Ellie Walk Cycle Progression

The development and creation of the Mug Model

I started with a sphere, deleted the top part, then added the solidify modifier and started to move the edges around to make the general shape of the mug. To make the handle, I created a curve in blender to get the general shape, then converted it to a mesh and added some extra subdivisions to smooth it out. I then added a grid fill inside the mug to make it appear as if it was full of coffee.

I was one of the animators for the student film MUG, a short film that has been submitted to multiple filmfests and won Best Animation for ACU Filmfest and Check the Gate. I did the main blocking out for part of scene three and then did technical animation for many of the other scenes.
