Hello everyone!!!
I am new here so I will give a little back ground on myself.....
I am a Maya artist that currently works for a goverment contracter in VA. I am the lead 3D animation and I am looking to move on to something with more of a challenge, so I have started working on my demo reel. Everything that I have done so far is pretty much military related ( you can see some stuff here....http://www.dragondesigns.8m.com ) so I am working on this project to show that I can do more then just millitary animations. I also want to incorporate all of the things that I can do with Maya i.e. modeling, animation, rigging, texturing, lighting, complex partical systems, dynamics, etc, etc....
This project is something that I am kind of creating as I go. I have no story line yet though I do have ideas. The most recent one involves creating an documentary type animation (2-3 min) that involves this bot and all the testing that this thing would go through if it where a real weapon. Like live fire tests, movement and tracking, how it will navigate obstacle, etc etc.
So I have gotten the modeling, texturing (very simple right now) and rigging, done. I have also started some animation tests. My real reason for posting this here is to just hear some ideas and get some input on story ideas. I am more of a technical artist. Writing is very hard for me :banghead: (I have a really hard time just spelling correctly LOL) so any help in this area would be wonderful! I am looking to make this bot the main focus though I am willing to create smaller enemy types if needed. The enviroment is also something that I am still working out though have a few ideas.
So enough of the babbling, here is where I am at.......
