The Truth is - Animated Short

This is a short I made for a module for my University called "Facial Modeling and Animation". If there is any comment you would like to share I would really appreciate it.

Pinochio takes Jim Carrey's place and he can't tell the truth!

Export3D has just been connected to my flickr account. That's so that I can help my uni work and get some feedback from here as well (if anybody say that my tutor asked me to do it he's lying!!) Speaking about lies let me give you a hint of what I am about to do for my "Facial Modeling and Animation" class this semeser.

I selected a scene from the movie "Liar liar" where Jim Carrey tests his ability of lying with a pen! Here is the full scene:

So I am replacing the blue pen with a red one and Jim Carrey with Pinochio. That will make Pinochio trying to tell a truth! Unfortunately he will end up with a huge nose!! here is my animatic for the moment:

More details and pics in a bit. Stay tuned!!!

Madagascar Escape 2 Africa: Home made Teaser Trailer

I just wanted to have a break from my character and from maya, so I thoughed It would be agood idea to make a trailer out of a scene (which made me laugh so hard) from the movie I watched last night. Here it is:

Thumb on Fire

Last Morning I thought I should start "playing" with After Effects a little bit more. So I thought it would be a good idea to start experimenting on my what I know about fire effects. I made the fire with no pre-made or default effects, using fractal noise. Anyone who wants to know more about how I made it leave a comment and I'll make a small video explaining exactly what I did.
ps. Lioufters is my name in some kind of slang :P

Project: Bone in 3D

Last night I started sketching a new cartoon caracter called "Bone" (originaly made by Jeff Smith) hoping to get it to Maya as good as possible and here i have my first results:

*at this point I have to admit that I am not that good at hand drawings

Project: Coffe table

Last night I started a project from tutsplus in Maya and now after I am done modeling I've got my first image results. From now on I am going to change a little bit the lighting, the texturing and rendering.
