W.I.P 2007 Mini Cooper S

so here is the progress of my Mini Cooper Model. Been spending alot of time on the front making sure that all squared away and all the pieces are connected properly.

I've never done a car model before so this being my first attempt I did it the way it seemed logical to me which was make all the main panel pieces then connect them together, then I will mirror the otherside and I'll have a whole car.

anyway here's some pictures...

UPDATE 9/1/09: Got a bit more done on the car which makes it look like it's coming together.

Site Update

I updated my website with a couple new stills and a videos section. Right now videos only has a test I had done for a fan film but plan to get more up in that section.

Current WIPS:

Car Model, 2007 Mini Cooper S
Animation Exercise....

Walk Exercise

here is the exercise I've been working on, this is only the second walk I've done since animating and think it came out much better then the first.

It's still in blocking phase moving into final clean up but wanted to post my progress on it.

Short Film Continued....

Alright pretty much have it worked out what the short is going to be about.

Before I jump into it I'm in the process of doing an animation exercise, after which I'll dive into heavy shot planning. I'll be posting the exercise soon...

Short Film

after talking to a friend of mine about an animation idea I had and thinking about it some more I decided to develop it a bit more into a short. I'm planning on it being a silent short so I can work more on pushing the animation and acting.

Currently planning it out into shots and so it makes sense :)

will post when I have more to share on it.

Poses...

Sorry for the lack of updates, had some things come up but gonna get back to updating this I wanna say at the very least once a month if not more.

Anyway on the 11 Second Club forums someone came up with the idea of doing a weekly pose session where an emotion is given and you take and pose a character in said position. The starting one was Sad....

this is what I came up with











With some comments that I recieved this is the updated version and an actual render from maya after playing around with rendering options and lighting.





























Update 1/26/09:

Some more Flipbook Practice

Here is another Flipbook rampup exercise which is a ball rolling on a hill. Since the Holidays are coming up and I'll be off work I'm intending to get some things done so I should have some new stuff to show when I get back.
