Animation Challenge on CGTalk – Finalising

After I was away from the computer for few days, I finally managed to finalise the animation challenge piece for the CGTalk website.
Few more poses were taken out to simplify the animation. To top it up I added some more blinks and tweaked the eye movementin order to improve the tension.

Here it is, any feedback or comments are welcome.

Animation Challenge on CGTalk – Refining

Here is the spline pass for animation challenge #7 on CGTalk.

I modified and changed the walk cycle and the timing of the reaction by the red character. I took out few of the poses as it was overpowering and a little too distracting from the main action of the character to the left.

Animation Challenge on CGTalk – Second pass

Here is what I have got so far for the second inbetweens pass.

Animation Challenge on CGTalk

Hey all,

A couple of days ago I decided to jump in the deep end and participate in one of the CGTalk’s animation challenges. I have to say that so far from what I have seen there is some great animation happening on the thread.

The requirement was to choose between a character getting hit by a projectile and the second being a dialogue which is taken from the movie “Eurotrip”.

I chose to animate the dialogue from the movie and below is the blocking of the the animation so far.

First acting for animation exercise

Yesterday after a busy week of distractions, I managed to block out and pull off my first acting for animation exercise. I am pretty pleased about the result.
I downloaded the rig from Highend3d and the audio clip was sampled from “Family Guy”.
What is uploaded is a playblast, a more polished render will follow in the next few days.
