2014 Showreel

My final project was a Feedback system to make things easier for artists and directors to communicate.

There is also another tool that i created during my final year at university. That tool is a playblast submitter. Basically when the animator is finished witha stage of animation i.e. primary/secondary/final. the click the playblast HUD button and it will submit the playblast to a central folder on the server. in that folder there are folders for the 3 stages of animation. the playblast tool also names the playblast the same as the name of the scene and gives it a version number

these 2 tools can be seen here in my 2014 showreel.

Animation Assignment

Here is my animation assignment we were given the audio clip and the story boards and we had to animate the piece using the provided rig

Speed Modeling (10 mins)

Here is a speed modeling/ rigging project we did in class
our tutor gave us all an image of an asset and we had 10 mins to model and rig it

Terrain Generator

This is the terrain generator i created as part of the scripting module in my last year of Uni

Still Life Project

Here is the still life project i did in my last year at university


We started by taking photos of our objects all layed out how we wanted them

I then decided to do a rough block out of where my objects should go

I then started modeling the objects and doing some quick texture/render tests.

I then finished modeling the objects and layed the out how they should be.

After laying out the objects i went and applied the texture and materials

Finally i set up the lighting and refined the materials so they were closer to the original picture.

This was all completed using Maya, Pixar's Renderman and Photoshop

Concept Art WIPS

Here are some updates of the concept art i was working on earlier

Muscle Rig.

At the end of my second year of university i worked on a muscle rig teaching myself how to use muscles. I had to make a demonstration video to show it off. there is some cloth dynamics in there as well but i was focusing on the muscles. ............. Also the audio is terrible LOL.

I do Realize that the chain mail has not been weight mapped properly as i had run out of time and had to hand in the project. Looking back at the project i would have done the chain mail a lot differently.
