What's Cookin'?
It’s been a while since my last update, so I wanted to share what I’ve been doing these days.
Game Jam:
About a week before the COVID-19 Stay at Home order, I participated in a Game Jam with some friends. The theme was ‘Cycles‘, so we made a game about a hamster breaking the cycle of running on its wheel day in and day out. I was responsible for modeling, rigging and animating the characters as well as voicing the narrator. I also helped setup the ragdoll system with another programmer so that the bone colliders interacted with the inside of the hamster ball. It was more difficult than we first thought it would be :)
Rigging Dojo:
I’ve also been learning Blender in my free time to see how the new 2.8 update is. To help bolster my Blender knowledge, I signed up for Rigging Dojo’s On Demand class that covers motion editing in Blender and compares it to Maya/MotionBuilder pipelines. It’s been great seeing the workflows and best practices demonstrated in the class. Class details can be found here: https://ondemand.riggingdojo.com/BlenderForMotionEditing
