Boom is now 80% done. All he needs is proper textures and eyes. The girl bot is almost finished. All she needs is to finish her face and place textures on.

The girlbot body

Boom's body start

Started creating the character models. I changed the overall body type of the boom box. I wanted him to look slimmer.

Post #10 Short film Proposal

          

            One idea that I have for my final animation is to have my character stuck in the wrong bathroom. During the start of the animation my characters stomach will growl intensely. He will try to ignore it in till the pain becomes unbearable. He will rush to the bathroom without looking at the signs, and immediately go into a stall. Once he starts to look around he notices that the stall is different. My character will start to panic in till he hears someone else come into the bathroom. My character will try to escape the bathroom without being detected. Due to my characters luck before he opens the door to exit another woman is at entrance terrified of his presence. 

Post #9 Final Textures

Here is my final texture and model for my character. 

Post #8 Project 2 Design

Here is the project 2 character design as promised. I wish to re-edit my characters egg because, I did not input the rough edges around the arms, legs, horns, and eyes.

Synopsis-  The story for my short animation is going to consist of an egg trying to escape from being fried on a frying pan. The story will start out with the character being dropped on the pan. Then the character proceeds panic in trying to find an escape plan. Once he figures out his feet are starting to sizzle he rushes to the edge of the pan and tries to climb out. Only to be knocked back down by a spatula. 

Post #6 Idea and revised project

Hello all,

My idea that I wanted to explore for this next project will look similar to the minions of despicable me. The adjustments I wish to make to them is extend their legs, add another finger, and remove replace their clothing and color with something more align with my own style.

Post #5: Final Project 1 Video

Hello there!
       Here is the finished version of my walk cycle. There was a few problems I ran into when transferring the rendered images to After Effects. But in all I think he came out OK. In addition, I notice his feet are not technically touching the ground. The reason behind this is I did not place any foot roll constraints on his feet. So therefore I had to improvise a little bit.

Post #4 idea and Model

Hello all,

When brainstorming for an idea for my next character, I kept falling back on the idea of making the model more complex. Although my current model for project 1 is simple; I believe it conveys the half organic and half mechanical effectively. The next model I wanted to build will defiantly have more in-depth feet and facial controls, while the body may be more simplistic. The character model that comes in mind that will help me create this new model is the despicable me minions. While their bodies are very simple the life of the character really comes from their facial expression.

P.S. here is a render of my finished model with texture. Although he is very basic he is starting to grow on me.

      Signing Out,
          Nic Goins
