Au Francé

Here's a making of video of the first ever 3D TV series Insektors. Old classic.

Take note of the primitive technology, but really good animation principle. It's pretty broken, but cool non the less.

Rabbit Ears

Options, options, options...



Here's a turnaround with some ears. Feedback required on:

a) Do the ears work going up the top of the helmet?
b) Is this a good ear design?
c) Anything else need fixing or tweaking?
d) When are we going to the pub?

Orange progress without ears




So here's where I'm at.

These images show the left half as a single smooth proxy of the right half, which is the modeled resolution. In a nutshell, that means we'll be rigging and texturing with the right, rendering with the left.

I haven't invented a tongue yet, and the ears are the only thing left to figure out.

This look good so far?

Final Orange Revision With Tom's Words Of Wisdom



The final update on the character, Orange. Pulled in his vest after talking with Bombi about the previous revision. Vest is now alot easier with bending with it now being more snug around his body, also brang in pockets so there are no interfering extrusions later on. Also the side and front view, saving you guys to cut it out of the model sheet when placing it into maya.

NOTE: I forgot to put the ears on the helmet. Its easy enough to model on the helmet, just keep rechecking the size with the previous example.

Easter Is Our Inspiration




Hey guys, re-did the character design with for Orange like Louise and Bombi were talking about in our meeting. There could be a problem with him bending excessively in his vest but Ive looked through the storyboards and the most he bends is when he looks up after he falls over.

Much appreciated if you guys can contact me as soon as you can somehow on what you think, so I can start working on the Blue turnaround cause it makes sense to give him one as well.

Also Ive put the ears on his helmet, im personally not sure about, i think it kinda works. It defiantly has a better silhouette.
