Last Leg of Otis

Posted in Labels: 2011, claire, drawing, final, kim, kim vongbunyong, oring, Otis

Last few days = pretty exhausted. Why am I DRAWING?! This though, is for a good cause. I'm helping my friend Claire Oring out with her end credits of her short!

Man it's difficult to get people to look like themselves when their eyes are missing!

OMG. Almost DONE!

36 HOUR REVIEW NEXT WEEK.

Wish me luck. I'll post most of my wips after that.

In the meanwhile, check out Alberto Cerriteno's stuff!

Back to School Truckin'

Toyota Tacoma truck lighting assignment.

I know that somewhere the aliasing went bad... but it's okay, I'm fixing that next week!

It needs more work, but it's good for now! The model was supplied by Chris, while I worked on the lighting and texturing in Maya with compositing work in Photoshop. It's nice getting back into the fourth and final season of Otis! And... wait for it, more animation work coming next week! For now, take a curvy, wavy and beautiful graph editor snapshot from my scene file:

Have a great week guys!

Little Details!

At any rate ... Otis starts tomorrow and I'm here putting together the last bits of my Senior Thesis! Like always, a end of the summer post with some work done and details:

Hey we made it onto Motionographer!
So exciting, I'd never thought anything I worked on would end up here when I was in school.

Check it all out here, especially the credits at Three Legged Legs:

So pretty much I've spent the last two weeks of my summer booked, working for them on another project... and I can't wait to see it finished! I'm gonna miss working with everyone there when I'm back in school.

^ Street Fighter King Alex

^ Tuna!

^ Trooper Tavarez

^ Greg

^ Casey, Reza, and Darren

I have way more photos, so I'll post them up later.

Then... Whoa! Is that the bag I made? Yep!

It was for one of my IL class projects: Haiti Bridge!

It won the Design Ignites Change 2010 Implementation Award! Cool!

This summer has been one of the best summers ever, so far!

In other words, back to Otis! Gooooooo!

OTIS Season 3 Cont.

Posted in Labels: bathroom, chris eckardt, coddington, Otis, posing, senior citizens

First week back! Here's some work to have a look-see at:

I have a few poses here with Bobby Coddington's rig! He's one of the reasons why I got into 3D in the first place. He's such an amazing teacher, having him again this semester is so kick ass!

And of course, Chris Eckardt's homework! There is way more I have to fix/remake, but punching these out in the tightest of times is pretty stressful/fun and I love it. It just forces me to work faster and smarter. Anyway this assignment was to just model a bathroom and to only use surface shaders to light the scene (which kinda pinched me because I love using directional lights... and taught me more about lighting surfaces):

YAY! Then on Friday morning me, Sonya and Young visited and exercised with the Senior Citizens of Westchester! They are more flexible than we are! Plus they are so sweet! Then we met Sam, who was really quiet, but the best part was that he was playing chess and looked EXACTLY like Geri, from Pixar's short "Geri's Game"!

Finals, stragglers + less than 6 hour test!

DONE!!

It was an AMAZING and really awesome semester! To me, after a really really quick turn around from doing concept, and turning a new corner into 3D/VFX and Character Animation, I'm totally grateful for it! Just meeting people from Siggraph LA, like Damien from Pixerati, to working at Mobile Motion with MoCap and Augmented Reality, and learning all these new programs--this has been such an exciting and fun year, even with the all nighters and hard work! What's best of all, are my friends/work companions who worked/played through it with me! Their finals are pretty sweet and their links are on the sidebar, so go check it out!

Anyway, after me blabbing, here's some work to show! YAY!
