newly update demo reel with some different stuff.

so close to animating I can taste it!

slowly working

teetth

just some progress on the texture front.

rough fk test

just a quick test of the fk controls before I go to bed. I haven't painted weights on the joints so some of the stuff reacts incorrectly.....but I'm happy to actually see the damn model move!

still workin on the set

city, work in progress

cutting down geo

I started over on my model to give myself a model with less geo, but it also gave me the chance to adjust the design and make it a bit more stylized. I wanted to adress some notes people were giving me on the nose.

moreupdates

workin on it. threw a temp checker texture on the bag just to see how it might look

DemoReel2009

my current demo reel. I'll probably update later as soon as more shows start airing.

more stylized

adjustments

ariel and I were talking and I decided to try and stylize the truck a bit more

progress

just more progress modeling stuff

truck redesign

more roughs

trying to get a rough idea of the texture on the dog. I started with an image of the 3d dog, then painted over that.

Greys anatomy

still working on bumpy areas, but its almost there

mr munoz gave me an idea

so I bought the art of "UP" this weekend. While looking through it I noticed that there was an artist featured by the name of "daniel lopez MUNOZ". This was a bit of a shock to me because normally I rarely ever hear the name munoz other than someone who is speaking to me. maybe once or twice I'll hear it on the tv or see it in a story or whatever........but an artist that works in animation.......I've never meet another artist by the last name of munoz. its kind of weird. anyways. one of his pieces was a facial expression breakdown of russell. so I thought I'd do the same sort of thing for my character.

more bag work

just playing around with color and design of the bags. they will probably change more in the future to make them a little more different from each other.

bag art

just spent time working on bag art this weekend.

building frontview

just trying to figure out the look of the buildings. perspective is way off but that not really what I was focused on. I want to set up a few front view and top views so I can use it to build the actual model.

new painting

still workin on it

the headless dog

work in progress

seeing stars

new stuff

did some work this weekend on a bg painting to figure out some elements of the film. also did a turn around and a little more detailed collar for my dog "Mortimer" Plus I have a small skeleton sketch I did a few weeks ago just to try and figure out my dogs anatomy. enjoy.

more bg

just trying to figure out the bg, also did some posing.

bg

just been trying to work out the bg a bit, not finished but almost there. My first version was a bit to realistic so I decided to make it a bit more bright and less realistic

dog sculpt.

I did a sculpture of my dog just to get a handle on shapes and size. I took some images into photoshop in order to try and play more with scale. I didn't want to have to redo stuff.....I'll probably play more with the size and shape later.

painting

just did some more work this weekend. tried to get this out as soon as possible
