.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dx2r6cnGGe-bnjb1QKI3tunRj5s2d-tF7MPVAhMKT5H-pxW1ylKCVkZXGSqMiETZKqTmlDo9G4gffxonrIlJQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is the 2nd pass, really tried to get a squashy feeling in the eyes and head. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyEfYXM45G8EvPp7wi2OiIcQxgYH2NnUK3LveleKMYxd_NUzDMRa4rHiy7q6nVTnuER56h8TqQXKB9UOIj_UQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I may add some more, maybe another head turn. As well as polish up on what I have, such as the jaw slowly drifting upward at the end. All in good practice though :)</div>

So I'm not too sure about doing it yet.<br />
<br />
However out of boredom I took the Morpheus rig and made a quick mock up morph of Karl :D<br />
<br />
The hair isn't right I know, I would like to get that short fine hair look and have it going just over the back near the top, but I have zero modelling/texture skills so unless anyone wants to teach me or do it for me then it will have to stay like that lol.<br />
<br />
Maybe temptation will get the better of me though and I might actually animate him!<br />

She is pretty much finished, just need to touch up on her hands/fingers and clean up her arcs a little bit.<br />
<br />
He just needs VERY basic animation, i'm probably going to try do a cycle on him I don't want him to distract too much.<br />
<br />
If I got time I'll animate her pony tail, it's good that i got the option to lose it and change her hair but i reeeaaally don't want to!<br />
<br />
Here's last nights progress!<br />

Here's what I am going to work on today - ARMS!, hands, adjusting body movements for the line "toilet thing" and facial animation. tomorrow I will focus on the male char he doesn't need to do all that much to be honest and of course her hair then. HOPEFULLY It will be to an acceptable standard I know for a fact it's not going to be as finished as I want it to be, there are so much improvements I could make but I just have see what I can get out of this now.<br />
<br />
Anyway check it out this was where I got to end of yesterday.<br />
