Fiat 500

This was my first project in 3D Studio Max. I began the model 2 years ago, when I went to a basic modeling course in 3DS Max.

This project it's not completed because I've worked on many different projects since I started it (as you can see in this blog).
It is based on a modeling tutorial: http://www.3dtotal.com/team/Tutorials/fiat500/fiat500.php Now, I've to finished it modeling details and correcting some parts of the body, and later doing the textured and making a good background to get a nice render.

Weight Lift Animation

This is project I'm working nowadays.
I began this project on a Animation Master Course last year, as a animation practice and it consist in a weight lift action with a character. This character is Max Rigging, and I don't do it, I caught it from internet.

One year later I've resumed this animation cause I want to do more realistic movements to character, so I'm working in it.
At first, I did a really basic 2D blocking to put actions and set timming between these.

Later, I began with the 3D animation on 3D Studio Max. I've only done animation on following video, because character model, rigging and background have already done.

So now, I've to do the in-between keys and refine actions to do the complete animation.

Tintin 3D

I began this project, because I wanted to practice more organic modeling, but I thought that I was not ready to do a human modeling, so I began modeling a cartoon character, as Tintin, but as real as possible.
This is the reason why I've done all wrinkles on Tintin's cloth.

First, I did a basic modeling, as you can see on the following image:

Then, I did the skinning and rigging with biped to put it in a pose (I chose Tintin peculiar walking, as following)

When I got the pose I wanted, I continued modeling parts I thought was wrong on old Tintin model, and I added some wrinkles and details on cloth, arms and legs.

So, finally I've got the model I wanted at first, and this is it:

Work is not completed, because I've to texture it and do a good background to put it there. I hope I'll have enough time on following weeks to complete it and post it here, on my blog.
