I'm really looking foward to see this animation. It feels dark with some nice grim characters. The animation is very strange (in a good sense). It's sort of a mixture of keyframe animation, motion capture and stop motion. Motion Capture Puppets :P!?!
The animation depends on the type of character or it seems like it in my humble opinion.
I hope they release a making of...

Short Animation: TF2 - Meet The Medic
This short has already been around for bit now, but it bring tears of laugh everytime I see it. The animation, the gags, everything is amazing...
I leave you without further ado the animation and the making of (if you're interested), of Valve's finest.
BTW, the game is free now on steam ;)!

Exercise #5: Run Cycle
Following the previous exercise. I did a run cycle with the same character.
The character is running, I wouldn't say angry, but he's rushing somewhere.
The walk cycle have some problems on the legs, the popping it's to noticeable, so have to look into that.
The run cycle is a bit better for the legs and I do like the joint break on the arms.
I added as well some motion blur with the hardware render, which I think it looks better.
It took me around 4 hrs, on and off.
I already have an idea for the next exercise. Now it starts to get interesting :)!

Blog: New Stuff!!!
Hey peeps!
I've been adding a couple more things too the blog, sites of other artists that I follow. Last time I formated my hard drive, lost a huge list of bookmarks, when I updated firefox (for reasons unknown). So I'm building it bit by bit. If you have anything that you want to add feel free to pm me or comment.
Thanks! :)
