"Gold Medal Awarded"

This is just a lil animation, its supposed to be a loop. but cant have flash in here so its not going to be. This is actually from a game i love to play called wipeout hd. i seen the animation in the game, and wanted to see if i can make something similar to it. the is but only two diferences in it. the shine, and one of the lil ships is different. all i did was make a gedeon object, smooth the edges, inset some polygons, extruded them a little, backed up some of the edjest, added turbosmooth with iterations at 3, and added my own chrome look to it. the camera is simple. just make a circle (a spline), made it big enough around the object, made a target camera and made a path constraint with the camera and the circle. easy actually.

PS: I forgot to mention how i made the inner cutout. i first had to find a almost good reference image to use in illustrator. once imported into ilustrator, i then traced each part of the logo (tho like i said the one ship on top is different than the original one, that is because the image was really low quality so it was pixelated). once that was done, i saved the document as an Illustrator 8 file so it can be imported into 3ds max as a spline. now when i exported it into the program it messed up.  the loops werent right. so to fix that i had to add more points in illustrator to those loops. re-imported and then it worked. once imported i used an extrude modifier to make the splines a poly. i extruded them enough so the logo would show thro both sides of the main shape. then just used some booleon to cut the logo out of the shape (note i hade to convert the shape to a poly so the booleon dont mess up the turbo smooth). done

note**** i do not claim the icon and other stuff with this. the original design belongs to studio liverpool. not me.

XANA!!!!

This is another animation i did, but this time its for someones birthday. its supposed to be the Xana symbol for Code Lyoko. My BF's little brother just got into the show a week ago and so i thought i would make him something. i messed up on the first try tho. first thing i did was get a reference image and applied it to a plain that had the same dimensions of the image so it would be exact. then i just made some tubes the same size as the rings. made a cylinder for the middle dot, and just extruded some polys to make the fins on the outer ring. then i backed up the edges around everything that needed to be a smooth but hard edge. then just applied a green map to it and enabled the wire frame effect and vwala.

Note*** Xana symbol is not mine. original design is owned by moonscoop and some other corporation.

A Birthday Present For My BF.

I wanted to do something special for my loving boyfriend. I know he likes the Metroid series a lot, so i decided to make a version of the samus logo for him. i hope he likes it. Note this isn't the final version. but its a start. i do have to play around with the rendering to make it look sweet for him. I'm also going to edit the "s" a little as well. I will add another paragraph later on how i did all this.

heres a different angle of it. i currently use it as a status icon because of the "S" kinda goes with my "Saphire Sawtelle" character name and with "Saphire Studios"

 well grap. i dont know why it always does this. but i did try to do a animated GIF file using fireworks, but i need to tweak it. ill fix it and re-upload it.

WOULD BE AWESOME IF BLOGSPOT COULD HANDLE AUDIO FILES

 (does not work)

just a test post. seeing if i can post a sound file and have it actually play on the site. The Title of the song is "My Castle" the original song is by Tundra Fox (William Folden). I tried to remake the song. i got most of everything, somethings are different. but the mastering is off. Im still trying to get the hang of music. I love doing it but i have very lil confidence in my self to where i dont make much music anymore.
If the video doesnt work, here is the link to my post on my Favorite site FA (Furaffinity) (well was on the site) i guess i put it on another site. here it is on sound cloud.
Sound Cloud: My Castle R2 Saphire Studios Remake

MARIO MARIO MARIO

Old Crane Animation

My Crane animation. using 3ds Max 2011. all the animation was done by using wire parameters and keyframing. i did this 2 quarters ago, more than 24 weeks ago. was an old assignment.

My first ball animation

My first ball animation. turned out alot better than i thought. The program i used was 3ds max. I liked how the ball looks. i created the ball in a previous file, then imported it into a new file to use in the animation. the ball its self was simple to create. just used a hedra object, changed how many faces it has, used turbosmooth on it, spherilize, and meshsmooth. Creating the animation its self took me an hour to do, using the curve editor and keyframing. the bounce effect was produced using the squash modifier and key framing. (i know the ball doesnt rotate through out the animation like a real ball does, but thats because the way i did the squash effect on the ball, every time it bounces i would have to change the squash modifier somehow. yes i am inexperienced in this program. im still learning tho ^^)

Obsticle Course Lab assignment

 

 (old version)( the video stopped working)

(new video)

This is a some what updated version of the previous animation video of an old lab assignment. This was done in 3ds Max 2011. I just now decided to add a description to the post and to all other posts when i get a chance. this chance just happens to be at 2:30am on Friday July 13th (spooky). i changed some things in the scene, like color and some geometry of the track. Some of the white edges of the track hasn't been added yet. Did most of the whitening at school, because my home laptop lags when trying to move around in the viewport of 3ds Max. I also added some squash n stretch effect in the ball bounce at the end (tho it didnt show up to much) (as learned how to do in a later post).
