June 7th, 2008: Ocean Wedding

Some preliminary photos of the first part of my Wedding Announcement Ceremony.

Many co-workers, friends, and well-wishers gathered to support us in our matrimony. They all lined up on the bridge out to a small island, and we stood before them for a large group photo. Here we are on our way to the photo spot.

Motion Capture Tai Chi Trial : Dec 2nd 2004

Hmm... It's a safe bet that anything you do is going to be harder than you think it will be. This is especially the case with Maya, and working in 3D. Please take a look at what I've been working on here.

They're a little warped because of how I compressed them in Premiere, but I think you can ignore the squashed look


Watch the 1st attempt?


Watch the 2nd attempt?


Watch the 3rd attempt?

So...yeah, if any of you are Dylan... or Danny... and you have some suggestions for me. Let me know. I think it's an issue with the models paint weights... I didn't model the polygon mesh dude, by the way. But yes, I think he's really sexy in movie #1 ^_~
