UCSI Assignment : Character Animation & Animation Project 1

Well, this is 2 most headache subject i had for previous sem. It totally killed my most brain cell. But no doubt, i do enjoy animating both this subject! NOTE! I mean only animating..not on rendering though :(

Character Animation : Meego in Love with Tuna

Is a subject based on character performances and interactive with object. Hence, this is what i did for my story..a real simple 1 LOL



Animation Project 1 : AI Robot

Another simple animation based on 2 characters, a boy and a robot. Spend my 14 weeks to produce this, a totall godlike subject that take off my sleeping hours



Well enjoy the videos and lemme know what do u think my work compare to last year ;)

UCSI Assignment : Post Production - Mark-X

Well this is my third subject for this sem, Post Production. We required to do some CG movie effect and it was a pair in a team. Scratching out head of on what to do, me and Mark decided to do Henshin effect LOL..too much Kamen Rider is bad for mind huh T__T

Before straight to the video, here are some funny video we did b4 preparing for the real footage ;P

And some "accident" that happen..sorry for my horrible laughing ;P

And here the real deal, wif CG ;)

Well, not a very good work..why? din put effort lor..seriously this is d subject that i never put effort in at all...too much work yet too little time to do :( been reli busy with my other 3D work..sigh

UCSI Assignment : 3D Matte Painting - Nothing is Useless in this World

Out of so many subjects i took this sem, the subject i hate most would be 3D Matte Painting. I love Matte Painting but i sucks in perspective. I dun have the EYE to see it :( thus i struggle this subject most..but yet, this is the easiest subject among all. The topic given by us for final project was Surrealism. Thus, i came out with this artwork called "Nothing is Useless in this World"

Nothing Useless in this World is a world where everything was created with recycle item/junk to replace the original. That's including living creatures. In this project, i focused into three elements : Sky, Water & Land.

 

 

Yups, most of the scene was photo montage and painted with Photoshop. The house was painted in photoshop as well and later using 3D Camera projection. The rest animal was created by 3D obviously and final edit with Adobe After Effect, before putting sound and compile up in Adobe Premier.

Well, here my video for Nothing is Useless in this World. I know is not perfect, i am not good with perspective :( but undeniable, 3D Matte painting is very important for most production nowdays. I gotta sharpen up my skill!

Anyway, C&C is alwiz welcome :)

Video Production : Short film - The Red Glove

Yes! 1 assignment down finally! Feel like 1/5 of the burden disappeared on my lazy shoulder. If u guys check my twitter last few weeks, i had been busy with my film shooting. Finally it had come to d end and my crew, FucukYimai done it! :D

I dun have time to do compilation of the making but i promise i'll post it ASAP! Meanwhile, enjoy the short film done by my group, FucukYimai titled The Red Glove!

Besides, here is 1 of the video done by my junior. I think is kinda worth watching for the story.

Well, not a perfect short film for my crew. Reason?

1) We cant focus doing this shit alone since v got another 5 production to rush

2) not enuf experienced man power

3) low or i suppose no budget production

4) Things happen last minute

5) SHIT do HAPPEN last MINUTE!

As usual, C&C is alwiz welcome ;)

Assignment : TVC Shooting

Oh yea, had my very first real life TVC shooting on last week with my groups. It is my assignment for Video Production 1. We had to shoot a commercial that run 30 second exactly. Borrowed the video cam from my school and this is actually my first time engage into such gorgeous. But still, i able to master it quite fast since it pretty similar to DSLR. But too bad, it still running tape, no memory card.

* Yes i am excited cameraman ;) *

Well the first day of recording kinda screw up. Not enuf actors and the main actress cant show up. So basically the first day of shooting was waste of time. But it also a good lesson to me to get familiar to shoot with the cam.

* Thats our product *

On the second day, thats gonna b real shooting. MG was our main actress and icon for our product in the commercial. She did pretty great job but i believe she can do more by practicing it few times earlier b4 start shooting. Oh well, we are actually lack of time :(

* Working in small team is hard *

* MG our main actress *

* Pity Max waiting his turn till sienz *

Overall it is fun experience :) Oh not to forget, we still got one more time for shooting a short film for our final project. We plan to do thriller ;) hope it success!

