Animation #5 - Walk Cycle cleanup

Still needs a bit more work, but the current walk cycle:

Animation #4 - Walk Cycle!

Hand keyed walk cycle animation ~

Animation #3 - Ball Rolling!

Hand keyed animation of a ball rolling down a small course.

Animation #2 - Ball bounce!

I may have gone a bit overboard, the assignment was just to make a ball bounce... Oh well.

Animation #1 - Animate.... Something.

I need a chair!

The key to a good animation is a good chair, it's just scientific fact! And as luck would have it, there is a chair on the server named Ultimate_Chair - that must be amazing!

So, the ultimate chair wasn't very. . . ultimate. . . It was quite the let down, honestly, so I remade it!

Originally, the ultimate chair consisted of a single control object with one pivot point along the back... Which is fine if the chair only ever tumbles backwards and never in any other directions. That was too boring for me, so I rigged the chair to tumble in every direction!

With an awesome chair in hand, I could finally make the animation I wanted!

Welcome aboard!

Good afternoon!

My name is Brian Kortbus, I am a super serious animator, rigger, technical artist, and all around awesome person if I do say so myself! How do I know I'm so awesome you ask? The secret is modesty, I'm probably the most humble and modest person you've ever met so you can trust me on this one!

Beyond that, this blog will follow my coursework and studies while attending FIEA, the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy!

Let the games begin!
