I’m excited to share my new tool: SCENE BUILDER. A quick way of setting up Maya scenes fast. Choose from six customisable backdrops, a light rig and camera rig.
Two variations:
PLUS - everything in the video, and more!
LITE - a simpler free version

I am excited to share the shots I animated for Dreamworks' Dog Man, while at Jellyfish Pictures. I was only on Animation for a short time after moving over from Tech Anim. It was a fantastic project to be a part of and my first feature credit too!

So fun! Some great cycles in there.
Here are the animations from January's pose cycle challenge. Thanks to everyone that joined me on this (all 68 of you!). I hope you all had as much fun making them as I did watching them. I love how different they all turned out. Great work!

I wanted to challenge myself with a heavy box mechanic shot, focusing on a feeling of weight. I also tried to add a little story.

Hello #animators! Do you want a simple way to add depth to your character's mouth in the polish phase of your shot? - Maybe this will help??
I created a small Python tool for Maya.

I’ve always loved the fantastic Big Hero 6 character tests - the subtlety, personality, and storytelling packed into just a few moments of animation. Feeling inspired, I decided to challenge myself with a character test of my own.

Personal update time - during this up and down work period, I wanted to add another layer to my animation skills. I recently completed two Python developer courses on SoloLearn. Been great exploring ways to complement my creativity and help me become a more well-rounded animator. #animation #python
