The wonderful web

Im sure everyone has figured this out already, but online there are literally thousands of free tutorials online!!!
QUALITY!
If i have a chance, i def will have to have a play about and use some tutorials to see if they help raise the quality of my animations.

3dsmax animations

Little bored so i was having a butchers at peoples animations on www.youtube.com.

Short Animation

This is a short animation with a character developed from original sketches.
I used this animation, again, as another chance to play around using different cameras.
This animation uses 4, however i deleted one file after there was no need for the footage it caught (poor placement on my behalf maybe...).

As with the other animations, it is only the final edit i have uploaded, not each camera view.

Idea generation 2....




Above are screenshots, from one idea that i moved onto the computer. I found that when creating the alter ego i had to alter the shape and size of some parts.

I think that by swtiching between sketching and computer workings i will be able to reach a solution to problems like these quicker.

The above images are also screenshots of the animation which i will upload shortly.

Idea generation


Ive upoaded an image of some of my inital sketches and developments of my character.

I am currently still thinking of ideas, but soon plan on moving onto the actual creation of my alter ego.

Nice

You can make cool little images too!!



Lovin this programme!

Camera's..again

This is same as the last clip but i have used two cameras, ive also tried to add a background to give the animation some sense of 'atmosphere'.

i didnt bother uploading each of the camera's views, only the final edit.

Cameras

I am now currenty playing about with the cameras in 3ds max and am tryin to make an animation, while making a camera, maybe more than one, move around and zoom in\out.

This clip is only using one camera, the actuall build is kinda poor, but as i say i was only thinking about the camera.

Animation play about

All the seminars for autodesk are now finished, i feel that i am slowly getting used to using the programme and i'm becoming more confident in experimenting with different settings, features etc...

With this short clip i was playing about with animating a whole character, to get used to linking the correct parts etc..

Second Life

Second life is well under way now, i have created a new blog for my diary entries.
