Home Runner Murraythis 2013-05-17 | Music by Chainz45 *Scene file at bottom of commentshttp://www.youtube.com/user/Chainz45Special thanks to everyone at OSFM for helping out daily, and James McVinnie ('Practical Problems', 'No Mercy') for aiding with the camera work. This animation started out as a simple gag which I aimed to complete in no more than One Week. That was back in February. As ideas kept mounting I decided to roll with the elaborate ones. Below I have linked the scene file, as well as a run cycle for the scout. The following is to be used non-commercially, and not to be confused as your own work :Pdl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1745044/HomeRunner.zipIf you have any issues with the file, questions concerning the video, or what have you, send me a personal message here on youtube.EDIT: Tutorial link for maya to sfm: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2796532
Animation Test for Ninja Theory Murraythis 2014-12-16 | As part of my application for Ninja Theory they asked me to complete an animation test. Total time animating this came to 31.5 hours, with 8-9 hours planning.I got the job!
Untitled Project teaser Murraythis 2013-03-31 | Originally titled "One Week" this was going to be a quick animation to practice some acting with the scout. Problem was I got a little out of control and turned it into a action film. I wanted to wait till the video was completed before I posted any media for it. but with multiple projects on the go right now I was unsure when this video would be finished. So this video is pretty much a chance for me to offer an update on what's going on right now. This is a tiny section of what I've completed so far, though it's still WIP so the animation, render, camera etc isn't yet final. If everything goes smoothly this should be completed end of April. Fingers crossed I don't get hit by a car or something. Music is from the soundtrack to Trigun, which is a really cool show btw.
Animation Workflow Murraythis 2013-01-11 | Over Christmas and New Year I wanted to relax a little so I decided as a one off I'd create a short scene and share with you the stages in which it was created, as opposed to what i usually upload. The audio was taken from 11secondclub's December competition. This video is a direct rip-off of this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=l-S7wQx_hvsI started by staging the scene using the two characters in the environment, to give me a general sense of positioning and timing. Following this I sketched out the extreme poses for both the sniper and the engineer. With prep work completed, I blocked out the scene. The engineer's walk was created using a straight ahead method, where I'd create each pose one after the other. This took a long time and made for a few errors. In hindsight I should have just blocked out the extremes and then done the inbetweens, as I did for the sniper once he'd stopped walking to face the engineer. When I was happy with what I'd blocked out, I switched the tangents to spline mode and started the arduous task of deleting keys and correcting curves. Thankfully having blocked out the scene meant there was very little "new" animation to create on top of what I'd done so far. I did the lip sync as well as the facial animation while in spline mode (I only created the main expressions while blocking). The scene was made over a few weeks, though being that it was Christmas I took the occasional day away from working on this animation, as well as taking a relaxed attitude to finish it, which is why I can only offer an approximate time in which it took to complete.

Music by "Jaybird Coleman - Mistreatin' Mama".I storyboarded the scene last Friday and began work Monday, finishing it earlier today, so to estimate how long it took in total, I'd pin it down to just less than thirty hours of work.

Scout Fu - A Team Fortress Story Murraythis 2012-07-12 | First video using Source Filmmaker, and a long time since I've animated anything, so a lot of visible mistakes here and there.

Shards Alpha Footage Murraythis 2012-03-02 | http://walkerism.wordpress.com Shards is an upcoming physics based 2d platformer in development for PC. For more information visit the blog posted above. The video shows Work in Progress and does not represent the final product =(*this footage was captured with FRAPS
Scout-Fu Source Filmmaker Test Murraythis 2011-02-08 | Importing some custom animations using the Maya Team Fortress rigs into Source Filmmaker. The animations are unfinished. Team Fortress 2 and the Source Filmmaker are both properties of Valve.
Walk Cycle Murraythis 2010-09-03 | This is an exaggerated walk cycle of a human male character created in Maya (entirely keyframed as always). I built the scene in about an hour earlier this afternoon. All credit for the brilliant character rig goes to andylt1 on creativecrash.com http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/character-rigs/c/humanmale
Half Life 2 - Alyx Rig Test WIP Murraythis 2010-08-26 | My first Rig in Maya, decided to whip up a test animation. Lots of problems with the rig when moving the arms and the upper body in general, which as you can see led to some flailing of the arms and stiffness to the chest during this animation. I felt it was quite pointless cleaning up the problems since this animation was intended to test the rig out and discover the problems rather than find ways of masking them. Also it's beer o' clock and my fridge is full of Brahma :D Watch, criticize and enjoy! All credit for the model goes to myself, I made it! Just chumping, thanks Valve for being so generous! Also thanks to thejazzman9475 for the idea and inspiration!
Parkour Animation 3D Murraythis 2010-03-10 | Took about 4-5 hours to build (a couple of minutes in my history book to plan) and as always is made using keyframes. Will be the last "demo" animation I make for a while now. Enjoy.
Quick Martial Arts Fight Murraythis 2010-01-14 | I think I've finally figured out how to make a decent render, even if it did take over two hours. Scene itself was intended to be longer, plus had I rendered the scene at a lower quality to make sure all was dandy, I would of changed the angle to show the attacks on the first character more clearly, from the angle it's at the punch appears to be more of a slap. All credit for the great character model goes to mattwoodsart of Turbosquid.com. http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/human-male-obj-free/370689
Parkour 3D Murraythis 2009-11-30 | Made this scene Yesterday Afternoon, quickly finished off the landing and rendered it now. All credit for the great character model goes to mattwoodsart of Turbosquid.com. http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/human-male-obj-free/370689
Parkour Vault Murraythis 2009-10-25 | As usual, made entirely with keyframes. (just noticed it doesn't play the final second of the animation where he goes back into the run cycle, sorry about that) Thanks to Grizzly3d on Turbosquid for the model. http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/351964
Quick Scene - Free Running 2 Murraythis 2009-10-02 | This is an updated version of that other Free Running scene I made using various comments and criticisms. I also improved the render so it's not as dim lit as the other scene. Only thing to note is I didn't bother animating the hands.
Quick Scene - Free Running Murraythis 2009-09-28 | Just a quick free running scene I made in endorphin. Few rough areas occurred when I imported it to max and could of been refined had I spent more time in 3ds afterwards.
3ds Max Multi Fight Scene Murraythis 2009-08-10 | Had a few difficulties rendering this one in Mental Ray so sorry about the bad lighting.
3ds Max Roof Jump Murraythis 2009-08-08 | This was my first attempt to build a scene from my 3ds max - Endorphin pipeline. Unfortunately whilst attempting to make the transition from my run and jump animation to my land animation, the jump did not reach the platform, so in a chump move I added force events to the character driving him higher into the air and further to reach the land animation, thus ruining the flow.
Maya Fight Test Murraythis 2009-07-22 | Decided to go back to Maya and found a rig that doesn't lag. Also again I got lazy so the second half of this animation, so it's a little poo. I'll make sure the next scene I post from Maya will be rendered properly, contain more effort and be lengthy =D
3ds Max Parkour Murraythis 2009-06-24 | If I knew how to zoom in on the time line at the bottom I would have made the scene longer. As always the scene was made entirely of key frames and did not use footsteps. Noticed the video quality is pretty poor. If I get round to it I'll upload a better one.
Walk Cycle 2 Murraythis 2009-01-11 | Walk cycle made using 3ds Max. Tested out lighting on the scene too
3ds Max Biped Fight Murraythis 2008-11-30 | Some guy clobbering another guy with kicks (second animation in Max)Still a poor quality Fraps job.
