Hello everybody

First of all: If the video stopped and you want to see it again: Simply press 'F5'

All right :-)
I thought it's time to show something from my character animation school where I started in Summer 2007.
Of course I'm still quite a beginner and school will go on for quite a while, but this is what I have got so far.
The reel starts with the latest work about body mechanics and then goes back to the very early bouncing ball animations and character poses.

Character Animation really is so much fun. Trying to make a 'dead' character feeling alive through animation is definitely amazing :excited:
Sure, it's also complicated and sometimes frustrating, especially at the beginning... but damn, I love it! :D

Comments are much appreciated, I'm looking forward to hear what you are all thinking about it.
Also critique is appreciated. Maybe you see something that feels wrong to you... too fast, too slow... whatever, let me know. I'm still learning this and every constructive help is really useful to me.

Thanks a lot,
Oliver


P.S. About the category 'Flash': Sure, this is 3D Animation, not Flash Animation. But there is no other way to upload it on DA, unfortunately.

Wow, your work is really professional! Keep it up.

Perhaps I just missed it, but what tool are you using?

Thanks a lot! Well, I'm still quite at the beginning, so I hope the '2008' reel next Christmas will be much better :-)
About the tool: I animated this in Maya, but well, that's not really important. We get the Rigs only for Maya, so...
You can do this also in Tools like XSI, Cinema4D, MAX...

Well, keep it up!

Have you ever used Blender 3D? Its open source, and surprisingly powerful. I would be curious to hear what someone who is used to Maya would think of it.

Yeah I heard of it. As far as I know (never tried it) it has a lot of very nice tools and is definitely worth having a closer look. Some people do excellent stuff with it. That shows that it is more about the artist anyway, not so much about what tool he/she uses.

But for me: I'm already quite familiar with Cinema4D and a bit with Maya. I don't need another one. IF I would learn an other tool, it probably would be XSI or maybe also Modo.
