class feedback

Today i shared my work of a comic strip and how i will incorporate that with flash for a banner. there was a lot of positive feedback they liked the concept and the comic layout, my target is to finish the comic strip over the weekend so i can begin on flash and create my banner. im thinking of animating the colours and having motion tweens in several scenes

3D Animation

here i have made a 3D animation in 3DS Max of a warrior slaying a demon in the pits of hell

EVALUATION

I designed and animated a scene where a demon is slayed in the pits of hell by a warrior. I did this in 3DS Studio Max 2008.

My final design was a bit different from my initial idea as my characters are designed differently from the initial idea.

In the time that I was given I think I spent it well as my animation was done by the deadline.

In the whole time I was doing my animation the aspect I most struggled with was the lighting as I need to get my head around shadows.

I found animation the easiest although there was a little error that made the ligaments of the model move away from the body which took some time to put right.

Compared to professionals my animation has got a long way to go but practise makes perfect.

I think I could improve on texture as I rushed it.

If I did it again I think I would design a whole different scenario.      

xmas holiday own project

Making a human walk

Today we were asked to animate a human model(done by tutor) walk in 3DS max, after a good half hour I succeed on my first try however at the end I tried to make the model do a handstand which as you can see in the video didn't go too well(apologies to the model for breaking his back) but this is only the basic of animation hopefully I will conquer this technique.
