Ive been wanting to rig muscles for a while now but as i need a model to do that i started modeling human anatomy. spend about 4 hours on this so far with detail needing to be added to the face hands and feet still. i was pleased with how the torso came out considering its been over a year since i did any proper modeling. not sure weather i want to take this into z brush or keep it in max yet although when it comes to rigging if i need to make alterations to skin deformation it would be easier if i kept it in max.

11 Second Club July, only spent a total of about 6 days on this which is a shame cause i was realy getting into it, come the final day i came to accept that it wasnt going to get completed in time. :(



got my breakdowns done, moved to curves and fixed them but never realy got to do a full animation pass. once again facial expressions are missing, its something im weak at so ill be giving some facial animation a go.

work created for an internship at Little Old Lady Games for an undisclosed project in development for PC,iPhone, iPad and PSPgo.

So the last 3 months have been quite intense, although looking back now the hurdles look so much smaller than they did back then...

To summarise i now have a nice showreel but the crowning jewel was definatley mannaging to complete our little bug VFX sequence. feels like a child or something come to life all frankenstein style.

Trex in Atrium

As part of collaborative project ive been working on a compositing film/project where a Trex smashes into our uni and proceeds to cause inconveinence to the working day with extreme hunger. Ive been thrilled to work on the project working rather closely as a team created a nice working environment, im glad to have learned more about weight and streamlining my pipeline too, overall a great experience.
