Another Zbrush exercise to create facial expressions, I decided to use a pig base.

Boxer

After many animation exercises, I decided I should post one ... this exercise was to have a two combat series in which each goes back to an idle pose before moving onto the next.

Child's Play Charity

Child's Play Charity is an amazing organization that puts games in the hands of kids in hospitals.  Check them out and see what they do - maybe even donate.  They are AMAZING ... and our video is officially one their website, so check that out, too!

Animation Team Production, pt.1

So, I know I've been a little MIA lately, but for a good reason.  I have been working on a "top secret" project with my team production class this semester.  The class does an animation project for a non-profit group to help in any way that they can.  Our client for this semester was Child's Play (http://childsplaycharity.org/), the non-profit organization for Penny Arcade (http://www.penny-arcade.com/).  If you are into gaming or comics at all, you know how amazing this experience is and how excited I got when we found out.

Here is the first installation of a blog that is happening for the Team Production class to outline the process ... Enjoy!
