The Final Film!

Ta-daaa.

Maya and what have you

Here, by popular demand, is a screenshot of my Maya workspace. Note the organisation of the layers and the outliner.

It's coming along nicely!

I know there's only a tiny bit left to put in (and even that's animated and half-rendered), but I couldn't resist putting up what I've completed so far. The audio took ages to tweak so that the different sounds and music worked together, but it's finally reached a point where I can import the final segment, export the video and not worry about it.

3D Animation Test 2

This test is a bit too fast-paced (no worries, I'll just bung a few more frames in), but the main movements and expressions (excluding little superfluous twitches) seem okay.

I'm still working on the lighting (I don't want it to be too dark to see the characters) and I need to texture the sidewalk in the background, but I'm happy with how it's looking.

Yeah, I called it a sidewalk. It's set in New York! I'm a method animator, ya hear?
