I’m posting here part of a rough animation test I did last year for my short film project.
I’ll start working on the short ASAP.. and I’ll keep posting. Stay tuned.

So, I’m posting here an example of the facial rig I’m trying to do for this character. There is nothing new in this Rig. You probably have seen it before. I think It’s something similar to Blur’s Doritos (Not sure)…. but in this case I’m using joints with setdriven keys instead of blendshapes.

I’ve just finished my new character… and it’s ready to animate
Tomorrow I’ll post an example of the facial rig and an animation test…. so, stay tuned!

Talking lemons…. this is what I had been working on during my stay at Conspiracao Filmes (2004/2005).
My job included lighting and animation but I also did the shading, textures and a little bit of rigging for 7 of those commercials together with a team of 6 3D artists
AND… my former Boss Gustavo Braga is going to do a Renderman for Maya presentation about those lemons on Siggraph 2006 at Pixar’s booth (Tuesday and Wednesday, August 1st and 2nd at 4 pm). So, if you are going to be there, go check it out.

I’ll soon be posting a reel with my work on those commercials… until then click below for more images.
