Demo Reels

With the release of Buzzy Bee, I now have enough materials to compile separate reels for animation and concept artwork. Please click on the following images to download the reels.

I would love to hear what you guys think!

Buzzy Bee

Buzzy Bee and Friends was a project I worked on at Flux Animation Studio Ltd towards the end of last year. The frame rate that we had to animate at was set up to simulate stop motion animation. The final result is stunning. The shaders and textures on this show are particularly gorgeous. Every wear and tear on the paintwork on these classic toy characters has been meticulously researched and re-created in CG. I'm very proud to have been a part of this project.

Buzzy and Friends is currently playing in New Zealand on TV2, weekdays at 3.25pm. Each episode runs for only 5 minutes, so don't miss it!

Nightwalker

As dawn approaches, the nightwalker quietly slips away into the shadows, leaving no evidence of its visit. The town will soon come awake, when the final echo of its song slowly comes to a still.

Faun

I textured Faun a couple of weeks ago. Laying out the UV was painful at first. I spent a couple of nights just laying out the UV for Faun's face. I thought I was progressing quite well, until a fellow tutor stopped by my station one evening and showed me another way to go about doing things. He literally unwrap Faun's face from scratch in about 10 minutes! I'm now going through the painful process of watching rigging tutorials and trying to stay awake throughout the videos. I'm doing rather well so far, considering that I've narcoleptic tendencies.
