[3D Animation] - JADE - Jade Quaze - 3-Hit Combo #1 Process
Recent Work
As I'm rounding out my 3rd Year at SCAD, I've taken on multiple projects while managing School Work. These works represent my strongest that I've output this year thus far.
3-Hit Combo
For my Animation for Games course, we were tasked with making a 3-Hit Combo for a character that starts and ends in the idle pose. This is my final 3-Hit Combo.
Shoot Reload
Our latest assignment for Animation for Games was to take a character, and do a shoot/reload animation with personality. I decided to expand upon the weapon choices from my 3-Hit Combo for this shot.
"JADE is a series that I have been working on since High School about a group of young adults who find a greater place in the world. It's primarily focused on starting from a low point and reaching an unimaginable high point.
​
I've made a lot of progress on the series in the past three and a half years, and a fair amount of that progress can be found on my gallery above visually."

About Me
Hi, my name is Brandon Kolaczewski, and I am a 3D Character Animator, Character Modeler, and Character Rigger.  I’m from Libertyville, Illinois, and typically work in Autodesk Maya.  I’m very interested in game animation, as I’m a fan of doing quick, high energy shots; however, I am also fond of doing more cinematic styled animation.  A general process for my work is to spend a significant amount of time modeling to finalize a character design.  With that done, I then move onto rigging with the intent of making character animation for myself as straightforward as possible.  Finally, I test the rig in various animation tests.  This process developed while working on my dream project, JADE.
