The characters, their stories and the animation. It still is my favorite Pixar film.<BR/><BR/>When I first was learning 3D at my home with the Poser4 software, after around 2 months { working at nights after my day job }, I had a walk cycle done.<BR/><BR/>Showed it to people at Disney and after a bit, was offered to head up the animation on the background character on ' Home'.<BR/><BR/>Once again being paired up with two experienced 3D artists { Pete Megow+ Lee Hepler }, my learning curve was a lot easier as those two were nothing but helpful when I had any ' technical ' questions.mark pudleinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11625936782072187091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553624335671730706.post-58069244634419097862008-08-27T01:21:00.000-07:002008-08-27T01:21:00.000-07:00Wow well thats cool to hear!

I don't think I had ever been more frustrated. <BR/><BR/>Looking back, I think it might have been because my switchover came from necessity, where as you seemed to have a real curious excitement about it!Bobby Pontillashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07481827562096184709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553624335671730706.post-57034700057622200272008-08-26T21:38:00.000-07:002008-08-26T21:38:00.000-07:00Thanks kevin :-)The cow was a fun cycle to work on...Thanks kevin :-)<BR/>The cow was a fun cycle to work on. Once again, being able to animate to the music really helped me with the timing, hopefully giving it some appeal.mark pudleinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11625936782072187091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553624335671730706.post-31110751660377600762008-08-26T16:58:00.000-07:002008-08-26T16:58:00.000-07:00Great looking stuff Mark.

It came at a good time in my career. I was just finishing the 'crunch time' on the Disney feature ' the Emperor's New Groove '.<BR/><BR/>I bought a new G4 Mac computer and a copy of 'POSER4' animation software. Late 1999.<BR/><BR/>Turned the mac power button on, opening to page 1 of the ' how to ' book and so began my 3D curve of learning ;-)mark pudleinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11625936782072187091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553624335671730706.post-54584805321842564042008-08-26T10:12:00.000-07:002008-08-26T10:12:00.000-07:00These tests are fantastic!
