portal tests

Well the portal work has been a bit slower then I was planning, but I keep running into wried things with the match-moving.
Any how here is a test at o of the ways I plan to use the portals in my video!

I still have some kinks to work out and figure out a better way to have the portal in the background, but I'll figure out something. As for now I just need to get down to shooting my video so i can cut it all together and then fill in my special effects as needed!

rigging tests...

I chose to rig up my old manta and see the difference between shape keying from last term and rigged animation this term...still a bit jerky and I also dropped the frame rate post render to slow it down a bit, but over all I think it's a bit better. The material is kinda screwy but this more more for the motion and not supposed to be a final product.

Array Vid!

Check this out! I was playing around with all sorts of arrays before I started on this, but as a beginning blender artist the cube really did everything for me! I really enjoy setting up my 3 dimensional array so close together that it looks like the standard blender cube. Any how, though it wasn't so nice on it's own so I developed a little world for the animation to exist in!
