This project introduced me the animating a human head with dialogue. I recorded myself talking with Professor Sutherland so I had a reference for how I wanted Bubba to talk. I wrote out the small dialogue and brought the video into Maya. This is the finished product.
This project allowed me to be creative with the design. The objective was to design a 3D Inanimate Object character. I chose to design a character that I feel an attachment too; a cup of coffee. This character’s name is Mocha.
This project was perhaps the most complex project for me to complete. The process was strenuous. First I recorded myself with Professor Sutherland. Through his instructions I had to act out the what the character needed to accomplish which was: walk, pick up the light saber, perform and action, and drop the light saber. I then brought the footage into Maya and animated the entire thing. The entire project took me about 24 hours to complete with several trial and errors.
