RobotArm Animation

Here's the result for my next assignment. Pick up cylinder, and place it somewhere else. This assignment was to learn how to animate in Maya, so it's not officially critiqued. Any comments are welcome :)... If it's a mean one, please make sure to give pointers on how to make it better, not just say it's crap... You get the idea :) No one likes bad critiques... Enjoy!

Maya Update: First Animation

So, we started the animation part of the Maya Springboard program. I had fun animating this first animation for, well, AnimationMentor. But first, an update on my last scene. I think it came out ok :) What do you think?

And here's the video. It's a playblast.

Maya, here we come!

So, I recently began the Maya Springboard Program; a.k.a. massive Maya learning experience. Here's the resulting product of 1 week of work in Maya. First, I made the character (no joints, bones, or anything technical) out of pure geometry, and I think it came out ok for someone that doesn't do a lot of modeling.

Then came the Scene. Here's some screenshots. I'll be adding a few more things to it every day I learn something new.
