Ball & Ink

More grief = more work.


Here's a very, very basic ink test for the ink splats from the ball. I really feel this sequence is way too fast and therefore it's difficult to put in detailed ink moevement.

Flythrough scene

I am blog illiterate.

Recently I have been working on modelling the flythrough scene that Susan is going to rotoscope as well as trying to figure out particle physics to imitate a washing machine, modelling and texturing the 3D environment for our animation and helping out with rigging for other projects (as if that wasn't enough, I thought I would take up French this year...nice one Jamie, nice one).

This is the result of the flythrough scene for the beginning of the animation. I tried my best to follow the backgrounds that Susan gave me for reference and this was the result :-

I am looking forward to seeing the end result with Suba's terrific backgrounds. (Also, the floating ball will be a bird at some point)

I hope to have some successful attempts of the washing machine and environment up soon too.

Ink Bleed

Sooo, I've been testing loads of colours and after constant badgering from Mr.Bell I've finally got round to uploading something. There's a variety of colours to stick up but here's a rough one just now. The masking technique has come in very useful for out ink effects and after many, oh sooo many different attempts we've finally come back to the very first one I tried! typical. 

Trees for "Inked"

Dog Runcycle

Hi there, Tara here. I've joined the Inked crew to provide the canine animations, as I have gained a sort of reputation for being a four-legged animator! Here's a basic inbetweened run-cycle for pooch, first shown on ones, then twos. There are a couple of mistakes including the chest fur popping, but once I've got to the finished thing I hope it will be both realistic and bouncy!
