Rodney unvehiled!

Ok I promise updates and you can see here one of the character of my uncomming short (someday in the future). Appeling, tell me what you think.

Busy!!!

Wow! Too much work lately (some of them great projects), but my short go ahead, slowly for sure but go ahead. I hope to give you (if really there is someone watching this blog) some updates now that holidays are pretty near.

I love drawing

Only 3 minutes and you can enjoy creating a character that's why I love drawing.

Rodney

Hi, this is Rodney from my new short. Some comercial works delayed the production but I'm more concerned about the quality tahn the release date. You can see some new thumbnails in drawing section aswell.

"Weighting"

I'm working in the weights for the mesh. That's a really boring task but you have to do if you want your characters deform properly. Moreover I'm working with a new program and well animate it's animate and there is "no problem" with that, but rigging are a very especifics task and each software have similarities but a lot of differences. Beacause of I'm spending more time that usually do.

Second character almost finished!

Ok no new image, but the second character for short is almost completed, keep going!

News about Short production

Ok this weekend has been very productive, I've finished one character modeling and I've been making some test with the setup. This part is dificult because I´m using new software for animation and some things work in a different way. But one of my goal was learn new software. I know that could be dangerous but I don't want to be limited to only one software anymore. I hope to upload some images from Rodney (thats the name from my puppet, like Rodney in "Robots") as soon as posible.

New short in production!

This is the weirdest way to begin a short production. This hand belongs to a character from the short I begin. Well... the true is that I have a script, a story and character design but this hand is the firt thing I made with the computer for this short.

Now it's time to begin with a production planning because a short could a very overhelming thing and you need to have a plan if you want have sucess in this task. So I hope to get my producctión planning very soon.

Stay tuned!!
