Well, something completely different today. I'm learning from this Video-tutorial for 3DS Max. We need to work with that program for school. The upcoming next weeks i'm gonna learn alot about the basics of 3DS Max. It's all very theoretical and all, so i really have to drag myself through it, but once i did the fun can begin... So i'm looking forward to that.

What you see above are just some basic Loft-editing and Scattering effects i learned today...

Well, these are my first results of life-drawings, since i've got the book 'Dynamic Life Drawing For Animators' of Mattesi. And my reference of course is Muybridge's 'The Human Figure in Motion'. I'm going to study this topic all year long, so i hope you could see some progress in a few, weeks or months...

Here are some more sketches to get a hang of the character. I also coloured one, just to see how it would look like. All these models are off-model. But that's okay... for now. I was just experimenting and try to figure out what the character was capable of. The next step is to get it on model... I also have a little monologue prepared which i wil use for lipsyncing.

I'm starting to focus on clothing. This is my first try. Offcourse i did clothes before, but now i'm really trying to focus how they interact with the body. And i'm using fashion-magazines as a reference to get a wider view of clothing. So i won't be longer stuck with the traditional shirt and pants...

This is a decor that i have drawn. For another school assignment. The goal here is to work with day and night colors, and how colors change when they are in a greater distant... So let's start photoshopping...

Still working on the Lip-Sync Character. Trying some different poses here and off course more emotions... More to come soon... I really start to get the hang of it...

Hi, i'm working on this schoolproject. a lip-sync assignment. This is a frog-like character that we all got from the teacher. We have to keep to the modelsheet. But i couldn't help myself and started to fool around with the characters mimics...
