Model Update

We have a new version of the model and I must say, TIM IS AWESOME! I'm SO excited how he's turning out and he's looking exactly as I envisioned him :D (man I love those little shoes!)

WE HAVE MODEL!

Well the start of one at least ;)

Tim came through and has gotten a great start on my boy model! Yay Tim!

I am Loving how close to the original design he's able to stay and aren't those shoes and the sleeves/pants adorable? Oh I'm so very excited about it! :)

Rigger

I have found myself a rigger! I should have my model soon and then I'll cement plans with my rigger. Thank goodness. . . Wasn't much looking forward to doing it myself ;)

Small Update

So school will be starting back up, and I'll be working to finish my scene and hopefully get some lighting in as well. I should have a model near the middle of January (Thanks to the awesome Tim Dawson) and then I'll have to spend most of my time looking for help with the rigging and weight painting and then get the tricycle up and modeled. . . then it's on to the animating!

More Development

Other than working on my paper, here are some more images of the neighborhood I'm working on! More houses and as promised, Mailboxes! ;)

Coming soon: Pools, cars, and more houses

Neighborhood

Quick Update, here's the beginning of the neighborhood:



Now I've had two feelings about the fact that the roofs are blue. Some think it's too unrealistic, others love it and say to keep it. Any thoughts?

Thesis Characters

Here are my sketches of my Thesis characters:



If all goes well, the wonderful artist and a long time, long distance friend Tim Dawson may be helping me by modeling these characters. Some examples of his work (both illustrative and animation) can be found here: Sycle.deviantart.com


Here's a preliminary model for the neighborhood house I'll be using in the animation:

I'm doing all the environment modeling, and currently working on variations of this house as well as color tweeking.
