3D Animation: Final Animation Preproduction #1

For my final project I took a lot of inspiration from the 2005 version of the film King Kong. I found a King Kong rig as well as a dinosaur rig in TurboSquid so I want to somewhat re-create the scene from the movie where Kong fights off some dinosaurs while protecting the lead girl. 





However instead of a female rig, I want to use the box rig. I created a storyboard to show my plan, I know it looks complicated, however, all of my previous animations were made in one nights work so I feel with 2-3 weeks work I am definitely capable of accomplishing this.



Beat List:

1. Box falls from sky
2. Box lands in jungle setting
3. Giant gorilla is chilling by box
4. Giant gorilla picks up box and is intrigued
5. Dinosaur launches into scene and bites gorilla arm
6. Gorilla swings box down onto the ground
7. Gorilla throws a haymaker into dinosaur
8. The gorilla and dinosaur start grappling/fighting (base fighting on where I am in the process)
9. Dinosaur almost steps on box
10. Gorilla catches foot and breaks leg
11. Gorilla snaps neck
12. Dinosaur dies on ground
13. Gorilla cheerfully picks up box again
14. Gorilla trips on dinosaur and flattens box
15. The End

Final Project: Results

Image
I have now fully completed my project. It took hours of painting, especially Kanye because his filament was black, so I had to so many layers of red to get it to look full and matte. I spent a lot of time on detailing and they both look exactly as I had imagined them to. I also threw on some mod podge to give them the full glossy look. I am super proud of what I created, I think they are at a decently professional standard.

3D Animation Class Blog Entry #1

 Hello, this is my first entry for our 3D animation class and so far the class has been pretty solid. We have only met in class once so far so we haven't accomplished much in a class setting, but outside of class we have created 2 animations. Even though the animations are very simple I have always been eager to learn how to render 3D animations so this is pretty exciting stuff and I'm proud of what I have accomplished so far. The process itself was challenging and took a while to learn, but I have a lot of experience dealing with 2D animation so the hassle of keyframes and stuff wasn't anything new. Honestly the biggest obstacle I've faced so far is just turning in my projects because the dropbox has been difficult. I know we were only expected to turn in the playblast, but I was very curious what the animation looked like rendered so I taught myself and I'm glad I did because of how the results turned out. It is also very cool how we are learning to rig our own mo...
