WIP - Walter

2011-04-21T17:15:00.000-07:00

A few days ago i saw this old guy in a Danish newspaper, and thought ’what a great face to sculpt’. So that’s what I did! ;)

WIP –He still needs a lot of texture work; need to paint the epidermal, weight and subdermal maps to give it more life, and set up the SSS shader in maya. Don’t know when I’ll find the time, so that’s why I post this WIP now. Tomorrow morning I’ll be hiking around Hald Sø, and after that it’s back to school.

Enjoy the spring!

Today i went through that massive pile of drawings on my table that was threatening to fall over and kill someone. Here are a few of them; The drawings are in no particular order done between august 2010 and now. Think most of them are between 30 sec and 5 minutes –yes I know, very specific ;)

Project Q

2011-04-02T06:53:00.000-07:00

For the last 3 months I have been working on building this strange quadruped that is a mix between a hyena, a warthog, a bat and an okapi. I feel it was great fun to build the creature in 3d, and seeing it come to live thanks to Stine Agerskov Frandsen who animated it.

Trailer project

Hi guys, first update since the summer holiday... yeah, should drop by more often. But here it finally is; the thing we've been working on since school started this summer. We had to change the setting and re-artdirect the movie Il Postino, and make a 30 second trailer for it. Enjoy!

So, this is where my last 5 weeks went. First a week of playing with clay, then 3 weeks of 3d-modelling and sculpting, and then this last week of rendering, and presenting the stuff

Timelapse

2010-03-11T08:58:00.000-08:00

This was a 3-week project where we were to furnish a premade room with models we found/made.
Most of the stuff is done in maya with mental-ray phys sun/sky, but the water in the background is done in fusion

Film-Jam!

2010-02-19T07:05:00.000-08:00

Working with guys from the other classes at the school and Amy Winfrey as director, we were to make a one minute animation. Amy who had previously worked on South Park suggested to use the same technique with cut-out animation in maya. Turned out to be really fun!

Color week

2010-02-19T06:51:00.000-08:00

After practising a few days with acrylics, we were asked to do a non-character centric painting for The Little Red Riding Hood

Here's my initial sketch:

and one of the color-thumbs:
and at last the final painting:

Extended space

2010-02-19T06:24:00.000-08:00

In the architecture week with Guillermo Yanguez we had to analyse a painting by Edward Hopper, and try to extend the space of the painting to tell a story.

Edward Hopper - Compartment C, car 193 © some dude -deal with it!

On Thursday afternoon Guillermo came up with the wonderful idea that I should do my interpretation for the next morning in 3d -gee thanks 'Big G'

But then again, it was fun to see what I could throw together in one night

turning the freak into 3d

2009-11-27T06:19:00.000-08:00

I was pretty quick to block out my scene, and establish a camera that fit my sketches.

Then i threw in a blockout of my character

This is the final model and uvmapping of my character in bindpose, and then to riggin and throwing it in to the modelled environment

As you can see, i changed the pose of the character a bit to make him look more relaxed

Circus Freak project

2009-11-27T06:06:00.000-08:00

I am now in the middle of a 7-week project at school. The output of this should be one still image with a non realistic humanoid character. The overall theme of the project is 'Circus Freak Show'

Turnaround for my character

Intro to Rigging 1.2

2009-11-27T06:00:00.000-08:00

This week we had to rig a character. I used the white-trash giraffe-character i already had build, and made a better rig for it. The last day of this week was used to animate and composite the video

Exercise in rigging mechanical objects.

Intro to Maya 2.1

2009-11-27T01:24:00.000-08:00

This was a group project I did with Fie. She did the background, and I did the character. Unfortunately Maya kept crashing on me, so I wasted a lot of time redoing stuff. The character is still in bindpose on the renderimage, and I didn't have time to fix this...

The toilet turned in to 3d. I changed the design of the cistern to make the composition more interesting

Introduction to Maya 1.1

2009-11-27T01:04:00.000-08:00

My first Maya-school project was an indoor scene. I came up with a sketch for this charming bathroom, and decided to skew-up the perspective to make it look more interesting.

Week 37 - Characterdesign with Julia Bracegirdle

2009-11-27T00:46:00.000-08:00

The week with Julia was very challenging. She tried very hard to teach us to do original designs, while most of us tried to make pretty characters. In the middle of the week Nikki and I did this awesome silhouette film...
