I had to post this. I had no idea that one could achieve this painterly look in 3D. Love the moody and surreal feeling to it.

Line Tests (3)

In this one there are a few in-betweens (especially on the bird hop) to figure out the movement. The whole group film is going to be done in 3ds Max.

Line-tests (1)

This is the first of a few line tests with the main keys and some break-downs to get a better sense of the overall timing of the individual shots (based on an animatic I made). They are all for the group film I'm working on in college at the moment.

Happy New Year!

 Here's a walk-cycle I've spend way too much time on... I've decided to add that extra bit of personality to it by having him (the same D.T. rig) waving to someone off screen.
As for the process it's like with any walk-cycle: contact, down and passing positions and from there on the magic is in the Curve Editor all the way.
It took me a while to get the right arm waving fluidly and to keep it natural to its arc but I think it's not too far off.

Pre-Production Test

I'm practicing a bit with a Digital Tutor rig for a short film in college (I'm going to use different rigs for that later on).
I started working pose to pose and since I've only 2 main poses, I used the graph editor as soon as I was happy with them.

The first video has only the main poses and the second video is the final tweaked version.
