View in HD An animation of my dragon model in flight. The animation could've done with some more work, especially on the neck, tail and front legs, but it'll do for now.

Composited in After Effects as a bunch of layers to edit in the environment, clouds, dragon model and other effects in separately, to control the motion blur and depth of field independently.

A quick character animation in which the challenge was to demonstrate the word 'careless' in 10 seconds. The character is actually stationary, with the environment moving to easily create the motion blur on the background while retaining camera movement in the opposite direction. View in HD

Here's one of the monkey animations I've been working on. See a small version of the video on the right, or use the links below for higher quality ones.

It's intended to go on the home page as an introduction, and hopefully demonstrates some character emotion and interaction, as well as some cinematic effects. View in HD

I really should give this animation a name so I can stop calling it work in progress...

Anyway, here's a draft render of the animation so far to check the lighting, textures and glass breakage effects.

The main thing left is the building explosion so the whole thing actually makes sense. And he needs a gun as well to shoot at the glass so the glass doesn't spontaneously explode as it does at the moment.

An update on what I'm working on (see previous related post here)

Still very much work in progress - textures, animation and obviously special effects still need working on, but you can see roughly how the animation should end up.

The idea is he's running from a bomb that he planted in order to kill something evil, although I've not yet decided what this evil thing is, or even if we'll...

A quick video to show the monkey character model, and that it is low poly and scalable with some turbosmoothing.

It also aims to show a grasp of face morph targets, and some quick ragdoll applied to the end of it to hopefully demonstrate the skinning and rigging of the mesh.

Here's what I'm working on at the moment, and it involves bringing this monkey back that I started to work on ages ago.

I'm experimenting with morph targets now to try and get some expression, and it's still very much work in progress...

Choose the options below to make the character move. Select a main category (walk is selected initially), then pick a further option within that category to give him a variation on that cycle. This is the character and accompanying animations that were created for the DirectX project you can see below, and is intended to make it easier to see what I did rather than having to downloa...

directx.jpgBoth as part of an assignment, and then further pursued in my own time with other models, I looked at exporting animations and models into custom engines using .x format. Although perhaps not the best format to use, it did help in learning the export procedure and some tricks to get animations looping correctly, and the models to be a suitable polygon count.
