Pause for a look around

The main change in this version was to add some character to when the ant discovers the gaping chasm.

Plus I added some slight tweaks in the jump.

Leap of faith

Here is an updated work in progress shot - now with the ant leaping across the chasm.

I think I can afford another day or so to mess around with the animation and the timing, but then I really need to just light it and hand in the final assignment.

Latest Ant Antics

Spent a bit of time in class on the animation. Mostly just added a basic environment with some simple textures.

Also - I think the three camera shots makes for a more interesting few seconds of animation.

Now the ant has a little obstacle to overcome. Just like me.

Model for 2d animation

I have to be honest and say that even though I know this still has work to be done - I'm actually quite happy with the outcome.

Almost matched what I had in mind in my head.

Ant walk cycle

Here is the ant walk cycle using my model.

I'm sure there is some tweaking to be done, but at this stage I'm just happy to have all the animation variables with a value and I'll do some tuning at a later stage if I get a chance.

Final Ant Rigging

All the rigging is completed on my own ant model.

Just about ready to create a walk cycle for this guy.
