Source Film Maker
About
After playing around with several programs I settled on using Source Film Maker (SFM) to try my hand on posing and animating models in a 3D environment. SFM was picked due to the ease of access and is very beginner friendly which is important to me as I have absolutely no prior experience nor knowledge of 3D environments, let alone posing and animating. My first project using SFM was in 2015 and for the Mistral Pose.

Website Banners – Aug 29 2015
After going through and trying many different things I’ve finally decided on a banner (see front page/last), here are the other banners I’ve made that didn’t make it.

Mistral Dual Gun Pose – July 2 2015
After having numerous problems and struggles with UE4 I’ve decided to try out Source Filmmaker (SFM) instead, after about 1-2 hours of tinkering, I managed to pose a character to a satisfying degree.

Animations
Banner Video Animation Motoko Idle Loop – Sept 25 2019
With the new website re-design having a video playing in the header, I am in need of a new banner video. The idea was to make a simple banner in a darkly lit street and have someone to the side of the screen watching over with some simple idle animations and to make everything loop together nicely.
Final Version – removed lightning strikes and kept character on screen and added new animations
Ver 1.0 – The original had to be changed out as the lightning flashes were too distracting

Nova Animation – July 4 2015
This is my third and possibly last animation for the moment. It features Nova, a sniper from Starcraft 2 against some combines from HL2. This time, I did not use as much pose-to-pose but focused more on some of the model sequences and then fused/blended them to look good for the transitions.
