A crazy week this week, with all the added expenses of AM and Amanda’s apprentice ship, I’ve been considering doing some freelance and sure enough a great project that I can’t really talk about came along. Unfortunately its a really intensive project, but will really challenge me. That does mean that I’m now working two jobs and school at the moment and my sleep has been really messed up since I got back from Germany, so a lot of random sleep and headaches this week.

This week was another two parter assignment with the first week again being the blocking of the walk, but this time with Character. Next week we’ll refine the walk and render our first assignment form a 3/4 view with perspective.

Of course with such a busy Week even Stu is exhausted.

And with only blocking this week I managed to squeeze in revisions.

Well this time I had to crunch after getting back form Germany, but that didnt’ stop me from accepting an invite to a guys poker night on Friday, Thanks Guys it was great.

I’m getting much more comfortable with Maya now, and the previous week Paul had given us some great shortcuts and such to help with working in Maya such as the “K” key which allows you to scrub the animation anywhere, CINEMA 4D has the equivalent shortcut assigned to “J” but it currently doesn’t work in the new R10/11 Timeline, don’t worry I’ve posted a bug report.

Stu is a little concerned this week.

Oh and some revisions of last weeks blocking, of course this all went into doing the final walk you see up above, but also some changes to the Stu pose

Oi what a hectic week Getting ready to go to Germany on some business meant hunkering down early on my animation assignment. Fortunately I got it all done before flying out. That is until I landed in Germany got to the airport and decided to tweak a little, based on some great feedback form other AM students and mentors, which lead me me into having to upload and the Internet access at the hotel was $3 for a half hour. Yeesh.

Anyways Ballie blocking, this was the first 2 parter assignment so this was just blocking because next week we’ll refine.

And of course Stu showing some Strength, GO Stu GO!
