Bucky animation:

The following clip is some of the final animation sequences all involving the character Bucky.

Gorilla walk progression:

The following video is a progressive animation in progress. It shows how the animation has evolved from the blocking to the final stages of animation.

Blocking continued:

Since the last upload I have included a shot of the gorilla walking and also the end shots of him scaling the car stacks. I'm still unsure of the most of the shots and the camera angles are only rough placements for now

Final stages of blocking:

Here is the blocking after about 40 seconds into the animation. There will be loads of changes to come no doubt before the end, at this stage I really need to just get the blocking out the way.

Rough blocking

I have made a start to the blocking, this was edited together roughly mainly to give myself and Tom a idea of timing and camera shots available, but also to give our composer a sense of pace and some imagery to work to.

Gorilla head:

It took a while, but we opted to modify an existing facial rig "the xsi Guy". Tom altered the polygons to make it look like a gorilla's face and then added robotic pieces around the edges.
This saved us alot of time and sped up production slightly. It mainly saved time in rigging all the sliders for the facial expression. The original model came with a great range of expressions, most of which have been kept intact after the modification.

Roborilla - The 3D model

Tom has entered the final stages of the Roborilla character build. Here are some shots of his progress:

-The first is our booklet image for the "Expotees" exhibition, the gorilla is facing away mainly because the head hadn't been completed at by the deadline and this angle seemed to add a feel of suspense instead of an unfinished look.
