Z-Brush Work

This semester I'm in Z-Brush (Zed Brush) class. Z-Brush is a 3D texturing program where you can import 3D objects from other 3D software and do things in minutes which would take hour to do in the other program. I'm also beginning to use a tablet to do my drawings. Now I'm getting used to the tablet and Z-Brush, here's some of my work:


My Eye Monster, inspired by the spyders from Minority Report, except mine are a bit more organic.

Take That Cold Virus!

Ok, if you read my last post you know that I caught a cold on Wednesday and started to get better by Thursday. Good for me! Anyway, I was still feeling it by Friday. It's a bit of a set back for my short "Roy's Revenge", but I still got stuff done despite having to blow my nose every 5-15 minutes. Yuck. I blame my roommate for my sudden cold.
Anyway, I've been working on my blog tonight and if you look to your right you'll see a little Twitter box (under the long list of links), it's mini updates from me! I'll post little things, like what songs are stuck in my head, what I'm currently working on, links of interest and other silly things.

I've been working on organizing my link section, so there might be some new and interesting ones being added, so keep an eye on those.

I've submitted this blog of mine to several blog sites and you can see a list of them at the bottom of the page.

I've joined FaceBook.com last Sunday and by the end of the day had 23 friends. FaceBook.com makes me feel a bit old because I found a couple of my old classmates on there and some of them have a kid or two! Meanwhile I'm going to an art school with green hair and wearing a Batman t-shirt. Wait... I like being an art student, I'm not ready for kids! If we've met or chatted online and you want to be my friend, then visit My Profile at Facebook

Ok, time for a picture. Remember how in March, while I was teaching LET at the Centre For Arts and Technology's Bootcamp and then went to the Okanagan Film Festival, well, I got a picture finally developed. Here it is:

From Left to Right: Mara (director/animator of "Paint Within the Lines"), Erin (Director/Animator of "Upon A Star"), Chris (Director/Animator of "Beyond the Desolate"), Nathan (Director/Animator of "Unfolded"), Nolan (Director/Animator of "Coffeeee"), Cassandra (Modeller/Animator of "The Nieghbour Below"), Chris W (Director/Animator of "The Nieghbour Below"). I've had at least 1 class with all of them! They're all very creative and nice guys and gals! I wish them all the best of luck!

Back to flogging my own stuff. I'll be adding more to this blog very soon, including that long, long, long over due banner on top. Which will link to my various labels, such as Roy's Revenge, Animation, Articles, Digimill, Life/General and whatever else I decided to add. I want to get my picture taken next to the Digimill.net SUV, that would be cool.

Anyway, I gotta go to sleep, more work to do including:

-Finishing touches on Roy's Revenge Lieca Reel
-Touch up animation on some animation tests
-Get final designs done for the the giant laser in Roy's Revenge
-Remix more NIN songs (one down...)
-Find the right Mommy Day card! May 13th Everyone! Next Sunday!!
-Turn JenEric into Roy
-Animate Nolan's Rouge Mage
-Among other things!

RR: Animation Test 5

Wow, the cold virus got me on Wednesday. It was rough, but I'm feeling much better now. Still have a runny nose and a sinus headache, but I'll live.
Back to the animation at hand. This is a continuation of Test 5. In this scene Roy is still waiting for his parcel to arrive and is frightened by the next door neighbour's yippee little dog barking. So imagine that sound byte until I get the an audio guy, which should be soon.



Leave comments! I'm getting lots of them over at the digimill.net forum, thanks to everyone over there!

RR: Animation Test 4

The 4th animation test/rough animation for my upcoming short. I think I'm well on track, but there's still a lot to do. I may be on time right now, but I want to get ahead of schedule then you can attend to any render issues and such.
Here's the latest, comments welcomed!
