Demo Reel Clean Up

Hey everyone, I'm Andrew Miller. Lately I've been wanting to clean up some scenes to have on my demo reel.  I feel like this piece could be a good reel scene because of the expressions/subtleties, but I never went back and finessed things or fixed bugs/pops.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. 

Poses Progress Week 5

Hey everybody, this is Danny Clark. I have no idea how many of us keep up with this blog, but I'm curious to see what anyone has to say about my progress for our poses assignment. Pretty much I'm going for a guy changing positions at his desk. I'm trying to do something a little more toned down and subtle. I also cut out some of the extra crap I had from last week, trying to streamline the motion to what is necessary to get the story point across. Hit me up with comments and thanks for helping me out! See you all in class on Wednesday.

Week 3

Just a reminder of what's due tonight

• Final Cycle
• Sketches/planning/reference of your 2 pose exercise

Some more clarification of the 2 pose exercise. The intent is to go from a held or static moment to another held or static moment. I'm not putting a lot of restrictions on it other than that. 

Some more potentially useful links.

• maya tools
• somewhat crappy quadraped cycle demo
• fixed norman (download link)
• Norman with more realistic proportions 
• Basic pose based blocking technique (stepped mode for beginners)
• 2011-12 based shelf (coming soon)

I don't hold any of these up as being anything terribly fantastic, but have helped me to fill in the gaps to a degree

The blog is back

I've revived this blog for Spring Animation 2

I'll kick this off with cycle reference soon.

great term

Thanks for a great semester - I really enjoyed seeing eveyone's progress this term.

Have a great break and do lots of drawing - I'm going to keep this blog live, but probably won't post much more on it other than some reel compliations, but it's here for you all to use...enjoy!

Thank you everyone and Merry Christmas

This has been a great semester with all of you and I thank you for all of the help that you have given.  Have a Merry Christmas and a safe trip home for those of you who are traveling.
