About this Blog....

Just to Clarify something...for people who don't understand my goals on this blog

The crappy things you're seeing on this blog are just for the most part of them some unfinished works ...Tests and Fast Sketches i've done to improve some skills...I will probably never finish them on this blog ...It's just some kind of experimentation to continue to learn...and have fun
The resaon i created this blog was to continue to work at home to encourage myself when time was very tough for me....

Maybe one day you will see the final version of the sketches i'm posting on this blog....i mean the 3d versions of course...but this will be on my website....

Sketchy Sculptey #3B

A little update on that character ...2-3 hours this morning playing with his design
Still not finished but i will not work on it in the coming days...Afterall that 's just a sketch ....

I've got new characters in mind but time to switch to animation...
Long time i have not worked on a new one

Sketchy Sculptey #3A

I've no time for myself these days...i'm currently helping a friend on his project...
But i've tried to take some time this morning to begin this very early sketch .....still a lot to do on it.

Gribouilli #12

Okay Another one before i go to bed....
Maybe one day i will try a paint with details...a true paint lol

Anyway keep learning

Gribouilli #11

Tonight's fast sketch before i go to bed...
Not that fast when you consider the time i've spent trying different comp before i've ended on that one.
At last the result is not that good.... Damn i really need to improve myself in drawing T_T

Gribouilli #10

Another one.....Before i changed its design a little in Zbrush

Gribouilli #9

I've some health problems so no new CG's these days...
I'm recovering but the pain's still there....

Anyway here's an old fast sketch i did the last month before i came to Zbrush and changed its design...i found it too much agressive

Gribouilli #8

A new sketch...i did it the last month...i must keep practising
He isn't smiling....

Animation Test #6

Okay... No Football on TV today...so sad T_T
Anyway i've tried to work a little on this one
Still need works and tweakings (hands,that fu....g bandana... and other details)
Don't know if i will tweak it in the coming days....i need to move on to new stuffs.

Cheap FX #1

I've played with dynamic sim this week end and come with that...
Just a start and a lot to fix but a lot of fun too



I'm a mere beginner in this...and I don't want to become a FX TD cause i'm not a genius and not enough smart for that (lool)
I'm more interested by animation than anything else but i just want to keep learning and especially something that fascinates me.

Technical #2

Okay I've fixed my dynamic skin issue the last week end
The problem was that when i activated the manual control the skin didn't react as i wished
Anyway i get it

Here is my screen capture of it..The skinning is not fixed yet

Technical #1

Okay another post to talk about a rigging i'm doing these days for my good friend Julien Roger...not all days of course but it takes me more time than i've expected because i'm dealing with some technical issues on the chin flesh and the automatic manual control on it

I will show that when it will be fixed




I'm really enjoying doing this but i just want to finish it...

I've tested the rig today in a 58 frames walk........and there's still a lot to fix on it T_T
About the animation it's only key Poses....not a polished version....just to test my controllers ...the skinning is in progress that's why i'm showing the proxy model...

Animation Test #5

Okay another exercise and not my favorite one....done in April
I've tried to keep it as simple as i can....may be too simple
I don't know...May be i will retake this one..

Anyway i had lot of fun doing it :)

Sketchy Sculptey #2

Hey long time no see and no update here !!!
Okay i planned to do some personal projects but i changed my mind when i realized i had forgotten a lot of things (from modelling to rendering)...even doing simple UVS was a pain in ass.

Anyway because I'm currently feeling myself a little lazy i've decided to update these pages to cheer myself a little.

I've played with Zbrush at the very beginning of this month... nothing fancy just some sketching and design research...i've not found time to push these ones further..

LOST--Final

Okay i know i haven't updated my dusty blog since a while and what i'm posting right now is not related to CG or VFX stuffs...but it's worth it...or not
When i'm done with CG or videogames i'm watching some TV shows and Lost is one of them.
I've found these thumbnails very funny to share with you guys.
Dunno who has done them but it's very good cause it sums up some weird situations in Lost.
It's a scene in the 9th episode (a conversation between Richard and the Jacob's nemesis the smokey thing).

If you're watchin Lost like me you will definetly appreciate it and if you're not i hope you will too

Happy New Year 2010

Hello everybodey !!! Happy new Year !!
I wish you all good things life can give you !!

As you've noticed i'm trying to write in english even if this one is very bad and rough
Hope it will help me improve myself

See ya guys for new updates and stuffs
