Demo reel - Mundos & DAf

A simple cut showing most of the works where I worked during 2007 and fisrt half 2008.
Most works are from DAf and Mundos Project.

Maya MEL Script - Random modifier

It helps to transform each of the selected object in a random position, rotation or scale. It can be use in an absolute or a relative transformation.

//Ventana

Maya MEL Script - Key Mover

Script that moves all de keys of each selected object an specific number of frames. It helps to create a sequence movements.

//Ventana
window -title "Desplazador de keys" Desplaza1;
columnLayout -columnAttach "both" 5 -rowSpacing 10 -columnWidth 250;
text -l "1. Selecciona los objetos a modificar.";
text -l "2. Cuanto se desplazan los keys";
intField -w 80 -value 1 -minValue 0 mueve;
button -label "Aplicar" -command ("aplica()");
button -label "Close" -command ("deleteUI -window Desplaza1");
showWindow;

// Secuencia de Cerecer
global proc aplica() {
string $selection[] = `ls -selection`;
int $a = size($selection);
int $mueve = `intField -q -value "mueve"`;
for( $i = 0; $i < $a; $i++ ){ select ($selection[$i]); selectKey -clear; selectKey; keyframe -e -iub true -r -o over -tc ($i * $mueve); }; };

My first digital painting, uf!! it was hard.

Here it is was started like a test of mi in photoshop and finished in a complete challenge. No to many hours but a lot of focus work! understand something and figure out how to do others, Its no very beautiful and accurate but I like in a nostalgic way :D

Mundos - Animation Testing

Here are some animation testing for Akine, at Mundos.

Some travel pictures

National Park Huerquehue, South of Chile.

National Park Conguillio, South of Chile.

Mundos

Here is the Final Thesis of my design proyect "Mundos", it was the final review to graduate from the Design School and the whole process took like a year of my time.

In Brief Mundos is an animated TV serie of the adventures of Akine, a child from the tribe Selk'Nam from the times before Colon. This nomadic people constantly travel between the Patagonia islands, the southernmost land of the American continent.

Mysteriously some selknams had the possibility not only to travel in space, but also in time. Akine was one of them. His adventures in thouse travels to the future give Akine the knowledge to help his people with the arrival of the white man.

Here is the complete Thesis (In Spanish): (R)2007)
