Brinddal Ogre walk cycle on Mn8's desk - UnrealPHD

Just thought I'd put my two cents in.

The character is awesome, and the animation is really realistic, however I think that the shadow could have been darker to match with the rest of the objects on the desk.

Love the work!

This is very cool. You used Blender to make the Ogre?

[UnrealPHD]

@Nightmare1066 - Thanks, no maya and zbrush were used for the Ogre.

is the desk and environ generated in maya too?

[UnrealPHD]

@35906 Noo, that's my office and desk, shot with the Panasonic HMC70 HD video camera. No enhancements.

Holy crap that was vivid. Was the surrounding area computer generated or enhanced? I couldn't figure out what was real. Nice work on the animation as well. I like how his body moves fluidly when he moves, particularly the chest/shoulder area.Can he do any kung fu or perhaps the macarana dance yet? Are you in another contest by chance?

[UnrealPHD]

@thybigballs Hi, thanks! No the surrounding area is my desk, it's not enhanced. We aren't in a game design contest right now, just working on our latest game, Ogre Islands. Yeah, we already made a render of the Ogre dancing and doing some funny stuff :P, but probably won't post those. :P

This was just an animation to test the matchmoving track, not a VFX shot, I know that having him walking in a cycle doesn't make sense or fit in, but its the only animation loop so far for this character, so I decided to use this as a test.

2 directional lights and 2 area lights rendered in Mental Ray for Maya.
