18th century high def dinosaur

Here's a dinosaur iv been working on for what feels like an age, finished animating it about a month ago and taken this long to render. There are a few little things that are glitchy that iv not noticed and will fix at some point, especially with the feet but i just want to shelve it for the moment and move onto something new!

Acting reference footage

So its been a while since iv posted anything, i have a dinosaur piece that i have been working on for a while but it's taking forever to render so i thought i would post this up for kicks!

It's my video reference for my office dialogue piece. After hours and hours and acting the lines out, these were the clips i went with to tell the narrative.

Idiot!


A short piece of dialogue from the American office again! love that show. would of liked to get a nice render, but lighting is a dark art which i cannot seem to get to grips with!

Boolean Tool!!












Mr Chad Ellis showed me the Boolean tool in Maya yesterday... greatest button ever!! So i had a go at modelling a set for my new piece. Really enjoyed doing it! It's nearly finished animation wise, I just need to render it and all that. But first... PORTUGAL!!

(I didn't model the chairs though... strictly the square stuff :D )

Parkour (again)



This is another parkour piece iv been working on the past couple of weeks. I wanted to add a little more of an exagerated feel to it after seeing Azerus Rising. It's hard not to get inspred after watching that! It still need's a gooood polish. Comments would be great!
