Comments(0) Just testing the maya animation tools and playing with graph editor. For this project I’m thinking of doing something like a Ren and Stimpy-esque character bouncing around on his butt.
We’ll see how it turns out.

Well, if you don’t know what this is….shame on you. For the project, I’m working on a flight plan for this little jewel to buzz around this….
It’s an older model I did of a “Zeppelin-esque” spaceship. It’s relatively large (~300ft long). The plan is for the Swordfish II to fly around this zep-ship using expressions. I’m working on the logistical aspects of achieving a believable flight path using “armatures” and alot of parenting. Essentially, to get the large, arcing turns of the fighter, I might have it parented to an object at the arc center and time it’s rotation with for loops and if statements. Anyway, still working on it. laters.
ps - Go buy the Cowboy Bebop DVD…….

Yeah. Just playing with the Expression Editor, trying to get a feel for. I just made my Tumbler do some donuts. As for the real assignment, I’m thinking of a WWII fighter plane dogfight/furball. Tallyho…..

Just gotta finish up some of the basic “shell”, engine bell, and armor elements. Then I can get into the feel fun……detailing.

Starting the model. I grabbed this blueprint off of www.the-blueprints.com/
It’s a great site. These orthographic drawings are the base from which I’m modelling the car. I use a toy and other images of the car to get the finer details (parts, line angles, etc). Don’t worry…..I’ll finish it. hehe.

Well, I bought the movie, I found some orthographic blueprints of it, I found a slew of reference images, and I bought the remote control toy version of it.
If someone else does a car, we should race. laters.
