ATRG Evolution- Group One Basic



So this is what I've created so far for the Client project - ATRG. I've got a basic walk cycle up, all I need to do is set up the transitions between evolutionary levels and background scenery. I've made the rest and they're just sat waiting to be uploaded into a walk cycle on After Effects. Hopefully should have this and the Catalogue project done by latest next week. Giving me a good few weeks to concentarte solely on my Research Project. I got some more books, two through the post yesterday; "The Art of Hotel Transylvania" and "What's so Funny". Also bought "Monsters in Films", "Character Mentor" and "Fantasy Art Workshop" These last three books are just for general purposes rather than for the Research Project. I am also slowly making my way through the Tex Avery Book, I writing notes in it as I go along, just small summaries and useful quotes bit of knowledge and references to certain small animations, it helps so I dont have to keep re reading it and can progress through it quicker, I've also realised in the back are two long interviews with Avery himsef, excited to read what he has to say.
Anyway reading a side, back to finsihing off these other two smaller projects.

Sorry...

Hey sorry its been over a week since my last posting, I had to take some time out for a few days, I basically just worked myself into the ground. Anyway back on it now, and with the Maya deadline looming I've been researching and studying Proceedural Animation, I don't want to just create a scene from a tutorial I want to understand it. Its an awesome thing, with some really awesome effects. The more I learn and understand it the more I can utilise it, and add it to my own Pirate scene, when the time comes to building it. I want to grasp the process 1st before building anything. I've an idea in mind, well two, one easy the other a more advance version which I could do over summer. The fancy advance one is a space Pirate scene, but to do it justice I want to practice a little more 1st, the other is a deserted island, with the remenant of a single pirate. Oh and a flag with the black spot, which used to mean death, remember that from the old Treasure Island film as a kid. Loved that film!! Anyway I'm going to make it into a small animation like the beginning of a film, I've been looking at fluid effects for the past few days, creating a stormy sea. Well I'm not gonna give too much away yet, just incase I change my mind again. Here is a shot of my stormy waters:
Pretty good huh?
