Rudolph, bringing you a "Shiny New Year"!


I spent my new year's eve building this Rudolph character model in Blender. Finished him just in time including an armature so that I could pose him for this wallpaper. If anyone had told me a few weeks ago that I'd be able to build this model, I'd have said they were crazy! I guess being unemployed can have it's benefits, I've had the time to sit down and really start learning my way around 3D modeling. If I keep this up, maybe by next year I'll be working for Pixar! LOL

Lumber "Jack"


I've created a wallpaper with my improved Lego mini-figure which I've dubbed Lumber "Jack", and decked him out with a couple of accessories!

Walk-cycle video



A youtube video I put together showing a simple walk-cycle I created for my lego mini-figure I modeled, rigged and skinned in Blender 2.61. The walk-cycle is a little fast, maybe more of a run-cycle for a lego mini-figure, but a good first effort I think.

Lego minifigure, created in Blender 2.61


I built this Lego minifigure, based on one I borrowed from my son, tonight in blender 2.61. I'm planning to rig it with an armature tomorrow and try and do some simple walk animations. I'll be posting them to youtube if I'm successful, and I'll link to it here as well. This is a 1366 x 768 wallpaper I created just in case there were any Lego fans out there that would like to download and use it!
