CubePong 07 – Good old Keyframes

CubePong 07 – Good old Keyframes

Ahh yes, keyframes; the backbone of the 3d animation. Keyframes are a fundamental part of 3d animation and when Mograph and dynamics get involved in your workflow it can be easy to forget about the fundaments. I especially liked this round of CubePong for this reason. It’s nice to show you can get amazing results without relying on the application to do the work for you.

Hiya, Georgie. Don’t you want a balloon? – 99frames

This is my entry for the 99frames social animation project hosted by David Drayton of MAXON, creators of the best software in the world, CINEMA 4D.

This was done in Cinema 4D R14. Features used were: Physical Render, Aerodynamics, Mograph, Morph Camera, Dynamics and a lot of love.

I added a tiny bit of color correction in after effects.

I had a lot of great help along the way while doing this project. A huge thanks to Robert Leger (@robleger ), Eugene Opperman (@EugeneOpperman) and Alan Demafiles (@demafleez) for all the texturing advice and rendering help.

CubePong 06 – Holiday Gifts

CubePong round six – Holiday Gifts

Holiday Gifts you say? This will be easy you think? HA! Hell no. When my family asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year I said “nothing.”

Was there stuff that I wanted? Sure there was, but my taste in ‘toys’ is expensive; it’s not cheap being a geek today.

Normally when a CubePong is announced I almost instantly know what I am going to do, and it usually has potential to be a great ending, but this time… I had no freaking clue. Hell, I was so caught up in work that I almost missed the signup completely and then had to go on a mad dash to get some more people recruited. Thats right… if there is a CubePong and you do not sign up then there is a good possibility that fuck you, i will sign you up.

Well, as it turns out, I did all that stressing over NOTHING! I ended up getting this crazy flu and was not able to participate in this round, queue sad boy face here.

CubePong round five – Video Games

HOLY EFFING BALLS!!!! VIDEO GAMES!!!

I was excited for this Cube Pong if you didn’t realize that. So many ideas! SO MANY GODDAMNED IDEAS!

I took the last spot on this one because I had a great idea to use Mario as an ending by warping down a pipe. I had some extra time so i added a castle and flag. I could write more on this, but its late, im tired, and i dont freaking care.. words and stuff.
