My first FKMM UITM Animation Students.

The Class classification BRO532. I am teaching as part time. A four hour a week class for 14 weeks. The class every Tuesday. Lepasler bayar bil he he he

Good bunch of guys and gals. I was teaching the basic of animation. To get them to understand the process of animation. Since the facility has limited apps. I used Adobe After Effects as the basis of animation process.

The rest are more on concepts and reference to existing work.

I am going to Shah Alam tomorrow to key in the result.

No worries everyone pass but it's either from B+ to A+.

Sorry I still confused with the gals name. Susah bebenor nak ingat nama pompuan. Nasib baik nama bini ingat ha ha ha

My first 3D Character with IK

It's been a while since my last posting. Been busy though not that really busy LOLZ

I showcasing my 3D character. Supposed to be used on a job but it got rejected outright for a rushed trailer. And I mean RUSHED. So I stop work without implementing animation. This was the first initial draft design and I was planning to improve it. But then client just said I don't want it. What to do.

The concept of 3D character design, you build a basic design and add on to enhance it. I guess they don't know the concept.

Anyway, I will be using this character for an animation short since it is built based on my sketches, it is rightfully mine to make use. BTW this was made using Cinema4D. Cool and simple app.

Whatever it is, this was one of my few attempts that made it to be IKed and given bones to move.

A few more versions and new characters are made to settle the facial, muscles, physique, clothing and expressions. Then the character is complete.

After years of saying I can't do character animation, everything clique in now thanks to the animation class I am teaching and this character is not limping like last time.

Till next time.
