Animation Mentor - Class 2 Week 12

Wow... it's been a while since I posted... and I feel bad that I haven't kept everybody informed.

I finalized my previous pole jumping assignment and this is how it turned out... I still have to make some improvements but I added a picture of the Grand Canyon in the background to give it some depth.



The final assignment of class 2 was a pick assignment. This time with full Stewie with arms. We had to pick between having him dive of a diving board, do a baseball pitch, walk a ballance beam, open a sticky door, or do a heavy push or pull.

These are the 2 ideas I pitched to my mentor:
Push and Dive Reference

I decided to go with a heavy push since in 3D it is really challenging to show weight. And for my animation I decided to push a couch in a short 15 second animation. I would have loved to have done the dive though... it looked like so much fun.

So here is the first pass of blocking:

And here is the final push rendered:


This was a great term although I was incredibly busy... I did learn a lot about animation though... this is so exciting.
