CTN Expo November 18-20th

CTN Expo

Some more exciting news, in November I will be heading to the CTN expo in Burbank California and immediately following that will be heading to Disney Land. There I plan to meet many of my fellow AM classmates as well as countless others in the industry.

AM Eager Beavers

AM Eager Beavers


Can't believe I never posted this before.....this is an awesome group of fellow AM'ers. Started by my friend Pascal.

Springboard has come to an end......



It is with both Excitement for moving on, and sadness for a great class ending that I post this.  This was truly a great  experience for I had a wonderful teacher who went above and beyond every single time, doing tutorials and such on his own time for us and also going well over the 1 hour class in most cases by at least another hour. My classmates were an incredible group of people that helped me learn and make it a great learning experience and loads of fun at the same time. Now I do feel much better prepared for what lies ahead having somewhat familiarized myself both with Maya and with how AM works.

One small step for one leg, One giant step for a newbie animator......Session 11 Week 10



Our assignment this time was to use the One Leg rig provided to us and to have him make a single step.

Clean Up on Aisle 10.......Session 10 Week 9



Our assignment for this session was to clean up the animation and do all the inbetweens to complete the blocking we started in the previous section. In addition to the original animation I also made a variation. Of course I should also mention again that the last assignment did not involve the arm actually picking up the can and moving it simply to go through the motions, and this assignment was to actually do the constraint to have the arm pick up and move the can, but I did that in the previous assignment :)
