AFIS-style Blender Animation Template.blend

I made this .blend file from the last scene I finished with James in his Arwing. I just took most of the assets out, deleted the animation frames, and cleaned up the Compositor nodes, making them e...

James lands his Arwing on Venom

I'm still going to add some stuff to this scene before I publish it to the YouTube, but here's a little video preview of what I've got so far. 

Forgive the horrible YouTube compression. ...

Mostly Moved In

I finally got my Canadian residency, so I'm finally beginning the moving process over the border. Because of covid stuff I'm having to do everything by myself, so my first trip was everything I cou...

Depth of Field Sorted

  I have a good template set up for quick adjustment of Depth of Field in my scenes now. This includes the post-added Freestyle Lines, by far the most difficult task I've had in a long ti...

James and Dess - New Scene Progress

Animating the meeting between James and Dess now.

There is only one scene in the episode that comes chronologically after the confrontation with the lemurs on the train, and once that scene i...

James Reanimated; Finding my Venom

Went back and polished James's walking animation (3/4 full walking animation is really tough!!), and stayed up all night working on designing Venom's look, trying to add landmarks reminiscent of th...

This is my first bit of full animation in Blender.

I'm  going to get James's walking forward animation done this weekend, as well as a few more Venomians on the train. 

A couple more tweaks here and there in the Compositor, but I th...

Thank you for your patience.

It's been a hell of a ride these past few weeks, but I've got a lot of Blender XP under my belt. I started animating some of this traincar scene last night. Each of these character frames was drawn...

I'm sold on Blender. It's changed my life.

Blenderizing of all the characters used in the handful of scenes left for episode 2. 

Again, everthing you see here was drawn in Blender with the grease pencil. All characters are scale ...

100% Blender

I did some more Blender tests. The first picture is an example of what the train scene during the final act of episode 2 will now look like. Some other lighting/fog/fx tests, and an animated GIF of...

Experimenting With Better shading

For the past two days, I've been tinkering with a couple of ideas for shading on characters, as well as compositing completely in Blender. These are a little janky, but this is my very first attemp...

Downloadable Clip: "The Friggin' Guy"

Got the voice work and mouth animations done. All that's left is a little foley sound fx and some minor reflection animations and I'll be uploading this to YouTube to have its quality murdered by Y...

[ROUGH] The Lombardi Family scene (f-bomb warning)

Still have to record the lines with a v/a and do mine on a real mic, but these are placeholders to get the timing set for the final voice acting and mouth animations.

Researching a Possible Patron Reward...

It's the end of the year again, and I would like to do something a little more fancy than an illustration for my top patrons this year. 

Possibly something bigger, and handpainted. ...

"A Fox Up To Camp" - 2019 Birthday Bash - Downeast, Maine

Had a good, fun birthday week at the camp with everyone. As you can probably tell from the photo, Bigby probably had more fun than anybody.

Time to get back to work!

The Arwings [rough]

Still got some planetary details to add and some background music to compose, but here's a preview of how the arwings are going to look, with James and Peppy taking off from Corneria.

Ladies Love Wolf O'Donnell

Hope you guys liked my little ten-day animation. I'll now be heading back to the rest of episode 2 to animate its remaining scenes at this much higher quality and speed!

One Week of Work.

This is honestly amazing, because this would have taken me weeks without Blender's help. I'd say my experiment was a success, mainly because it's going to mean a quality jump as well as a speed inc...
