Cat Walk with Arms v.1.1

Well, here is my cat with arms. I fixed the foot roll problem before I added in the arms. The fingers were fun to try and rotate.. I almost didn't get it to work but here it is. I was playing around with actually making my kitty move... it's on another file on my computer. I think it looks okay.. I have to fix the fact that, on some frames, it looks like he slides across the floor.

I don't know if anyone else feels this way.. but I feel somewhat... naked without my sketchbook. Like a part of me is missing. :( I'll have to scrounge up the sketchbook I was using before ACM.

But yes, here is my still cat walk with arms.

Enjoy~

Still Cat Walk v.1.3

Still no arms. Awaiting approval to try starting on the arms and shoulders.

Still Cat Walk v.1.2

Links are going to have to suffice for now till I make smaller renders of my movies. Linda has uploaded my walk vid for me and it'll be a text link for now until I get a chance to make a picture link for it. Hopefully it looks better. Still working on the UH server problem.

In the first version, there was a slight glitch in the leg movement the second time around, but it has been fixed in this version.

[edit 02/26/07]
It's kind of big... I made the width and height too big, so it's going to be a link for now. But, thanks to Art, I have the code to put the videos correctly on my blog from now on.. and I may have solved my uploading problem with the UH server.

You have to download the vid to see it!!
You do this by right-clicking --> Save target as.. I don't have this version on Maya anymore. I forgot to create the separate file and I just revised and saved over the old one. So this is the only version I have. It's too big to do a regular embed and I'm not sure of the coding to move where it would resize so... yeah. Sorry^^;

Cat Walk Version 1.2 (no arms)

Still Cat Walk v.1.1

Here is my first attempt at the Cat Walk. I am currently revising my Follow Through also. I know, I know it's still in Photobucket.. but it's the best way I know how to share these videos without that stupid Forbidden message the UH server keeps giving me every time I try to make a link. Anyone know what's going on and what I should do? What about this: What coding do you put into your blogs to post from your UH account? That would be MUCH appreciated, thanks. :)

Robot Designs

Here are my robot designs. I wasn't in class to recieve the full critique on it, so any comments, questions, and suggestions are very welcome. :) You can probably tell which one is the male and which one is the female (if not, then.... I guess I'll have to explain a few things to you). For the male, it's kind of an ambitious design. I was kind of obsessed with the design of the thighs and legs, the rest sort of followed from there. A lot of my references for him go to the runegods from Magic Knight Rayearth, various mechs I saw on the covers of Full Metal Panic! and the helmet was inspired by illustrations of the dragoon job class of Final Fantasy III for DS Lite. The female... well... I kind of made her up on my own. Her design is SUPER basic and I will probably develop more features on her as I model her or maybe add in to the sketch as she progresses.

It'll be a long process, but I think it'll be fun when I'm not stressing about the deadline too much. :)
