Some Computer Animation Stuffs

More Sophomore Semester 1 stuffs!

Here's some of the Computer Animation assignments! I have always wanted to improve my animating skills (plus rigging and modeling), so the assignments came in useful... very useful...! These two assignments are the major ones...(we also did some bouncing balls and a scary penguin modeling)!

Okay, meet Patchy, a friendly patchwork dino!
We focused on simple polygon modeling (no arms and neck). Also, we did jump, walk and turn animation.

Aaand, here's Timmy, the tiny boy. This is one of our earlier assignments, so the models and rigs are simple! I couldn't wait for Christmas, so the whole thing is Christmassy.... You should watch this with the sound on!

 

It's Winter Break!!

Hello everyone! One of our busiest semesters is over, and it is now time for a well-deserved break!
Which also mean that it's time to upload my works from Ringling...!


Here's some of my Traditional Animation 2 stuffs..... Come to think of it, this is gonna be the last time we are doing traditional animation... I sure learned a great deal about timing, arcs, stretch and squash, exaggeration, etc from it.... Despite all the time constraints, paper cuts, and pain, it's worth it!

Anyway, here's Johnny, the Jock. He got his first breakup letter, so he's sad :)

Here's a small fun poodle walk... I remember feeling extremely worried about animating a quadruped walk for the first time... but it's done!



And here's our final assignment, the dance (you might want to turn down the volume of your computer... the music is loud!).... Each person got a portion of a song to animate, and we have to make sure that our animation link seamlessly (or almost) from one person to another. Everyone was in a mad rush to finish the many assignments out there during the final week... so it was crazy! This is my portion... I hope that someone uploads the full version with everyone's dances! 

Panana the Happy Monkey

In semester two, we started our traditional animation class... and it was pretty intense!
We did a bunch of bouncing balls and flour sacks before moving on to our own characters.
In a lucky draw, I got a monkey, so here's Panana... the happy monkey!
Panana is simple-minded and bouncy. He likes bananas.

Here's a happy walk cycle (actually, he's kinda skipping):

 

 And here's one where he jumps to get some bananas:

 

I am glad that I did a happy character, because he kept me happy during those sleep deprived moments...!
