Persians Launched

We just launched / are launching the new civilization for Age of Empire Online the Persians;

 So within the next few weeks I will be posting up a video showing off all the animations I have done for the persians. Just need to double check that im allowed to but I wouldn't see why not. Either way I will provide a list of things I have done for the persians for those who are interested.

Also I believe its time I update my resume since the one on here is out of date.....

Job for me hurray

Well got the job at Gas Powered Games and cant be more excited bout it. Since posting anything I do does require some permission from Microsoft even though the two new civs (Persians and Celts) were announced the the Age of Empire Online game I will post up trailers for now.

So far I have done a lot of secondary animations and building destruction using Reactor in 3D max. The game ships with two civs, the Egyptians and Greeks and I haven't done any work for either of them since I joined while they were in the middle of the Celts.

For the time being, here is our most recent trailer.

Graduation

I have been inactive a bit lately if you can tell. I have graduated from Digipen now and I have an internship at Gas Powered Games as an animation intern.


Beyond that nothing new to really show since I started my internship right after graduation and it takes up most of my time so I haven't done anything new at all. But all I can say is I am doing animation for the new Age Of Empire Online game at Gas Powered Games currently. I hope this internship turns into a full time job, but only time will tell as my internship is over early July.

New and Old

Last day of class at Digipen! Graduation in 4 days, feels great.

Here is my final for my Ani 400 class all rendered out.

Still want to do another pass at the matte painting to clean it up and make it look less rushed.

And I found this old after effects I did that I really enjoyed doing, So I think I will post it up.

The Emedding is wonky so it requires you to jump onto youtube sorry.

End is near

I haven't post in the past month because of my last month of school and focusing on it so much. Our senior project is done I will post the full video up here very soon but for now im going to up up a short snippet of what animations I did, later I will include the full renders of each scene.

I was surprised to find out how much Motion Blur add to a final animation, I feel like it makes it all look so much better.

As well I have nearly finished my animation for my other class.

Still figuring how to do the cuts but im happy where I am with it

Almost there

More cleaning up

Rawr

Progressing on fire blast shot. Obviously the FX isn't in yet, our tech artists is working on the separately. Still need to rework Alex's pose before he falls back and some clean up on the dragons curves.
