Won the CG Tantra Challenge!!
Hi guys!
Good news!
I won the CG Tantra animation challenge 7 (www.cgtantra.com). It was a body mechanics excersize. A simple one. No acting needed. Just jump and try to catch something hanging up there.
I thought that working on this felt really good. It was a nice break from floursacks and I could apply what Ive learnt to a biped. Only 6 of us participated, but it was good. Loved working on it.. And you know what I won? I won a badge on the forums! Here its what it looks like..
Nothing like a badge and bragging rights.. right?
Check out the animation I did. I worked on it for about two and half hours. Enjoyed every second of it. Crit and Comment away!

Week 4
Hi guys!
Finally calling it done for this week. The “bonking” animation has really exhausted me. I could get what I wanted with the “bonking” sack, but I didnt have the time and energy to really go about nailing the “bonked” sack. ya.. ya.. You can say that I favour the agressor or what ever… but remember, the agressor rules!! ofcourse, only among floursacks that is.. not humans.
Anyways, I also applied some of the corrections that keith gave and polished the previous work.. I made silly mistakes last week.. like not polishing the dive board and so on.. Keith pointed them out… So, polished files.. here you go!

Week 3.. Polishing
This week is polish time for my flour sack. Went about doing it the Graph editor way, but because of poor rig management during the blocking, it was easier to do it by hand. I placed all the breakdowns by hand for these three shots.
The shot with flour sack jumping up on to the box had a lot of things to be redone. I started redoing it, but it didnt come along as long as it should for me to show it to keith. So, I am delivering only three shots, fully polished IMO.
How are they?
Here you go..
