Ohoy, more stuff incoming!

So not too long ago we had a project were we were going to make a robot, what ever kind of robot we wanted. I decided to make a fun advertising robot. So after two weeks of planning, modeling, texturing, lighting and rendering, voila!



but now we have moved into the part of the course I have been looking forward to the most, Animation. We haven't gotten to character animation yet, but we're getting there. Thought I'd share a few things I did because feedback is key  :jajaja:

First something I did before we got too much into animation:

I made this by adding my TARDIS model to a curve and animating it along the curve. As well as keyframing in a few spins added effect.

Next up is the first time we animated with a rig other than a bouncing ball one, we spent an entire school day animating this and it was lots of fun:

Animated straight ahead, we were supposed to do blocking, but I wasn't too happy with mine so I went back and did it my preferred way instead  :P

And lastly a two cycle tests I did this weekend because I was bored. We haven't really gotten this far yet so I'm sure there is lots to fix up, but for now I'm pretty happy with what I got:

Also keep in mind that all of these were focused on the animation alone, which is why the scenery was simple or non-existent

My balls are all over the place in this one
Bouncing ball project

We were given the task to animate one traditional bouncing ball and one that we should give character.

So now I've completed the 3D Design and Animation course and I thought I'd share some of the animations I did. The first video was for an assignment where we were asked to make a portfolio video of our best animations from the year. So this is that video, though keep in mind that all of these animations are far from perfect, but they all had a deadline between 1 or 2 weeks so I did what I could with the time I had. Anyway, Enjoy:

Character Animation Portfolio

Also just wanted to note that the focus was completely on animation, nothing else mattered.

And then we had our last big animation project which we had 3 weeks to plan out and animate. It was sort of like an exam as it counted pretty heavily towards the final grade of the year. I ended up with this little thing:

Character Animation Project

I got an A on it as well :happy:

And later this year I'm starting the 3D Game Design course so I'm sure I'll have more stuff to share later  :jajaja:

E: I should mention that I didn't create any of the characters or rigs used. All I did was animate  ;)
