Alrighty. Working on a reel with the intent on landing a gig in the game industry. Working on a rig right now and still playing with the color map. The chest armor needs a lot of work. But I'm pretty happy with the bump map. C&C most welcome. He comes in at a little under 2000 polys.

As for the character, he is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, a.k.a., the Monkey King. This is Monkey before he's tricked by the Buddha and pacified. Yes, I haven't given him his Iron Cudgel yet. Can't have Monkey without his weapon.

Very nice work, I hope your reel works!
To make the walk cycle better, try either speeding him up OR if you want him to walk slow because he's a heavy character, than give him more weight when he steps.

Yeah, the animated gif is kinda slow. The actual movie is a bit faster, but he could use some more weight. I'm still working on him.

Here's a playblast of another animation I'm working on with him. He's doing a kata. Didn't get too far, but I thought I'd post it up. Sorry it's in Quicktime format. It's all we mac folk have ;;_;;

Cool....
love the kata animation.
Especially the last part. I used to go watch my ex-girlfriend at practice to draw their moves and the last part seems right on.

Nice speed too.

peace,

Monkey has his Iron Cudgel!

And I got him into Unreal 2003. It's not perfect. There are a few animations that I left out. But it works....mostly. Here's the link if anyone is interested. Almost finished.