* My crew :D *

And thanks to the second day of shooting, i sick for d next 2 days and unable to do my work..sigh, life sucks. The commercial footage havent start edit yet. Will b post up to here once we done it ;)

Seriously this sem i am reli busy. Get abit luxury on life might make me stress for next few weeks. Right now i am entering production period for all my subject. 1 of the subject i took this sem was 3D Matte Painting. Yups i m pretty sure u guys know what is matte painting means :)

So a Question, what combination of all this can be?

* Source Image from Google *

ok i m not showing off my skill, just felt funny that my painting had became like HDR when i did it last mon XD

ok is not done yet, still got alot stuff to fix in the painting. Gotta work hard on it. And nop, the submission is not base on d image but a video. tats what it mean 3D Matte Painting. Almost done texturing my 3D object and gotta put it together with the painting later to do a short video :)

this is not final version product yet :) Gotta work on my Character Animation, Video Production, Animation Project & Post Production video as well in this week..hypermegagigasupersohaistress now :(

Rendering Assignment

As u all know i m pursuing to 3D Animation path since last 2 years. To be honest i had made it until today i was happy wif it. Though my work is not excellent yet but at least i had make my 1st step. I need to get myself expose more to b better. Though i admit i enjoy doing 3D animation, but i have to admit there are certain part i dun reli like it. Is either i dun have talent on it or i dun have enuf practice. One of them would be rendering. I got 2 final assignment for Rendering subject.

The first 1 would be render a Car (3d model) with a scene (picture) given. I used Maya Software and basic shader to do it. Well, i knew my car is not realistic enuf. So phail

2nd was render a Restaurant-like-room. Same requirement wif d top 1, need render as realistic as possible. I m using Mental Ray with this with MIA X shader. To be honest i guess i m familiar with Maya Software more but i juz wanna give myself a try on Mental Ray.

Well, i guess i need practice more on both. I m not gonna give up yet! But in d same time i wish i could b modeler or animator.

Kamen Rider Justis! Part 3

This is the 3rd post for my 3D Character Modeling, Kamen Rider Justis. Yes is a part of my assignment. Until today i still cant believe it that i have model my very first 3D Character. Not to mention is a Kamen Rider originally designed by me. Ok i knew it lack of originality in terms of the eyes (inspire from Den-O eyes) and V shape horn (inspire from W w shape horn). I model him a scarf as well as a symbol of Showa rider. And the final product design is totally differences than my original design..hehe

Here is my character wireframe and with shader

Well we are suppose to make him in a pose and a prop to match with the character. This is what i come out with, a simple battle ground environment and a pose he performing final attack, not a rider kick yet.

And here a video for my Kamen Rider Justis turntable. Soundtrack by Kamen Rider W original OST (track 22)

Well, at least i had made my first step to my future career as 3d animator. I dunno which part i wanna be in an animator team, but i wish i could do modeling and animating. It is fun to c a simple polygon become a character and u give life to it by rigging and animate it.

Lets hope in future i could have my very own animation! A Kamen Rider animation perhaps? :P

Xrosbot Animation

Still remember the Xrosbot trailer i made in previous post? Ok it was it's Animation but nth to do with the trailer i made XP. From my previous post, i mentioned that i using 2 character from my design in to the trailer. And now this 2 character was existed in this animation.

Before the Animation, here a brief introduction of the characters.

Bryster (in the trailer i name him as Cyclone Brigthstar) is the main character in this animation. He is a greedy thief. He sneak into bank and try to steal all the golds in the Gold Room.

Here are the character turntable, wireframe and wif shader.

Here is my second character in d animation, Gray (in the trailer i name him as Joker Gray). Gray is the security guard for the bank. However he is lazy and tend to neglect his duty.

Here are the character turntable, wireframe and wif shader.

It is a quite simple modeling..well, is solo assignment, cant expect much rite since i need balance up everything..plus time consuming is one of the major concern.

Anyway, i guess from d character profile u can guess what d animation about. It is quite short, simple and ez to understand. Enjoy ;)

p/s presentation ended! I am officially hols!!! Any date for me? :D
