environments/blocking

the environments are almost finished!

just some props need to be finished and put in the scene. I've asked Carlos to do some prop modelling for me.
I've given him this.




this is the landing pod the girl will bang on in the scene.
i have blocked out where this will be.



he said it shouldn't take too long :)

i'm going to post up some environment stuff soon.

the project is going on alright so far. hopefully my animators should find it fairly easy to animate the scenes as they are only short bits.

colour boards

as i said before i haven't actually posted my colour boards up on here. must have slipped my mind, feels like im doing a million things at once at the moment.











I've used quite subtle colours for the majority of things. yes i do want it cartoony and stuff but by having clean/realistic colours it gives a simple feel while still resmbling realism in a way.

coloured and rigged

so the girl is finished, coloured and rigged.

i have just realised i havent included my colour boards for stuff yet so i will include them in there on post after this.

So i have passed the rig onto my animators to play around with. im pretty happy with how she's looking.

Still got tons to do.

modelling

the outside is finished!
all modelled and put together, i have purposely only used pre built shaders (though they have been modified in some cases) this is because of the simple style i am trying to achieve and therefore saving time.

Ben lit this shot, he showed me then how to use physical sun and sky which gives you a really nice initial look and then how to manipulate it to get the look you want.

(first shot)




here is a playblast of the first shot, i had to change the camera movement, the shot coming in from the top just wasn't working even when editing the movement in the graph editor it was going to fast at the end. I have now decided to go for a slow movement toward the museum, i think this works just as well. in a way it also mirrors the first shot of the girl skiiping through the museum which when edited may look nice.



i want to do a render test of the first shot so once i do that i will post it up.
