"New little Short Animation incoming"

2009-10-27T11:37:00.000-07:00

Hi,I wanted to make while ago some kind of short animation ,kind like action scene so I decided to make a dark simple scenario and I rigged a character I found ,so I want to concentrate in the animation aniway here I show a WIP of some shots of the animation,It still needs some refining of render and textures but I will improve it later...hope you like it! ;)

"2008 REEL"

2009-03-18T10:33:00.000-07:00

Hey!Long time not posting..I will start posting more from now..Been quite bussy changing city and new Job and learning all the Maya stuff in the same time :D ,now it´s nearly two months there and I´m learning a ton..we are a big group there and we´re having fun..we have to animate 150 frames per day so is not so bad..it´s a pity we can give to it more time to have more high quality..

Here I show my Old temporal Reel from some past works I done,nothing special,as I said for that project I had to animate nearly 300f/day even some days 500frames in 3 months..very stressfull,next reel I want to push the level a bit so still I have to learn a lot..hope you have fun watching ;)

MOVING....

2009-01-12T09:41:00.000-08:00

Already finish after 3 months a really interesting Project of A Documental Film in Madrid from the History of the King ALFONSO XIII and wars with the Moors,I was really bussy cause I was the only animator and I was animating a shot per day and sometimes 2 or 3 in a day and with Biped :)..but I learn a lot of things including lots of effects,it´s really cool beliable characters and lots of scenarios very reallistic done by the guys from ESTUDIOFUTURE..

Now Is time to move to another studio until the next project starts..the Good thing I will be working in a TV Serial for children and it´s all done with Maya,so at least I can touch a bit the curve editor..yeah!

HEY!! NEW ANIMATION FINALLY DONE...!!

"BOOKS FALLING" from john on Vimeo.

Hi..just finished a new animation was fun to do,it was great for practise a bit more..I was thinking on add a cool end like jumping into a lamp or something and add more books falling ;but then I thought would be too long...tell me what you think ;)

Hola gente..acabo de terminar esta animación nueva ha sido divertido hacerla y bueno para practicar más que me hacía falta..estaba pensando en añadirle un final guay como saltar agarrando una lampara y que se calleran todos los libros..pero luego pensé que sería alargarlo mucho..contarme a ver que os parece y si añadiriaís algo;)

"COOL RIG FOR MAX"

2008-10-16T14:24:00.000-07:00

I found this great rig for 3dsmax 2008 called "Jorge" from Leanndro Amorim (looks like i´m the last to find this things he he) ,the character has complete ui facial and body things that you miss sometime for max ,so i think it Is great to test it..(pity is only for max 2008..seems like we have to upgrade to the last max..;),also contains a cool script that you can mirror a pose (like character studio) so i think is a great advance..from here thanks to Leandro just to make this nice rig;)

Here´s the link for the rig:

Navegando encontré este fantástico rig para 3dsmax 2008 que se llama "Jorge" de Leanndro Amorim(parece que soy el ultimo en enterarse cuando salen estas cosas je),el personaje tiene un ui facial muy completo y también del cuerpo ,cosas que se hechaban de menos en un rig para max,así que creo que es genial para testear..(una pena que solo sea para max 2008..habrá que actualizarse..;),tambien trae un script muy chulo para copiar la pose invertida (como character studio),así que creo que es un avance chulo..desde aquí gracias a leandro por hacer este genial rig ;)

PAINT ON YOUR VIEWPORTS!!

2008-10-12T08:26:00.000-07:00

I just saw this tool "DTools" ,from "Eric Legare" ,looks real great tool for all animators, you can paint and keyframe 2d drawing animation directly in your viewport.. (pity is not working for max 8);it´s great that this comes for Max users..Looking on Cgtalk i found this two more scripts: one from "Bobo" "PencilTool" and another from "Paul Neale" "PEN whiteBoard"
And for Maya users "Jason schleifer" ,made long time before one..
