Rube Goldberg Machine

Made a Rube Goldberg machine for physics class. Here's a 3d model of part of it. I didn't render the dominoes or mousetraps.
Orthographic and perspective views both there.

Oops!

I didn't manage to update yesterday, because I was working on a physics project all night.

Here is a weird face to make up for it:

Another update coming tonight!

Woo, a comic

I'll also be posting this on ThatOneComic.
I might clean it up later.

Got my tablet back

It's not great, but it's not bad for my first time using a tablet in months.

Walking Animation

It's not great, but here's a walking animation I made following a tutorial:


I think this is 7 days in a row without missing an update!
But does anyone actually read this?

Eye Tracking

Eye tracking is pretty easy to do. You just define an object or bone to track, and which axes to use when calculating rotation. Then I had a burst of inspiration, and decided to make the head swivel too. It rotates using the same guidelines, but with influence set to 30% so it doesn't move as much:


These upload a lot faster when I've had a chance to convert them from a ~70mb AVI to a ~130kb WMV. The treasure chest one I posted before was made on a different computer, which didn't have Sony Vegas, so I couldn't convert the file.

Rigging Pretty Much Done

Rigging is just about done! Some little issues where I messed up the vertex groups a teeny bit. Rendered at 1920x1200 with 6 levels of subsurfing because my computer is that awesome.

20th Post

Don't have my avi-to-gif converter on this computer, so here's a video:

Should I keep the animation like this or make it open on a hinge?


...Video upload takes a long time!
This is my 20th post, by the way.

I know this post seems odd, but I'm just waiting for the video to finish uploading.
Processing...
Dang this takes a long time. Let's see how much I can write before it finishes.
Um. I keep planning to update ThatOneComic but I never get around to it. I have an idea for a story involving someone who is trying to fail out of school but is unable to. The school is forcing him to pass so he doesn't break their no-dropout record.
This is not going to finish by the time I need to leave. Yup. Gotta go. Oh snap. Finished. Publishing.

Treasure Chest

Work-in-progress treasure chest made in blender:

Not sure if I want to make it open and close realistically, or have the top pop off.

3d Work

Working in blender some more. Getting the hang of UV mapping. For some reason, certain squares in the UV map turn out sideways, and i have to do a whole lot of repositioning.

More vector stuff:







Here you can see what it looked like before I cleaned up the lineart.

Inkscape!

I've been playing around with Inkscape a bit. I really like how the pictures are turning out, but it takes much longer to make anything than it would in gimp.

Colorinz

Coloring!
No shading or anything tho

Planet!

Another planet in GIMP. MUCH better than earlier attempts. Thanks to Queue and Ternal-sempai for the advice.

2 Days in a Row!

More female drawing practice. Still not perfect. Remake of an old pic I did in 2006. It was called "Flow."

Finally an update

I shall attempt to update this more often! For now, here's a sketch I did the other day. It's a random female character, because I needed practice drawing female characters:
How can I improve?

I'll try to come up with some comics soon. They'll be less sketchy.

Guess who totally forgot he had a blog!



Early version of a character for my RPG made in Game Maker 7 Pro. No face/hair yet.
