Work module - Toys!

We recieved a work brief from a dude who works at OddCo, a company who create toys, basically the brief was to design a small range of characters that could be made into toys based around a certain theme... as I have been on a scary (but cute) kick at the moment I decided to go with that theme. Needless to say I have been really excited to start designing for this module... so I knuckled down today, when I shoulda been at college, and came up with these guys.

The feet need work still...

I basically made them in Cinema 4D and UV mapped some 2D faces onto them, they were a ton of fun to do. Even if I don't get chosen to make one I will just be happy that I'll have some more stuff to show on the Final Show!

more progress...

I've been enjoying my 3D work of late, so I've been doing quite a bit of work, in the past 2 days I've managed to rig 3 characters and produce walk cycles for all 3 as well as a test scene from the actual animation I will be producing; here they are.

At this rate I should have a 3D animation completed for Final Show, I am really pleased with how these are turning out.

There have been some minor problems with the rigs on two of the characters, but they seem to be trivial as the rig has worked perfectly thus far.

The joints seem to stick through the skin, the only problem I've encountered
so far, and it hasn't effected the movements of the characters at all, there is probably
a very easy fix.

 

updatin'

I had a good easter... I did no work, but it was good.I went to Pictoplasma in the second week, I found it and the city of Berlin both really great, I may upload some photos I took from my phone if I have the chance.

Although I did no work over easter, the past few days I have actually been working quite hard, here is my progress...

Tons of fun designing and making these guys, rigged and
moving.

Another colour guy, he'll be part of my final show
when I get him completed along with the Blue and
Green guy I did a month or so back.
