"the Ninja"

Produced as a trailer to a game about the eternal struggle betweens pirates and ninjas, “the Ninja” is the first of a pair pieces made to generate interest the game project.

I used several different animation techniques in this project; primarily keyframe and motion path. It was my first attempt at a 3D character walkcycle, and I’m quite happy with the result.

The interior is a recreation of a traditional sake brewery and was made to a polygon budget that would allow it to be used in a game environment. The premise of the game has moved such that it won’t be used, but it was certainly a challenging exercise at the time.
