weekend adventure

hey guys, so i haven't been a very good blogger lately, but i'll let u in on some of the stuff i've been doing.

works been crazy for a while, i've had alot of stuff to do and we're getting started again on the short. we should have boards up in a couple days. we did a bicycle event here in portland called the bridge pedal, i'll be posting more images up from that later on today but heres something to tide over the 4 people that visit my blog.


(the people that look like they are posing with us are my coworkers, aaron his girlfriend tara, myself, hannah and edward. trappe was taking the picture but theres a few photos with him in it so i'll get one up soon.)
yeah, there were approximately 20,000 participants in this years event. crazy!

hooray for the girlie girls

i really love this design, it's very unique. my lovely girlfriend hannah came up with the concepts for this short. i think this color study totally captures the right kind of attitude for the character. i love the simplicity of the design coupled with it's unique shape.

texture power!

so, if theres one thing we seem to be making progress on it's texturing,

mike kopa sent me these images today and things look to be coming together. i gave him some notes and hopefully everyone else has some feedback for him so we can start to really dial in this look and start to push it farther.

here ya go

uvs laid out progress continues

here are a few screencaps taken of the horse after it's uv's have been laid out.

the horse is being textured by mike kopa, as soon as i have a site for him i'll add a link.

rigging this weekend, maybe some story work later this week as well.

update

so theres an update coming soon, i've been really busy at work lately and haven't had much time after work to do anything besides relax. but the modelling on our first horse should be done today. that leaves the girl horse to model and hopefully by then we'll have some sort of automated rigging system for these horse rigs so we dont have to build the girls rig from scratch.

until tomorrow
