Animation Showreel

[CptCryBaby]

Needs to do everything closer to the ground.  especially the run cycle.

WHATS THE SONG

[AfterEffectsBlender]

nice

but you should watch a few videos of a cheetah walking...

What's the song

[limbdarkening]

Some advice: The lifting bit is great but the walks are too stiff. No person or animal walks/runs with their feet perfectly straight forward.

[thrakozog]

@limbdarkening thanks for the comment dude. Not to make excuses but this vid is really old. did it like 2 years ago funny looking back at it. I should really cut a new reel together. your absolutely right about it though I was very stiff back then. best of luck

@thrakozog hi i am making a gam and i'd love you to be a modeler its almost done the markings and thngs are done but i need a animal modeller and ive bee looking on youtube and yours is great it'd be a bonus if you was good at coding but if not please be a modeller or this game will not be mde Q.Q

[thrakozog]

@ScourgeClawz Hey - I might have some time over the coming weeks if so I will get in touch. I am specialising in animation these days although this showreel is years old and doesn't really show my animation skills too well. Would be nice to do some modeling again. Hope the game goes well for ya! and I very well might be in touch soon.

is the man buzz lightyear????......:)

[realfelixneko7]

what did you use to model it ? Or did you download the models??

[thrakozog]

@realfelixneko7 Modeled in XSI and MAX, Little bit of Zbrush in there too. textures painted in Photoshop.

@thrakozog Amazing but i have one tip look at a cheetah in slow motion and have a look how it runs its not quite so stiff but's amazing

[barbar84]

your going to france? why. why would anyone do that.

[rowanirish]

I'd recommend focusing on one aspect of animating only. Modellers model, Riggers rig, Animators animate etc. Jack of All Trades Master of None if you get me. That would be how it is in the industry.

[thrakozog]

thanks for the reply rowan, I am purely an animator, i just thought demonstrating an understanding of the other aspects of the animation pipeline couldn't hurt. Also my own personal models mean that my work doesn't get drowned in the animation mentor scene.

[zurbagtheconqueror]

where are you working at the moment out of interest?

[rowanirish]

I recommend buying a book by Richard Williams called The Animator's Survival Kit. In it he talks about the 12 Principles of Animation. You can Google it.

Take a look at my 3 month Progress Reel. I'll have my 6 month Progress Reel up in a few weeks. Good luck with animating.

[thrakozog]
