Welcome to my new 3D character animation blog/tumblr page!
Every week at this web address, I will be posting up 3D character animations highlighting a particular mood, emotion or archetype.
I have decided to undertake this weekly ritual for a few reasons. It will serve as a means for me to improve myself not only as an animator, but also as a performer AND allow me to share a constant stream of fun and exciting character animations with everyone who wants to check them out! I also plan on doing tutorials, live streams, webcam updates and a bunch of other goodies that I will reveal in time.
In any case, feel free to enjoy my art!
Updates will be posted every Monday with various updates in between each week to show my progress, work flow or highlight any animation news or events that are happening.
Feel free to contact me via email at michaelfgambino@gmail.com or follow me on twitter!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
It’s done! My spring 2012 demo reel is finished!
This reel features a lot of the work I recently finished over the course of this and last month, including some of my “Team Fortress 2” taunts and my “11 second club entry” for March 2012.
I put a lot into these animations and I hope you all enjoy them!
Polish and Revisions… This is probably it, but let’s see how I feel about it tomorrow
Some more revisions…
WIP, but mostly final.
Now things are getting good…
Designs I don’t show my boss, cause I know it’s a waste of time (part x). I kind of like this style.
The last “Team Fortress 2” character taunts are animated!
The Soldier, Engineer and Spy!
I want to try to get all of these guys together in one file to see how well these animations blend together. More updates to come.
Cheers
New Sniper taunt!!!
Edit: If you guys have any thoughts on this animation or if there’s something that could be improved, please feel free to let me know.
Its been a while I know, but I’m still hard at work trying to get these animations finished. Here is a sexy pyro taunt. Oooooooooh~! Same drill. Post a comment if you think there is room for improvement.
I should be getting some notes on these animations, so be prepared to see some revisions (maybe even some alternative poses for some of the characters). I am personally not happy with the Demoman’s taunt. It doesn’t feel BIG enough.
After watching The Tester In A Nutshell, I’ve become addicted to Persona 4 and Battletoads / Double Dragon music. It’s a good week.
Yeah… since I deleted everything I wrote in an earlier post these descriptions are going to be brief.
Here is the demoman taunt. I am not sure how this one is reading. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
