On a snowy winter day, Argyle decides to go outside and test his snowball throwing skills. He finds that the snow packs well, and that he can still get some nice velocity on the snowball when he tosses it across the field. "Right down the middle! Just the way he likes it!" I put this video together to display using Blender to build my Argyle character creation, and with the aide of the Mixamo website's armature-rigging animation presets, I was able to make Argyle come to life and throw a snowball. I used the "Grease Pencil" feature in Blender, and only applied it to the snowball. I think it added a nice touch to it. A few tweaks here and there in Blender, and this is my final result. My goal is to create a short animation of a snowball fight between Argyle and Elmo, but that's gonna take some work. But small steps first....

Introducing my new animated version of Argyle, doing the Gangnam Style dance. Argyle is a cartoon character I created years ago. I decided to build him in 3D using Blender, and then using a new rigging animation feature in Maximo to bring him to life. After many struggles and setbacks trying to get his newly constructed figure to work in Maximo, I finally succeeded in animating him. I chose this Gangnam Style dance to introduce him to the rest of the world. I admit, this animation is a bit over the top, but it's all in fun. There are a few elements of Argyle that I most likely will change in the future, including his hair, his shirt, maybe his eyes, and the shape of his head, to try and get him closer to what I envisioned him to be when I first created him. Much more of Argyle and his friend Elmo, and The Duck Song Duck to come soon! In this video I incorporate a rigged 3D character rigged for actions, tiny blinking lights, revolving text, and shattered glass text for the ending title. Also added are some extra text and effects used by editing in CapCut.

I picked up my brother at his house in Shawnee, and then we drove out to Leawood, Kansas to have a nice Easter Sunday lunch with the family. Then I take a drive back home late in the day to finish off a great Easter Sunday.

We encountered a wild turkey in the neighborhood on Easter Sunday. Where did this turkey come from? My nephew Preston and a neighborhood girl tried to help it out.

This is an animation that I put together using characters and rigged action sequences from Mixamo. In this scene, two gladiators engage in a quick brawl - Mortal Combat style. Thanks goes out to MK Graphics’ for his Blender tutorial on Youtube, for all the great tips. After learning these new animation techniques in Blender, hopefully I'll be able to create more of this type of animations in the future.
