    Since I've had no commercial project for a while (times are tough... ) I've been trying to improve some of my skills to see if it gets a bit easier to find a job... and honestly, I am actually enjoying a lot 3D character animation inside Cinema 4D. The rigging and the weight painting is still a bit of a pain... but its so much fun in the end!
    (hope these gifs will actually load)



    • a friend of mine just went back to college to take an 1-year animation program (he's a 43yo graphic designer). offered a job before finishing the courseGnash
    • Yah, scary times. I will try to go back to full-time job, since freelance gigs are harder to come by these days... and I have bills to pay :(Fabricio
    • These area great. You really have the rigging thing down. That is very tedious and probably the least fun thing to do in C4D but what's better than giving lifeCyBrainX
    • ...to a donut? I think I was 45 when I first started using C4D. (54 now). Lynda got me up and running. Then, Greyscale Gorilla for the more advanced techniques.CyBrainX
    • Yeah, Lynda and GreyscaleGorilla are a big help, I use them a lot too. For modelling I actually paid for a tutorial called "Making it look great" by MotionworksFabricio
    • I totally recommend it :) As for the rigging, C4D has very easy to setup premade rigs, but I didnt like them so much...Fabricio
    • Just watched your reel. Very impressive work there. There's a lot of different styles and skills there. You shouldn't be out of projects for long.CyBrainX
    • Maybe it's the market where you are? Come to Trumplandia. There's always work for great talent on the West Coast.CyBrainX
    • Oh man, thank you so much :) !!
      I dont know what happens... lately things were just super slow. And on top of that had some medical problems...
      Fabricio
    • And being a freelancer, with not so much work... and having to pay for medical bills, not fun. But maybe its also the time of the year.. I dunno.Fabricio
    • Most of my work comes from Europe, and lots of my contacts are still on holidays with the family, etc...Fabricio
    • these look great!dopepope
    • where you based? would you move? Would you animate for VFX films?mugwart
    • Hello Mugwart, I am based in São Paulo, and yes, I would definitely move :) lived a few years in Europe, Australia and also Canada.Fabricio
    • I have sent e-mail to several places, including some vfx studios in the past, but not sure if I am qualified for top-notch vfx.Fabricio
    • Thanks DopePope!Fabricio

    • Great work Sir Fab!Chimp
    • I like these.utopian
    • These are lovely Fabricio :)mutanthands
    • I know where you're coming from. The jump to vfx house from anything else seems to be a very big step. I'm willing to fight for it though.CyBrainX
    • I think the Everyday approach seems to be the best way to get there - New techniques and ideas on a constant basis. It's a hard habit to develop though.CyBrainX
    • I did it for about two weeks in May. I'm about to get back in the swing though. I have no idea how Beeple does it.CyBrainX
    • Hock me up,mat.James.leach(a...

      I'll put in a word for you.

    • Some reason the @ gmail.com got cut offmugwart
    • Wow Fab! Tá fabuloso! ;) "Are you my mommy?" LOL!oey
    • @CyBrainX Yeah, Beeple is a crazy guy! I will eventually try to do a similar exercise, but instead of just doing a render, I want to add a little bit of story.Fabricio
    • Maybe a weekly render of little fun things like the donut... will see what happens. Do it as well :) Its a good practice regardless :)Fabricio
    • Hey @mugwart, thank you so much, will write you an e-mail.Fabricio
    • I am glad you liked folks :)
      Will do more next week.
      Fabricio
