These are my screen shots of my finished one Minuit animation, now all is left to do is finish the sounds and it will be posted on here shortly.

Heres another test for my animation, this time running............

This week i have carried on animating my robots and this is a test sample iv created of my robot now he is rigged up.

So here i am testing my models for my animation.

Heres my characters side by side so i can show you a size comparison.
The girl is much larger then the boy, which makes him feel uneasy and hasn't quite realised how much the girl really likes him :D

meet Robo Girl!
Shes my lady character for my animation! :D

So here's my maze so far which will be used as a base for my 1min animation. I'm currently working on making it more realistic, first I thought about leaves on the floor and decided I would try some diff rent ways of creating this the first thing I did was create tiny 3d leaves in 3Ds Max and cloned them several times but once I had done it I found the program got slower due to the poly count going up enormously. this wasn't going to work.
Then as I was walking back to my car today I noticed the ground was a similar pattern to the texture I used in my model, and as its Autumn the ground was covered in leaves.
I then used this image as my texture. Next my plan is to develop the maze trees and give them a more realistic look...

toy train animation

Heres just a short animation of a toy train iv made.

For my Bolts and Banana's project I have decided to base my animation in a maze.
Starting which two characters the girl first being large and robotic and the boy small and more frail robotic characteristics.
This will result in a frantic race around the maze with the boy running and leaping over fences while the girl can barge her way straight though each wall effortlessly.
When starting my project I began by looking into slapstick comedy such as the Charlie Chaplin films and Mr Bean sketches.
I instend to expand on these idea's as the process goes on.

Rhett & Link.

Stop motion video.

I just found this on youtube n wow some of these look incredible realistic.
I believe they were created by a man called Jamie Walton, i cant find much other information about him other than hes a talented 3d artist.
Enjoy!

Iv just found this video on youtube and wanted just to add a quick note on here as im interested in the style of this video. i will use the links of realistic and surreal for inspiration when planning my 3d project.

Im currently working though my 3dsmax Foundation book n so far have made this today still got a bit more to go but its getting there :D

My Secret Lair

When receiving the brief the first thing that went through my mind was who would my super hero be?
But then i thought to myself this could be about anyone so i thought to myself and later on decided to incorporate the styles of Kim possible Disney's teen super hero. For my other influences i looked toward thunder birds, Lady Penelope's home which gave me the idea of creating a futuristic lair, having decided the type of lair i was going to create i wanted it to be floating Rather then a fixed restricted or underground destination, I began to think about lady Penelope's car and came up with the idea of using a teleportation system Rather then a car which would be traffic bound and have necessary journeys in futuristic time.

My Secret Lair

My Secret Lair.
Okay so here it is finished finery...lol
this project hasn't been the easiest thing to do but iv really enjoyed creating it and feel i would love to keep expanding my knowledge of virtual environments and animation :)when creating my project i kept in mind a modern style which i feel i was able to maintain though out. when constructing the animation i realised that because i had set out several island settings i would of find it easier to use a free standing camera Rather than a camera on a frame, to do this i had to poision my camera for every shot which also meant that i got the best angles of exactly what I wanted to show. This project would have to be the most time consuming but it would also of been made favorite as I enjoy virtually constructing objects and scenes. Over all i am very happy with the work i have produced as this is the first time iv ever used 3D Studio Max.

Pixars 10 film UP, and no surprise that it set the bar to a world class standard again, Pixar currently by my opion and many others create the best 3d films of all! right down to the tiny details.

so iv just seen the film Up by Pixar and have to say i loved it! :) the level that 3d has been used is incredible right down to the detail of the Cotton stitched on badges on the boys Sacha.

Gini & Pixar!
