Animations

I'm also in an animation class this semester.  Here's my exaggerated walk cycle and acrobatic animation.

Finished Berry

Skip a couple days of staring at the computer and one night of babysitting renders and we have a finished berry.

And here's the mess of nodes I made to get the texture.

Tweaking

Continued tweaking of the light model and displacement maps

At this point I moved to a low quality model with vector displacement.  Houdini 12 hates vector displacement, I only got it working with help from Ethan.  It messed with my regular displacement maps, so those need more work.

Light

Add light with a shading model, and tweak, tweak, tweak

Displacement Shading

The next step is to finalize the basic shader and add displacement.

Blueberry progress

Still working on the basic pattern.  At the same time I mutated a sphere in mudbox to get the final model.

Shader Programming

I present for you... a blueberry.

Our first project for shaders class is to make a fruit using mostly noises in Houdini.  I'm going to recreate this-

Paper Cut

This is my final from the intro to 3D animation class.  It probably could be better if I knew more about rigging.  Anyway, the synopsis is that a piece of paper learns that he can fly.

Left Hand Animation

Yup.  I did everything here with my left hand.  Enjoy.

Watch on YouTube

Demo Reel

Here's my demo reel for now.  It doesn't have any Estefan stuff in it because nothing is finalized enough to show.

Monster Toy

Another assignment from drawing for animation.

Textures

This is an assignment from my drawing for animation class.  Done in pen with some marker on the bottom row.
