CA1 - BGSU Storyboards

Story boards for my animation - The Stone Carver.

CA1-BGSU Synopsis

The Stone Carver. This story is about a stone carver from a high mountain village working on a great monument to himself in an effort to be remembered. Along his journey he learns what's more important than being remembered for your work.

CA1-BGSU Inspiration for animation

Just adding in some inspirational images and styles for my animation. Have an idea kind of where I want to go.

CA1-BGSU Character creation in Maya

Working on getting better with the modeling tools in Maya. Still trying to figure out how to average smooth vertices but looks pretty decent with a subdivision.

Also messed around a bit with Final gather, ambient occlusion material properties, and bounce lighting.

Character Animation BGSU

So here I am going to start doing some posting about my animation project at BGSU. Here we are. Ready to start a new and interesting project! Looking for some inspiration:   Inside Out The Incredibles Graphic Design Junction http://www.graphicmania.net/cute-3d-cartoon-characters-and-models/    

Something in the works...

I currently have something in the works.......

Hoping to have this mobile game hit the Android store (and hopefully iOS) by first quarter next year. Here's a sneak peak of the first character (still in progress), Kenny.

Keep watching for more!
