Maya Tutorials - Dynamics

I apologize for a very slight decrease in video quality due to the time taking to upload the videos to Youtube. As a result of this problem I needed to compress the videos in order to upload, which has resulted in a very small decrease in the videos quality.

Dynamics One - Active/Passive Bodies -

 

Dynamics Two - Soft/Rigid Bodies -

Dynamics Three - NCloth - 

to prevent any problems I have also added a link to each video as a back up -

Maya Tutorials - Matchmoving - Static Match

In this post is my maya tutorial for the static match which took a long time. I am happy with the final result but over the summer I would like to try this one again and quite possibly a few different examples which relate to matchmoving.

Final Animation - Models and Metaphors

Final Speaker Shots

Here are some more development shots from my ten second animation. These shots are from the final renders of my final Speaker/robot props.

E4 Logo Modeling Development

In this post is a quick update on the development of my E4 logo which I have modeled and will be using in my animation.
Whilst creating this, I used the CV curve tool to trace around the border of an E4 template and extruded the edges, followed by a little tidying up and a little coloring.

E Sting Speaker Progress

Here are some still images from my speaker concepts for the E sting animation.

Pre Vis

In this post I have put a pre vis which will aid me visually by helping me create the correct effect that I want whil;st creating my animation.

E Sting Animatic

In this blog post is my E Sting Animatic storyboards and Animatic which I have used to develop my ideas throughout this project.

Concept Sketches

In this post is an array of rough concepts which I have been trying to produce and develop to come up with my final idea.
I started off creating speakers and added different limbs to them, for instance, in a couple of the concepts below you can see the basic idea in which I was trying to come up with.

The third image below this text was a more refined final image which I came up with whilst creating sketches and designs after looking at my other concepts.

More images below are of my progress in creating a generator for the E4 logo to be born and displayed from.

Robotic Insect Influence

Originally I wanted to create a cyborg/robotic insect which interacted with the environment, incorporating the E4 logo into the animation.

Speakers which I found very unique and eye catching, also a good place to start when designing and developing my ideas.
