Today i worked a little bit on my character animation but Cornell suggested to finish the trex and get better at mudbox. I've been trying to do small details on the t-rex (which isn't working). There isn't much difference. :\

So I've been trying to smooth out the skin for my character so I can make it walk but it's not working. So I'm gonna try to make my character in Maya to see if it will be easier to animate it. My character still looks the same there isn't a difference. All the skin is still caving in and shooting out while the legs move. There's a thing called skin weight in Maya and I've been trying to use it but it isn't working and it's not smoothing out the skin to make it look normal. Last class I wasn't able to blog because I ran out of time in class and everything stopped working. I'm having a lot of trouble with this character but I'll keep going.

Today I worked on a little character for a mini animation. The mini animation will be used for the show casing in April. Even if it's only 30 seconds I'm going to rig a character and animate it. I'm having lots of fun. I still need to paint it and export it to Maya then rig it and then finally animate it. If I can, I will add another character also :D I'm so excited for this animation. :)

Today i worked on small details on my trex so in the picture there isn't much difference that's easy to spot. I had fun though. :)

We worked on cloth today in Maya. Cornell assigned us to make an epic cloth drape. So I did Lava :D

 

Today, I've started to add detail to my t-rex. I need to add small details before I can continue with the tutorial. :)

I was trying to make the eye look nice but didn't work out too well. I'll continue next class hopefully with Cornell's help. That's all I got done today.
