finished animations

With our animations finished we did a batch render with lighting and a background shader on the surface in order to achieve the ambient occlusion effect we wanted in our finished showreel.

Once the batch renders were finished we took them into adobe after effects so that we could create our own avi's and our finished showreel ready for submission.

theo also managed to figure out some of the transition effects so that we could give the showreel something to jazz it up a bit so to speak.

primary research

Here I have some primary research on my characters movements give or take some might be a little different then what the final outcome will be but they will only be slight difference i'm still happy that i'm on track with what I have.

dodge final

The playblast seems a bit fast but hopefully it will come out a bit better in the final editing, here I have the final make of the dodge animation not quite what I had aimed for but none the less i'm pleased with what I have.

dodge animation

here I have a quick playblast of the dodge animation this is not the finished animation as there is still alot of tweaking to be done

walk animation

here is a quick playblast of my walk animation im not sure if it seems a bit fast but i seem to be falling behind on time so i will begin on my dodge animation and have a consultation with sam once term starts again

idle extended playblast

following the previous post here I have a quick play blast of the extended idle now of course there are some bits and pieces that need to be done but this is still the initial phase of the pose (blockout) so there is still a good amount of work to be done to it but i think this really puts across the idea of how the character portrays himself.

extended idle

Here I have some images depicting the extended idle for my character, the extended idle is basically depicting the character tying his cuff links and straightening his jacket then resuming his pose seen in the idle part of the character.

the idea of this pose is really to put across that he's an upstanding upper class person who is snobbish and looks down his nose through everyone which i think really captures the essence of what pride can represent in society
