I was featured on the front page of CGTalk today and received 13,000 views on my thread! And was also listed in the CGTalk Email Newsletter. :) My web host was not happy about how much bandwidth i was using. So here are two links that will always be available.

Borderlands Update - Screens

So Gearbox has finally released some photos of the new concept art style for Borderlands. I was very happy to find that a couple of the screen shots that they decided to use in the PC Gamer spread, had some images of my animations. The game is shaping up really well and I cant wait to play the finished product. Hope everyone enjoys the new screen shots.

About the image - I was fortunate to work on all the animations for this creature.

2008 Render Test

Here is a trial render of how i want the reel to look like. Not sure the contrast is where i want it yet, but you can see where the style is headed in this video.

Demo reel progress: Rough

Brothers in Arms: HH 2008 Rough Reel from kyle king on Vimeo.

This is my rough animation reel for 2008. Most of the animations are me in a mo-cap suit; mo-cap then cleaned up by me, with key frame animation added on top. The finished reel will have a break-down of what was done in each shot.

This rough reel is a combination of some animations I did while working on Brothers In Arms: Hells Highway (from Jan '07 to Sept '07).
The reason for this reel, was to get a feel for where i wanted to place each animation in the time line for the Final Reel.
