3D Modelling - Robot Head

It has taken almost 20 tries but I have finally made a decent robot head for my animation. Please note that the body is just a premade model that comes with 3DS MAX and I will be making my own body.

The story is: A robot breaks into a secure science lab type place to steal a battery as he is almost out of power... in a nutshell.

3D Modelling - Gatling Turret

Hi all.
It's been a while since I last posted so heres an update on what I've been doing:

I have been getting stuck into modelling all the things I need for my 3D short film (storyboard available for download in previous post). This is a gatling turret that will feature in the animation.

I have only been using 3DS Max (program to be used for all the 3D work) for about a month now. I'm learning fast and hope to have all my modelling done by the end of this term.

Stickpage Tournament Is Finished!!!

Finally the stickpage tournament is over. Now comes the gruelling wait for the results. You can watch the trailer for the round 1 compilation here: http://www.fluidanims.com/view.php?id=3486

Now I will resume work on learning fullbody animation and my "lolpredators" project.

Here are a couple more screenshots of my round 3 entry:

I am doing a short 3D animation course as an elective subject and I have to create a 20+ second 3D animation by the end of the year. Here is the first draft storyboard: http://filebox.me/download?filepath=files/ujtwbgxw0_StoryBoard.pdf&filename=StoryBoard.pdf


There will be more to come.

Crunch Time

With only days left until the stickpage.com tournament is over I am now in panic mode. I have only got 30 seconds of aniamtion out of 2 minutes+. My weekend must be dedicated to this animation or this would have all been a waste >.<

Random Update

Its been a while since I've updated my blog so I'll just fill you in on whats been doin. I haven't had much time to work on my comp entry and its due next week! If I don't get a massive amount of it done this weekend I'm screwed. Ive only done about 15% aswell :S

Also I'm doing a little 3D animation course as an elective subject for my film course which is exciting.

EDIT: Here's another pic I thought was cool:

Progress....

I havent been working on my round 3 animation much purely because of lazyness. I finally did some animation today and started to draw a bunch of backgrounds. So far the animation is 10 seconds and I estimate that the final thing will be about a minute and a half or more.

Round 3 - Final Round

I have begun my Round 3 entry for the stickpage tournament. This is the setting for the animation. This should be the most interesting round yet. I'll try to go all out on this one and make the best animation possible.
