Tribute Animation Keith Haring Room V2

So this is my 3D room I’m working on for the RIT Unity House Tribute Animation. My Idea is to have the camera go throght to room and focus on the items in it to give it some sense of hierarchy.  I’m thinking of giving the items some animation life but not sure how I want to do it yet. I’m also thinking of adding some other items to give it a more 80’s feel but I don’t want them to seem to out of place.  This is what I plan to to show my friend who is the vp of the house an setting it up and see if they like the direction.

Originally it was a more flat design but they suggested using Keith haring design. Which while cool is way to busy for a flat design, the way I wanted to use it so I went with a room loosely based of his room/museum he painted. I feel like this may be a cop out since is a style used a lot, although I can’t think of a direct reference… but I know it is. Lets hope my friend likes it.

AnimeMix Logo Animation Final

This is the final version of my logo animation. I added some music that I think is typical but appropriate. I added some noise to the background as well as some sound waves to add emphasis the spot music. I notice the sun dial spinny crazy fast and it took me a while to figure out that it’s due to my time remap which would take a bit of work to fix. But I kind of liked how it goes fast then slows down.

the logo is a Brazilian anime and manga convention

animemix logo animation

This is the end result of my 1 hr challenge. Just a simple challenge to see how quick I could animate a logo. My process was
10 min – find logo on seeklogo.com
10 min – setup logo for animation
40 min – animate

Things that I cheated at 2 min for gradient BG and shadow.

All in all it wen well. If I had more time I would have added more easing to the letters folding in and on the mix spin in. Maybe some more sfx. But thats for another day.

GrooveShark Logo Intro

This is animation I did with the grooveshark logo. I was not commissioned for this just thought to make it since I use it to listen to music a bunch. I wanted to produce something fairly quick and nice so decieded to not go the 3D route and stay in 2D world. Originally had it done with just without the stars and the wave effect on the text but it looked kind of plain. So it took a second to thinkg of what more I could add to it. I had already used the wave effect for the wave in the logo so I thought that might look good on the text while the fin passes by. The stars I just added since I looked in the background of the image an saw there where stars there so it made sense to try it out and see how it looked.

I sent it to grooveshark and they replied back saying it was awesome. Which I think is very cool.



Made in After Effects CS5

The styles and logo is from http://grooveshark.com/logo.php

Tractor Toy Expresso


This is my expresso right I made for a toy tractor. I made this to to give away a xpresso rig I made for my trek bot animation. I decided not to give away that setup and instead made an even more in depth espresso rig base of a model from turbosquid. I think I was having withdrawl from not having another expresso task from http://robertleger.net so I made my own expresso task… I wanted to create a child like atmosphere for this since it is a toy truck. Thats where the floor idea came from although I noticed after rendering some of the floor pieces didn’t align perfectly.

***DeviantArt Post Submission****

This is Toy Tractor Xpresso Rig for Cinema 4D. It is an as is release. You are free to do whatever you like to it. Please post a comment or fav what you do with it so I can so I can check it out. This setup is not un breakable but should work for most purposes and you can always just undo or import a new version.

Check out the video here—- [link]
Composited In After Effects

What can it do?

Front wheel turn. Truck rotation left and right based on the back or front. Truck rotation up and don based on the back or front. Automatic wheel rotation based on x axis movement or spline movement. Manual control as well. Spline control for movement and up and down movement for when on spline as well.

What can’t it do.

Walk the dog…and some rotations on spline mode will make it go all crazy.

ToyTractor Ani Preview -Xpresso Rig

This is animation still of an animation I’m working on. I planned for it to be rendered today but not dice to big to long. So its a preview today. The tractor model is from turbosquid —>[link]

But wait there more… this is not just going to be an animation but a c4d resource as well. The tractor toy is setup via expresoo for a bunch of cool stuff to do. What stuff you ask?

Well there is automatic wheel rotation, not key framing for spinning wheels(theres a manual switch if you want it thou). Wheel direction flip for when the wheel seems to spin wrong dues to optical illusion.

There is also of course wheel turning left and right for the front wheels.And of course there left and right turning of the whole tractor. You can also rotate the whole tractor up and down for the the front and back if you need to bounce over stuff.

But what if your to lazy to key frame the movement…well there a spline setup too. Just make you path and add to the slot and you can move it around that way as well( be fore warned rotating(to the max extreme) the truck in this mode can break it). You can also move it up and down even if its on the path.

***end random salesmen like pitch*****

I will be posting it soon.
