The Handy Animator

Hey I'm Ian, expect bloggings of animation, doodling, and general results of playing around with fancy software.

Can someone out there please donate £900 to me so I can buy this beauty?

You'll get producer credits for any commercial work, obviously.

So so SO much thought has gone into this, if anything was going to break my no-blogging-spree, I'm really glad it was this. Really funny, really well thought out, this left me grinning and wanting more :D

By the way, my no-blogging-spree will probably continue for a while longer as I'm setting up a company and going through all the legal mombo jumbo atm, which leaves little time to get creative!

So after a little suggestion from some friends, here are two slightly different and altered versions. Any more and I think I'm heading for overkill.

Updated logo.

Trouble drawing hands from any perspective? Looky here then and get learning!

The Scott Mills Show on Flickr.

Via Flickr: Just a quick Photoshop of Scott Mills as he's asking for people who are handy with Photoshop to help out on the Radio 1 film, hopefully it'll get a mention! At worse I've avoided work for half hour!

Job = No Time For 3D

My blog is starting to look like a ghost town...

I haven't posted any work in so long... but I have my reasons...

I've landed a job, a creative one at that, however it doesn't really leave me much time for 3D at the moment as I'm getting back to grips with Flash in what spare time I have.

This won't continue forever, but will probably do for the rest of October!

This short has more depth, plot and believability than both the Matrix 2 and 3! (Not that that's hard)

[thehandyanimator-blog]

This is pretty cool.

[thehandyanimator-blog]

Bloody funny. Anyway, here's the second part of the episode.

[thehandyanimator-blog]

And from a slightly different angle...

[thehandyanimator-blog]

So this is an ongoing attempt at creating the Professor in ZBrush, have spent the best part of a day on him so far, and there's still plenty of detail to be added and things to be fixed but the next thing I want to do is add his specs, which I can't do at the moment as I'm not too familiar with hard surface modelling in ZBrush, so I'm going to be learning that over the next few days and weekend so I can carry on with this. Not bad seeing as he started off as a sphere!

Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth by ~TranzorZ3D

And another version of the Professor, very cool, a tad creepy.

My first bit of re-blogging here. I'm looking to sculpt Professor Farnsworth after watching some new Futurama, just scouting what's already out there!

justinrampage:

It seems that the good Professor Farnsworth got a whole lot of realism slammed into this 3D Futurama model created by Carlos Lopez.
