In Time For Halloween One of the things that amuse me about 3D animation are all the outtakes reals. Not the scripted ones, but the ones where a character’s fur explodes to a ridiculous inverted characters. One of my first experiences with that was A Beautiful Disaster. A simple walk animation where the legs weren’t keeping pace with the body, based off of CGCookie’s Animation Bootcamp. Today’s accident involved the Blender Human Generator plugin.

I was recently asked what I’d make as a Blender tutorial from a company that already has a ton of great, in depth courses. At the time I was stymied. A lot of what I’d teach was already covered by their lessons. I know now what I’d teach. A tutorial specifically about proper scene management in Blender. It’s one thing to create an animation or two, but even a relatively short animation can involve scene management.

Well, I heard back and I didn’t get the job. I’m pretty sure they had a lot of applicants, and I’m happy to have had the interview, but I can’t help but think that I may have messed the interview up a bit. Also, I am not yet as productive as I’d like to be. I’m working on a paid for project, which has slowed my contributions to the CGCookie Gallery and paused my own development of this portfolio site.
