Project Aleah
Still largely a work in progress, Project Aleah is the culmination of everything I know. This video is meant to be a proof of concept. For my senior project I set out to accomplish as much as I possibly could in 10 weeks while keeping a part time job. And this is what I came up with.
It is a game I am developing for Web, and possibly Mobile. With the exception of creating sound effects, all the work is my own. Concept/Art, Modeling, UVs, Textures, Skinning, Rigging, Cloth Simulation, Lighting, Rendering, Compositing, Title Effects, GML Scripting, etc... When complete I will also have nature, fluids, smoke, and camera tracking. As well as HTML, and Java scripting where necessary. You can Follow my progress here

Character animation to audio from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
For this animation I am using the free Norman Rig. Animated in Maya. I also tracked some home footage in SynthEyes and used it to animate the camera in Maya.
See this project from start to finish HERE From me acting it out, to the blocking stage, and the final render.

Character Modeled in Blender and Rigged in Maya.
Motion capture files were attached to the rig in Motion Builder.
I then cleaned up the animation, lit, and rendered in Maya.
Rendered with Mental Ray
Camera motion from some home footage was tracked in SynthEyes and added to the Camera in Maya.

Walk & Jump animation. This was my first off post animation.
Animated in Maya
Model & Rig were provided by the teacher
For my final project in my 3D animation I class, I had to take this rig and animate it however I liked for 15-30 seconds. I had not yet gotten into wait and balance, but I thought I'd give it a go. Anyway, here's what I came up with. Animated in Maya.

I also Lit the scene and Rendered with Mental Ray
