WOW!

Its been a while since I have updated, so let me list things that have changed:


  • Built a Computer
  • Started some new ideas for animations 
  • Started to build some new Rigs
  • Have also been modifying others
  • Started a new YouTube channel: Channel Link
Anyways, I have recently also discovered Twitch, so I will now be livestreaming all of my spare time animation and modeling stuff for a while, so go check that out to and be sure to follow me to keep up on all the action! Twitch TV - Livestreams

One more thing, this is part of my new creeper rig I am working on, here are the facial textures!

Ending to ALL future videos

If you all have seen, or will se the previous post (and also watched until the very end) you probably noticed this handsome, good looking ending:


Well, I must tell you all, this is here to stay, and will be at the end of ALL my upcoming videos. That is until I either A) make a better one or B) have fans submit their version/ completed idea and I use it like once a month or something. 

Anyways, I thought I would just let you know how some of the little random things that actually make things count were happening.

ALSO; this was inspired by TheMopheadEdits

Work Area Updated

Sorry for no recent posts, but I have finally made my workstation 3x more efficient by giving it an upgrade.

I used to work off of just my laptop, but now I have this fancy setup:

Speed Art

Yes!

I have learned enough of Photoshop now to finally start making speed art!

It will all be of Minecraft of course, and what randomly comes to my mind when I just happen to be recording my computer screen.

Hopefully you all will enjoy these as much as I already am!

New Logo and Possible Intro for YouTube Channel

As I start to procrastinate on my animations, like I always do, I decided to start teaching myself more Adobe Photoshop and After Effects.

As a result to this new understanding, I have created my new channel logo:
As well as a new possible Intro to my Gaming Video's:
If you are viewing this, let me know what you all think about these!

A Still For my First Actual Animation Which will be Released Hopefully Soon

Well, even thought this character has a derp-like face at the moment, this is a still image for my animation which will be my first actually published. It will hopefully be a huge hit, and this image also marks the first full HD 1080 picture I have taken, and I hope that I can render this animation in full HD too.

Skeleton Rig for Maya!?

Well, once again I owe a HUGE thanks to the wonderful and amazing, Shrogg!
Seriously, everyone just go to his channel and subscribe to him, here is the link: Shrogg's YouTube Channel
This time he has done the extraordinary and released his Minecraft skeleton rig, which I have now downloaded and plan on using right away.
Here is a still of what I did when playing around with the rig a few hours after it was released!:

Well, its all fixed! Someone by the name of Stephen told me to use jMC2Obj, so I tried it again (I had poor results the first time) and found out that I COULD actually use the program (and learned how to correctly).

So now I am back working hard again to start producing Minecraft animation shorts!

Here is a random image from one of these shorts that shows something out of jMC2Obj!

Hello all!
So, I am in a bit of a problem. I have no way of exporting my Minecraft worlds into Autodesk Maya becomes the program I used to use, mc2obj, is no longer giving download links. So I am hoping that maybe any of you viewers know of any way to export your Minecraft world, but have it look good enough? Thanks!

If you have seen this blog and seen the rigs I use, and wondered where they originated from, they are from shrogg or also known as shrogg2!

Here are the links to the different threads with these rigs!

I hope you enjoy using these rigs as much as I have!

If you want an updated version of the normal rig, the one without the facial component, watch the two rigs in maya video posted earlier in this blog to get the link for an updated version!

There are also some other videos that help with problems that you might have with the rig on my channel, so watch those first if you need help!

Please give shrogg2 credit (with a link to his channel if you use it) and if you use the updated one, still give the link to his channel but also include mine, since I have helped improve it.

Thought I would update this blog finally... Here is an upcoming short called "The Thing in the Mist". Couldn't have done this without the help of Shrogg2, the creator of this rig. Find the rig at this link: Minecraft Character rig for MAYA - Minecraft Forum - Page 2 - Page 2
