The 3D animation course (Maya) for beginners just ended and here are some animations I made there.

We had many different tasks; walking, running, jumping and lifting cycles. The main task was to make our own 10 second animation. I choose the shortcut scene from Shaun of the Dead and it fit like a glove for those 10 seconds:

For the lifting task I made this classic sword in the stone (or turtle as one of my school mate sees it…) struggle:

The course was fun and I can’t wait to learn more! Perhaps I make Dave The Dog animations during my summer holiday <3!

Notice that I have made only the animations (and Shaun’s textures :)), the character’s mesh, rigs & scripts are (c) Jaro Lehtonen, Metropolia University of Applied Sciences.
