I was just starting to experiment, so it is just Aiko 3 with the materials and hair that come with her. I think it is nice for a first try, though.

It is Aiko 3 looking around. I concentrated on trying to get natural blinking, eye, and head movement. Even her hair falls with gravity. :-) You can see all of my galleries at: chris.anidev.net ...

Batman is such a classic story about the lone individual who fights for justice outside the system. This is what I called a visual poem, or some would call it a video poem. It paints the picture of the vigilante who looks down on her city from high in its...]]> Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:42:18 GMT http://www.digitani.com/animation/viewvideo/8/finished-work/vigilante-overlook <![CDATA[Carrara Dynamic Hair Test with Aiko 4]]>  This is a test of dynamic hair in Carrara 6.1 Pro. The figure is Aiko 4. I grew the hair on her scalp, then cut and styled it (kind of poorly, but its just a test). Then I animated her tossing her hair back and from side to side. It is not perfect, but I think this shows that Carrara is capable of...]]> Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:41:50 GMT http://www.digitani.com/animation/viewvideo/7/experimental/carrara-dynamic-hair-test-with-aiko-4 <![CDATA[Dragon Slayer Character Design]]>  This is my first draft at the character design for the dragon slayer in my upcoming animation.

There are some canned walk/run cycles in Poser, so I went ahead and made this animation. I had to play around with the shaders to get it to give the anime look that I was shooting for. I think this looks pretty good.

I remember seeing this sort of blast in Dragonball Z when one of them turned Super Sayin, or something like that. Anyway, it was memorable, because it looked totally cool. It inspired a hand drawing of I made some time ago, and I wanted...]]> Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:38:54 GMT http://www.digitani.com/animation/viewvideo/3/experimental/dragonball-z-blast <![CDATA[-strikebeam-]]>

This is just a short little experiment in 3D character animation done in Carrara 6.2 Pro. This is a typical motion used in anime by an angry aggressive girl. There are only three key frames. I have recently realized that motions in cartoons, perhaps anime especially, are usually very abrupt and...
