Sword Attack

It's been a while since I post here, anyway here's what keeping me busy this past few months.. I learned so much doing this exercise about body mechanics, thanks to my former colleague and senior/mentor.. http://angelostacatalina.com/ :)

Ok here's my video reference for the butterfly flip, I got this from Ninja Assassin's practice session in youtube..

and here's my first blocking pass..

here's the splined version.. sorry I skip posting my other video reference for the big guy and the stab of the girl.. hehe.. beacause I shoot it my self and I'm a little bit shy to show it to others.. hehe XD

I added a background(from 3D lighting challenge site, Modeled by Juan Carlos Silva)

and I tweak some of the timing and spacing..

and Finally here's the rendered version, but occlusion only.. hehe xD
