Here is a short video of PopEye animation, Sneaking through the night.

Animating PopEye

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:06:29 GMT

I edited the PopEye mesh, mostly to resize the Arms and hands, as my son suggested. I now am going to start small animation clips to test the PopEye model and learn how to animate a 3D model in general in Blender.

Here is a walk cycle video of PopEye.

Click on the PopEye image to see a short animation video.

Rigging PopEye The Sailor

Sat, 09 Aug 2008 13:12:37 GMT

I have finally finished the Rigging of PopEye. The wrists and ankles have IK solvers, and the legs also have other constraints to help in posing of PopEye, like copy rotation, location, and stretch to.

I made a few extreme poses to test the mesh deformation. As you can see in the video the Blender's new feature, Bone Heat, does a great job blending the influence of one bone to the other on the mesh.

The people at Blender Institute have done such a great job making this free software a powerful tool for CG artists. I support their hard work by purchasing the DVDs and books from Blender Foundation e-shop. It also helps me to understand and discover its many capabilities and put them to use.

I have finally finished the rest of the body of PopEye model and also finished the shading and texturing. Click the image to see a short video of the model with Camera pan around it.

Modeling PoPEYE THE SAILOR - Phase 2

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 01:38:01 GMT

So far the PopEye modeling is coming along very well, I'm now working on texturing. I think I got ahead of myself, starting to texture before I finished the legs and shoos!.

I Love Blender!

Modeling PoPEYE THE SAILOR

My son have asked me to model PopEye the Sailor for him. It is his faivorate cartoon character. So my next project is to model PopEye and maybe even animate him later.

Animating Miss Piggy

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:17:39 GMT

Right now I'm working on animating Miss Piggy model to later insert it in a scene with video rotoscoping. That also is going to be an interesting venture. As you know I'm still learning all these techniques and it takes me longer than usual to complete a task. I like to solve problems so I'm going to try to make this work.

Click on the picture to see a video of Miss Piggy walking. I have used mocap bvh files for it in Blender.
Next step is to get the mesh deform properly . As you can see in this video, there are some issues that need to be resolved.

Modeling Miss Piggy

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:07:03 GMT

I have been busy on a project modeling Miss Piggy. It was finally finished late last night. The wonderful free Blender 3d program was used to model, texture, and render Miss Piggy. In this short video clip you will see the model rotated and camera animated to take a closer look at the model. You can also check the forum to see the evolution of Miss Piggy during the last few weeks.

Shading an eye model in Carrara

In this tutorial I have imported into Carrara, the eye modeled in Hexagon. I will attempt to select various shading and texture that will resemble an eye.

Modeling an eye in Hexagon

I found this old tutorial on modeling an eye in Hexagon. I decided to post it so I can re-learn some of the short-cut keys and commands in Hexagon. I hope it will be use-full to you as well.

Modeling a head in Blender Part-3

Wed, 28 May 2008 10:34:49 GMT

This is part three of Modeling a head in Blender.

I have recently viewed an excellent video tutorial by Ryan Kittleson called "Modeling the human head focus on EDGE FLOW" That shows in a simple technique how to model a human head. This video tutorial is one of the best I have seen regarding edge flow or edge loops used in modeling a head.

I think I'm going to scrap the rest of my modeling the head and start another one using Ryan's technique. As you know I'm a noob in CG world and I'm still learning. If I see a better method I use it and advertize it so other noobs like me can learn from it.

This is part two of Modeling a head in Blender using reference pictures.

Modeling a head in Blender Part-1

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 21:26:44 GMT

In this tutorial you will see how to add reference pictures in Blender for modeling and see one of many different ways to model. I admit the edge loops I'm using are not the best, but it will give you an idea how to fill the surfaces to form a three dimensional model from two 2D images. This is the first part of a multi part video tutorial.

Thanks for watching and any comment is appreciated.

How to embed flash video flv and swf in a php or html page.

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 09:57:33 GMT

If you have been to my site before you may have noticed a lot of changes. I have converted from the old CMS and html format to this wonderful and beautiful portal called "memHT Portal" As you can see at the bottom of the page, it is a free software under the GNU/GPL License.

It took me a bit of research to find out how to add audio video contents in it and noticed some other users had the same need for more info. I decided to make a short video tutorial to help those using this great software!

I hope you'll enjoy this and other tutorials to come.

P.S.
