Cycling Butterfly

Autodesk Maya Cleanup

Creating this animation had many small steps involved, one of the biggest was prepping the butterfly.

I found a free butterfly model on turbo squid modeling website. The amount of polygon faces was very high. I ended up cleaning and then restructuring some parts of the butterfly to allow for more concise weigh painting and rigging. I soon learned that it would have been much more efficient to model a lower poly version of the butterfly. I then rigged the butterfly to animate a flying movement.

I Next I exported the model over to Mudbox.

I created a custom fire themed airbrush color. Referencing a chemical chart I found online:

FINAL EDIT

See 28 to 38 days for more of the concept behind this piece.

I layered a large amount of different sounds and music together to create the music for the small clip.

No Comments on Cycling Dreams, Learning Autodesk Maya

Learning Autodesk Maya has been both exhilarating and challenging as an Artist. Before a year ago extruding or moving a vertices was foreign to me. Today I enjoy making small narrative stories with the skills I have learned so far.

I took a a cylinder primitive and then animated it to perform an interesting rhythmic movement. Next, I placed it into a MASH and added random and color nodes. I then took a camera an animated various viewpoints and perspectives.

On the more conceptual side of things, I was exploring the feeling of something that doesn’t belong, what does a dream of an internal struggle look like.

“Feeling at once agitated and confused, your self-torturing reflections, and the emotions accompanying them, whirl ’round and ’round. And although you crave some sort of closure to the stormy commotion inside your brain, no “truce” seems practical. For there’s an almost perfect balance—or more accurately, tension—between the positives and negatives of each alternative you’re anguishing over.” – Leon F. Seltzer, Ph.D.

Exploding Rose

I created my own version of GreyscaleGorilla’s tutorial on a “Shattering Rose” in Cinema 4D. Instead of using their plugins, I used the push apart effector to create the “exploding” part of the rose.

Floating Island

Cinema 4D. 2017.

Thanks to Tiedie’s tutorial on Low Poly Floating Island Tutorial | Cinema 4D / Photoshop (here is the link: youtube.com/watch?v=0VHMUnGcQ34) I made my first animation using a motion camera for added affects.
