Hey guys! It's been a while. I'm great, thanks for asking.

 

I've been doing some work for my undergraduate animation class that I thought might be appreciated here. The model isn't particularly impressive, I've done much better, and I made it by following a YouTube tutorial because I was feeling un-inventive that day. I think the animation of it is much more interesting, so that's what I want to share.

 

As for why I made a new thread even though I do have one already: I didn't think it would be appropriate to revive a thread with six pages of dead image links just to have this as the last post. Also, I've been posting in that thread since I was a freshman in high-school and my old online presence embarrasses me.

 

I did my modelling work in 3ds MAX and then moved over to Maya to create a skeleton and frame out my animations. I hate Maya. It's no fun to use. But I did it anyway. Because that's the kind of man I am.

I have two other animations that are saved as .webm files instead of .gif so I can't embed them in this post. You can see them here if you want.

 

Peace out y'all.

Welcome back, it's been a long time since you've been around!

Also, that's a good animation. I like it.

You rat bass'turd... I'd kiss you on the lips, if either one of us had any.  

 

I like it, and will continue to do so even after I leave this topic.

Is it hitting some uncanny valley territory with you, Mathijs?
