Stylized walk animation sequence

Finally Finished all the staging & animation in every single shot of this sequence, now working on the lighting & Rendering the most painful part. I don't know how many hours or days that i would have to pass for render this one.  

Stylized Walk Extra 10%

Added a Exaggerated Jump to the previous stylized walk. Spent Lots of hours on that so far to polish the stuff. Grazie'a for my 3D mentor Neil who gave me this Jack In the Box Idea & the Jack box, & my fellow colleague JZ Nuwan who troubleshooted the Rig.

Energized Walk Spline

After many spline passes this is the final spline of the previous Energized Walk blocking.

Energized Walk Blocking

After many Block passes This is what i got. I Think Splining stage would be more terrific. I have to Hold my breath & close my eyes when I click the "Spline" in theGraph Editor.

This is the previous block pass, cleaned all the unwanted keys & Breakdowns in this one & got some improvements in some poses.

Left over NURBS Models in Shot 2

I really have no time for prepare gif images, cause i lost my consumer VGA card GT440 so can't do quality hardware rendering via OpenGl or DirectX11. So I rendered shots in one by one for each prop. All done in NURBS. all models are 100% NURBS. All shots rendered in Maya Software Renderer.

Modeling the Props for Set 2 in NURBS

All Inspired by Pixar's Monsters.inc scare floor scene props.

Modeling the Props for Set 1, using NURBS

In the 2nd of the Semester I learned all the stuffs & cheats related to NURBS modeling aka Non Rational Bézier Spline. For Boost up my modeling skills in NURBS I have decided to model all my Assets. Props...etc everything in NURBS for my new Stylized walk Animation. All models Rendered in Maya Software Renderer with a Directional Key Light and an Ambient Fill Light.
