caricature

here is the caricature of our cinema star Mr.Rajiniganth


all your valuable comments are welcome:)

Attitudinal Poses

If we can develop the ability to encapsulate an expression or
attitude in a single drawing(key frame)we have already
reached some distance towards successfully communicating
to our audience.
-------Eric Goldberg

I tried some standing poses with strong attitude(hope!!)
can be more interesting while animating with
holds and moving holds.

The Attitude poses need not to be Extremes keys, always!!!
--------Eric Goldberg

Posing and Staging

pose study of handicapped man.
The strength of our chtr. poses can also be tested by how
Well they read in silhouette!!

Rawanan

Hi,
This is my current chtr. am working on using Maya


and this is the very rough concept art for the Rawana.
(Indian Epic - Ramayana)

Alianica

I wanted to create less cuter Alain but in the
progress I end up with this version..............
Alianica-Maya 4.0 (subD)



This one is the actual design

I have to create one more with better look and with the better functional
lower body(pelvis) .
In my test animation ,I struggled lot at that spot!!

Almost lost the touch with Max

after started to using Maya,but the exp.with Max(self thought)
gave solid understanding of 3D and CG also helped me to learn Maya myself!!






Only Max was used in these above stills! and rendered by using
Ray Traced rendering process.
I still feel some times that I really missed opportunity to work with V-Ray!!!
what a wonderful result with less effort.
Thank God finally Maya has Mental Ray to try some interesting results.
