Animation Apprentice

Lovely venue at the Friend in Hand Pub in Glebe.

Sorry for the long absence. I’ve been moving house - to Australia. Also I’ve been learning CS 4 - which means using flash and practicing Illustrator - hence the picture above.

From Wapping and Camden

This is brilliant - a new games engine which creates animation in real time, with no key framing and no motion capture. As it says in the spiel - Euphoria creates animation-on-the-fly, combining artificial intelligence, biomechanics and physics. At the moment, the puppet walks a little like a drunkard - but even so it’s easy to see this becoming standard in games. As sad as I am to see my career options diminish - this is just too cool!

…vicious cow/slug hybrid - and ASSASSIN!

Made for Amy.

Not a lot of animation going on around here, eh?

Apologies to anyone who has tried to visit the site over the last couple of weeks - we’ve been changing servers and it all went do-lally. But everything should be back up and running now - if there are any issues, please let me know in the comments below.

Meanwhile, here’s a sock monster I made. His name is Mr Antrobus. Thanks to the lovely Nicky, who last night over a few shandies introduced a whole table of girls to the joy of socks.
