Triple Jump

This current term is broken into 3 assignments that each take 4 weeks. Each one having a successively more complex rigs, ending in a (drum roll) complete bipedal human.  I know, impressive right?

The first one is now finished, and was a triple jump, which you can see below. 

Max script: planes of light?

I have been working my way through the MIT OCW introduction to programming class.  I have found that I enjoy programming.  I get a chance to use mental muscles long dormant, rust covered, and cobweb laden.  I gave myself a few tasks to do with this information.  One of them was an attempt to get planes to be created above an image in a regular grid where more planes will be created the brighter pixels.  I felt that "The Scream" by Edvard Munch would be a fun choice.

Below is the result. 

I think the result is fairly interesting, even if I can't really think of a practical application for it. 

1 term down

Many changes are afoot and I have decided to take this blog more seriously (if only a little) and attempt to update it at least. Meaning that should that week suck and I have Nooooothing to say. Update at least once a week.  Luckily for me I've got some backup stuff to throw up here to ensure that I can keep this up for at least 1 week. 

I finished my first term of Animation Mentor and below is the progress reel as hard proof.  I'm not that happy with much of it in retrospect, though I will admit I had a honeymoon with about 3 of these shots. Then woke up one day and wondered where the love went and why I decided to marry them. But such is life.
