DinoSlapFight 11 03 16

Another month... So another update on what I have so far on the DinoSlapFight!

With a temporary Jurassic Park soundtrack in the background for kicks :)

From Rusty Gray's Memorable Animator course.

Therefore/But Story Breakdown:

TRex2 is hungry and -therefore- wants TRex1’s food -but- TRex1 does not want to share -therefore- there is a challenge stare-off, and an unavoidable epic (slap) fight.

After much txting, emailing, and Skyping with a friend (who was so awesomely cool and willing to help), got my first simple idle and run animation in UE4!!! https://vimeo.com/168546138
Now...did I retain everything that was taught to me? .............. that's not the point! Let's focus and the first successful maya to UE transfer!

May the 4th be with You ... (belated)

A Char Close Up - Emotion Change - blocking02 - 03.15.16

Promised a friend I'd post something by the end of the week.

It's an earlier version of the current assignment I'm working on, but I felt this video would be better to post first to show what I'm going for.

Been studying and practicing Run Cycles. One of the toughest things to animate (at least for me).

Putting Tai Chi Rays on hold, and started working on the assignment 4 for CGTarian. This was one of the first passes.

Back to animating my custom Morpheus!
