Wyatt’s VFX & Animation WiP

This is a character I made in 3D for a 2D group animation project at school for a piece about carbon emissions. This rigging was done mostly with ICE in Softimage which was a fun exercize.

Work in progress animation of someone doing nothing...but waiting. There is an internal dialog which will hopefully become more clear when the rest is added on. No splining on this yet and the second half is still a little too rough to show.

Dumbo & Dim. A couple of characters I designed, modelled and rigged up in modo. Working on a short bit of animation to test them out.

The Bug monster in 3D, break out those anaglyph glasses! Rendered from Maya, 3D compositing in Nuke.

Bug monster we rendered with a flame thrower simulation and composited into live action for class earlier this year.

A peek at the rig for the passenger pigeon done in Softimage.

First pass at testing out flocking with the passenger pigeon rig.

This is a fly cycle I animated on a passenger pigeon that I rigged that was modeled by Devin Wambolt, Dakota DeMarco, and James Gajoch

R.I.P. Jack Tramiel. Without you there would have been no Commodore 64. Without the Commodore 64 there would be no me. At least not one  that I'd recognize.

Animation project for school. We had to make a 30 second animation involving normally inanimate objects for which we had to do it all solo. Story, modeling, rigging, texturing, layout, animation, etc. The exception being the sound, which in this case was done by fellow student Ferdinand Gonzales. And special thanks to Rosie Presti who's "Bullies" lithograph was the inspiration behind the story.

Here's my stab at combining them. Sorry, no snakes or spinning discs.

But rather than reshoot the plate and risk needing to then reshoot the green screen shot I'm going to make this work as best I can. I'll leave it at that for now and we'll see how this develops.

My basic goal is to have the spaceship/death ray appear over the El train via some sort of energy rift and to obliterate a pedestrian added with a green screen shot.

and the resulting draft quality geometry was pretty good. But higher quality rendering of the draft quality renders produced odd results. So I'm going to have to play with that one a bit more before sharing.

Autodesk's Project Photofly's cloud servers did a pretty good job via Photo Scene Editor to figure out my camera angles.
