11 second club Mexican Potato guy

I made this in Blender 3d, from scratch when I was 18. I still cannot believe the amount of time I spent back then trying to do really simple tasks in a 3d application. Youtube was still young, and there were mostly just stupid/funny videos to try to drive traffic. I was born just a couple of years early I think.

I used to go to the library looking for books on animation, and all I could find was this textbook on how to use blender, and a book from Bluesky Studios that sort of just mentioned how the process works from start to finish...but they didn't tell you how to do anything. I definitely should write a post about the books that saved my sanity! Really, I was trying to learn a skill that literally NOBODY that I knew had any idea how to help me. It is hard to learn something when you don't have anyone to turn to for answers.

This will be a good topic for a later post.

My August 11 second club submission - It is in Spanish, so I am not so sure that the lip sinking is correct.

This is my entry in the 11 second club's competition. If you have any questions as to what this is all about - just go to 11secondclub.com, and you can vote on your favorite animation skills!

Crayons are fun!

There is a contest for creating actions for the Apricot game on Apricot.blender.org. This is my contribution so far...If I can find a way to get it to them.

Here it is! Aren't you just so excited you could cry?

The Tortoise has come a long way since I started this thing...She has a set of working bones now, so soon I will be coming out with a singing test.

I just discovered a thing called scribbler, you can find it at zefrank.com/scribbler, these are some pictures that I created with it.

This is my latest version of the armadillo section in the Numa video. I think this is as far as I am going to go with this part, but when the whole thing is finished I might try adding some effects with compositing in Blender - But I've gotta learn how first.

I am testing the blogger's ability with this armidillo model turnaround video.
