Check out some of my 3d stuff.

[Jesse]

I've been getting into a lot of 3d modeling and animation within the last year, and just the other night I taught myself how to rig up models with bone structures, for complex animations. So I started playing around and ended up with the quick little animation you see below.



Immediately after I finished this one, I was inspired to begin working on a very complex animation. I did a number of different sketches of this during idle time at work and in classes. And tonight I was finally able to sit down and get cracking on it.

What I'm gonna make is a 3d ball that rolls into the scene from the horizon. Once the ball stops, it begins transforming and opening up. Once it is fully opened, 4 mechanical arms will fold out from the inside, and on the end of each arm, will be a screen. If it comes out like I'm thinking it will, I might turn the whole thing into my new portfolio website. The entire thing would be Flash animated. It'll look pretty rad if I can get it to what I'm thinking about.

Anyway, here's a couple pics of what I got done tonight. I skimped on a few details for now. I'll go back and add all kinds of small stuff once the big stuff is done.



And as it's opened:



Completely opened:



As I said, there's lots more to be done to it.

And here is a quick 2-3 second animation test I did. The model used in this brief animation is what I had before I started over. Though animation will be exactly the same, there will be mechanical arms attached to everything, as you see above.



Anowho, it's time for bed.

i can completely picture the whole screen thing, thats gonna be really sweet. good idea

[Jesse]

Did some more work on it. Coming along nicely.

[Jesse]

Played with my textures and what not. Coming along nicely.





More details to come.

And an animation of the progress:

wow, dude, i have to say i am really impressed.

post more when you get it.

Kinda taken a break from the ball for a bit. There's an art show at my school in April, so I'm going to prepare a series of prints using this guy I just finished last night:



I'm gonna make a cute dog for him, and perhaps a wife, and put them in scenes doing human things.

All you computer guys are becoming so successful. I still just check my email and use word, as I have always done with my computer as the only non computer savvy member of this board. Kudos dude.

[thecreeper]

hopefully they will be doing horrible things.

[Jesse]

Worked some more on it tonight. Adding his kitchen now.

He's gonna be sitting down, reading a newspaper written entirely in binary.

[Jesse]

I was able to put in a few more hours tonight.



More of the kitchen to come. As well as tweaking a few small things.

[GT2000]

You're still planning on doing a design for the site, right?? Heh, looking cool as hell so far.

[raditz]

wow that's some cool stuff. something i'd like to learn to do sometime.

[Mr Biglesworth]

Yeah that's all sweet dude.

[Jesse]

Thanks d00dz.

I'll keep posting updates.

If I'm pleased with the end result, I'm gonna sell 40x30 inch prints from my Deviantart account.

[Jesse]

Wee.

That pool table is why I'm not afraid of robots.

[thecreeper]

seriously. that's not even a pool table. lazy. robots put some billiard balls on a stretcher and called it a day.

[Jesse]

HEY!

I've been so sick lately. I couldn't even think straight, took me so long to model that simple fucking pool table. It's gonna be a lot better, when I sit down with it again.
