I wrote and directed it, (this is actually my debut as a director) and it was produced at the Blender Institute in Amsterdam.<br />

The production was very quick, just a little over 7 weeks, so it was quick and intense. So far the response has been really good!<br />

It got a bit nerve racking, especially since I haven't been drawing much in recent years, and I elected to do all my drawings only in ink, with no pre-pencilling allowed.<br />
<br />
Still, it was fun and I'll definitely be doing it again next year. Below is a selection of this year's drawings:

Here's a simple addon I just wrote for Blender. It automatically generates a panel in the Properties shelf for toggling visibility for the layers of a rig. Previously this required a custom python script for each character, but by using this addon you can have a panel simply by adding some extra properties to your rig.<br />
<br />
Firstly, download and install it from here:<br />
<a href="http://www.pasteall.org/41442/python">http://www.pasteall.org/41442</a><br />
(copy and paste it into a new text file, save it as "autoRigLayers.py", then install and enable it in Blender via the user prefs)<br />
<br />

<br />
<ol>
<li>Make a property called "autoRigLayers" and set its value to "1"</li>
<li>Make a property called "layer.1" and set its value to the appropriate layer name.</li>
<li>Repeat step 2 for all the rig layers that you want to appear on the panel</li>
</ol>
<br />
Optionally you can set the number of columns in the panel. This is done by adding property called "layer.cols" and setting its value to a whole number.<br />

The idea was to do something simple and quick. Pablo and I came up with a story involving 2 of his characters, Koro and Pichin. who are based on animals from Pablo's home territory of Patagonia. We also wanted to finish the whole thing in about 2 weeks.<br />
<br />
I ended up doing the principal animation on all but 2 of the shots (that's about a minute's worth of animation in 2 weeks). Unfortunately the rendering side of things took longer than expected, largely due to some technical hitches we encountered, but in the end we finished it and I'm actually quite happy with it!<br />
<br />
We also got the very talented <a href="http://janmorgenstern.com/" target="_blank">Jan Morgenstern</a> to make us a Carl Stalling / Warner Bros type soundtrack, and as soon we added it the whole thing came alive.<br />

We're hoping to do some more shorts in this style in the future. They sure are fun to work on, and I think we can get a style that you don't often see in other shorts being released these days.<br />

<br />
<br />
In 2012 I worked on a game (<a href="http://eatsheep.com/">Eat Sheep</a>), a tv series (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBvlaP07JRw&t=2m12s">Jokie</a>), 3 short films ("<a href="http://urchn.org/">Tube</a>", "Diamant", and "<a href="http://caminandes.com/" target="_blank">Caminandes</a>" all soon to be released) as well as teaching a one week course at the Blender Institute, producing a new training DVD and developing a new character rig for the Blender community. It's those last two projects that I will cover in this post.<br />
<br />

<br />
Following on from the success of the "<a href="https://cgcookie.com/products-page/blender-training-series-categories/blender-animation-fundamentals-training-series/" target="_blank">Blender Animation Fundamentals</a>" training series, I was asked by CG Cookie to produce another series. For this one I wanted to go into more advanced topics like lip sync, acting and how to set up a multi camera, multi character dialogue shot.<br />
<br />
For this, I need a new rig. So I enlisted the help of concept artist <a href="http://www.davidrevoy.com/2-portfolio.html" target="_blank">David Revoy</a>, rigger <a href="http://cessen.com/" target="_blank">Nathan Vegdahl</a> and CG Cookie's own <a href="http://jw3d.com/" target="_blank">Jonathan Williamson </a>to help with the modelling. Together we worked for months to develop a flexible character rig for people to use when studying animation. You can see some of the results in the pic above. All these characters are the same rig.<br />
<br />
The training series "<a href="http://cgcookie.com/blender/2012/11/14/blender-training-character-animation-toolkit/" target="_blank">The Blender Animation Toolkit</a>" was released in November and so far has been very well recieved. Nathan also contributed some tutorials for it, so it's well rounded and shows many different approaches and techniques to animating characters in Blender.<br />
<br />
In the spirit of open source, we also <a href="http://cgcookie.com/blender/2012/12/14/cg-cookie-flex-rig-download/" target="_blank">released the rig to the world as creative commons</a>. You can get it <a href="http://www.blendswap.com/blends/characters/cookie-flex-rig/" target="_blank">here</a>.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07125168956265045290noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296951897329511823.post-89035516125195585052012-02-03T19:59:00.001+11:002012-02-03T20:06:01.391+11:00Eat Sheep - work in progress<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I'm currently working on <a href="http://www.cgcookie.com/" target="_blank">Cg Cookie</a>'s new iPad game "<a href="http://eatsheep.com/" target="_blank">Eat Sheep</a>". I'm doing the rigging and animation for it. It's lots of fun, with plenty of cuteness.<br />

"Animation Fundamentals in Blender"<br />

<br />
This was some of the hardest work I've ever done...<br />
Trying to do something in under an hour I would normally do in a couple of days, while trying to describe what I'm doing in an understandable way. A real challenge!<br />
<br />
Still, I think it turned out alright, I'm really excited about the possibility of getting people into the crazy world of animation!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07125168956265045290noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296951897329511823.post-81890794519204313812011-11-01T20:55:00.001+11:002012-01-16T23:39:16.149+11:00Happy Feet 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

About a month ago I finished up work on Happy Feet 2. I worked in the animation department at<a href="http://drdstudios.com/" target="_blank"> Dr. D studios</a> in Sydney for the last 3 months of production (aka "crunch time"). I worked on 13 shots all up, mainly facial animation on motion captured penguin characters, but I was also lucky enough to get to animate some fully keyframed bird flying shots. It was a great experience to work on such a big production and with so many talented people. The movie is being released world wide this month.<br />
<br />

Once it is released I will be able to update my showreel with the actual shots I worked on. <br />

Earlier this year I was lucky enough to work on 2 games projects for "A Split Second", the games project produced by <a href="http://www.submarinechannel.com/" target="_blank">Submarine Channel</a> for the <a href="http://www.stedelijk.nl/" target="_blank">Stedelijk Museum</a> in Amsterdam. <br />The games were designed by contemporary Dutch artists Han <strong style="font-weight: normal;">Hoogerbrugge</strong> and Marcel van Eeden. Each have their own very personal styles and it was quite a challenge to try to reproduce them in a realtime 3d environment.<br />
