Thesis

So I haven't died, I promise. Not quite yet. I am still working towards my Master's degree in Animation and New Media here at NC State. I am buried in work between a full load of graduate level classes, working 20 hours a week at Intellimedia doing video games, writing my paper thesis, and then working on my thesis project! Not much longer left until something gives...or me :)

I love what I am doing...animating, modeling, texturing,...anything in 3D! Even flexing my rigging fingers some.

Meet Joe, the main character in my short. I modeled him, texured him, rigged him using an automatic rigger by J. Baskin, and am animating him too. Anyways, I just wanted to show the world my new guy.

Cheers, ya'll!

Here are some of the models and animations from the game I have been working on at Intellimedia. I modeled, textured, and animated these guys. I did not do the rigging, though I did paint the weights for deformation.

They are really low poly for the game, so it was interesting to animate such limited rigs and geometry. It has certainly been a new way of thinking about 3D for me.
