Zombie Character

Here's some of the blendshapes I worked on for my character
(Blenshapes are basically the expressions the character will use in the film and can be turned on and off)

Here's a preview of things I've modeled for the thesis so far! Some are colored, some not. Basically these are some of the 'additions' that the boys are going to be loading up their bikes!

Animatic!

I finally have my animatic for the film finished and I'm pretty happy with it!

PLEASE NOTE:
~An Animatic is like a rough draft. Being such, it's very limited animation, the colors/textures are not correct, and the model isn't quite finished.

~The boys heads will not be different colors, the 'blond' one will actually have different hair and a different outfit.

~Obviously since the Character/rig is not finished there are no real facial expressions, that will change.

~Hopefully even though it's rough, the idea of the story will show through.

Enjoy!

We have Rig!

Everyone say hi! We officially have a rig for my little guy! It's still not completely skinned and the face still needs to be finished (though Jason is working on it) but other than that. . . WE HAVE MOVEMENT! :)

Tricycle Progress

So I'm working on Modeling the tricycle and figured I'd put a WIP image up for whomever wants to see it ;) It'll probably go through a bunch more changes and of course it's unfinished, but it's coming together pretty well so far :)

More small updates

I figured I'd upload a nicer version of my Thesis setting, with houses on both sides and everything!

I'm currently working on finding a rigger, and I have to say I'm very stressed out because of the horrible length of time the character has taken to get modeled. Don't get me wrong I really love how it turned out and appreciate all the help I got from Tim and am still getting from Jason but geez! It's been what, 6-9 months? o.o so I have some major time to catch up on.

Another Small Update

First and foremost I believe I have found a working title for my film: Life Cycle. Seeing as it's about tricycles I thought it was clever ;)

Secondly after many jittery months on my part I'm looking at the soon finish of my model! My Friend and Professor Jason Maurer (Co Director and Co Writer of the recent movie Delgo as well as one of the heads of Fathom Studios) Will be tweeking and finishing my model (Mostly adding eyes) so it will finally be ready for rigging!

On my side of the work, I'm going to be (finally) putting together an animatic for the film, as well as modeling the tricycle with it's many additions.
