IndoCG Animation Challenge #9: Parkour

So I've decided to join this competition. The theme is interesting and I need to animate with 3dsMax after a long time or else I'll forgot how to do it.
The challenge is about parkour. Fun body mechanic.

The administrator of the challenge is kind enough to share many awesome references. It's more than enough for me, far from enough, therefore I went to editing software and cut just the movement I need and put them into one single clip so It will be easier for me to study from it.

The video became a great guide and it's quite tight for me not to wander around into ideas that is too far from what has been needed.

Time to start animating.

Somehow I enjoy doing this animation with straight ahead animation. It's fun, surprising, and challenging. It's not a good method for team work and industry I warn you. But since it's a personal work and free to do thing, I jump into it and really, it sucks me into deep pool of fun and curiosity of how my own work will become in the end.

First day in doing it. The start always the hardest and the longest to do. I did it o the weekend but lead me into only approximately 60 frames on 25 fps PAL video format. Started from 10 AM and post it in around 2 AM next morning

2nd day the excitement begins. Ideas flew faster.

[Will be edited for the next progress]

Start by reviving the dead old chat box.

Monster Beats™ by Dr. Dre™ Tour

Just got my hand on this

Here's some piccies I took with my camera.

 

I want this earphone after I saw Lara Croft used it on her new trailer

 

 

 And my friend told me that Denzel Washington and Mila Kunis wears it too on The Book of Eli. So I do quick search and he's right.

 I guess I'm a victim of brainwash advertisement. But still this earphone not just looks cool but got great sound, especially on bass area.
So it's me, looking as cool as Lara Croft and Mila Kunis, and enjoying amazing music, anytime, anywhere.

Bored + Cintiq = New Art

 








I was bored that day at office and start to doodle on my Cintiq [office's Cintiq to be more precise], in the end the concept got pretty interesting so after work hour I moved it into my flashdrive and continued it home with my lovable Intuos. It was getting exciting and took me until 2 o' clock in the morning till I finish this.

The close up shot, if it's still to small, just click it for bigger view.

And this is the step by step progress. I've used black and white value technique before which is not quite satisfying for me, but this one does better. I start to have grip for this way of creating depth, and it's faster too. With this I can color the picture as a whole composition, not part by part.

Photography Blog

So I decided to move my photography posts to specific blog because it happened that I'm pretty busy with session lately. I planned to use this blog for my art journal and online portfolio. Photography is still a hobby and advantage factor for my job, so I can't let it dominates this site. So, to manage it better and trying to give the best for the blog readers, any photography works and talks would be move to http://hirumakameko.blogspot.com/.
It's still under construction, probably 50%, but I already moved, retouched, and posted some of new works. You can check it if you want.

Punyu Redesign [Update]

I'm trying to make Punyu design more realistic and less cartoony, not that less cartony just more believable. The previous one is just too 2 dimensional for me. I give her more anatomical body, better proportion, slight boobs pumping, and feet(!). The design is still a work in progress.

click the picture for a bigger view

Some mechanical super fist? Idk. I'm still researching

Update:

Older Punyu. Now she has more anatomical hot body, and more mature face.
