Well the last week has been hectic, heres a update on all projects for you. all the projects have to be in for next week and wow i've got a lot of stuff to achieve by then.
The train station sequence is almost complete and I will be showing you that very soon, music and sound effects need to be added. several shots need to be re-rendered and animation needs tweaking but almost there with that one.
Lip sync animation is going underway, here is images of the blendshapes, the use of the connection editor to add the blends to a nurbs circle so that its user friendly for my mate who is using it for his project. (i'm using his to accompany mine.) and finally a render of the textures i've put on him.
above (all blends)
above (mouth blends)
above (eyes blends)
Render of the textures. simple mia nods.
these two images are 1 the controls and two showing the blends all in a list for the user to easily use them.
The sequence is when batman meets a chav. dialogue is done and you will hear that in the final product. here is a render of the chav, james morrisey but him.
above (render of the chav)
The hat does have a texture but i've fogotton to receive that off James
Both character have a very similar set up so it will be easy to animate both.
Now here is some images of my visual studies. all the images are now complete and i have started to animate it (in the tweaking stages now). im happy with, weather or not it will get me a good mark i don't know. we will have to see.
I also slightly adjust them from the camera to give them abit of diversity.
My dissertation is not however going as smoothly as these project are. hoping to get 3000 words done by friday. but tonight i will start animating the lip sync characters to the diologue me and james produced.
Hey there, Visual studies update today been working hard on a piece of work for the 27th. the brief says do what you like within reason. we were given words to choose from and i chose 'Freedom' 'Deserves' 'Recognition'. but this made no difference to my descision but it worked with the idea.
my idea.
Its a picture built with pictures. the main picture is me and the images are of those that have made me what i am today. its a represention of me, topics like travel, social, sports, my work and family are all included. the only problem is that there is 1400 photos to fill here is the start of it.
so intially i had no images these are off my hard drive ^^^
near enough 850 photos later this where im at, soical in the bottom right, travel just above it, work above that and family and sport on the left.
This is all done in maya, because after having the idea i decided to animate it afterwards.
Top image is the low poly model of him, second image consists of a shot of his mouth and his teeth. I also modelled a tounge to go inside. Its weird when you see animations where a character doesn't have a tounge. The audience notice and makes the connection between the two not very strong.
The next image is where ive rendered the contours to show the complex geometery.
Heya, quick update, here is two photos. one from last year where i didnt really spend a lot of time on the lighting and the other was from last night when i spent a couple of hours on lighting it as best i could.
In this photo above the shadows are very good but this was just from creating phyiscal sun and sky and left everything else to default. where in the bottom one the shadows are so great.
But this one may feel abit more fresh. The gain needs to be abit hire so the shadows are a bit better but im quite happy with the style of it. There was a few things i changed, gamma, and the physical sun and sky settings.
Hey Hey,
6th of december back in uni on the 9th. Gulp. I know when I get back i'll be working non stop to get the everything done and to a good standard. Well he is an update of some of my projects and playing around with contours as well on a summer project here it is.
I think this techinque is brilliant. shows how much work has gone into a piece of work
Here next is an update of the Lip sync exercise, i'm modelling batman for the character here he is. not to keen yet on this model may spend another day trying to figure out what he should look like and what i'm missing.
Let me know if you have any questions or advice. last of all this is what i've done on my trainstation, still needs a lot of work but i'm happy at where its at now.
hey, right heres what ive done today. There is a lot of tweaking and still finishing the animation and camera. but this is what ive got so far.
Also i did a quick render of my f1 car with contours. Going to start my dissertation properly tomorrow so no update tomorrow night. But after wednesday there will be.
2012 here we are. Hope everyone had a great few weeks off with christmas and new year. Now over the hols i did a quick shot list for my cluedo animation scene. here is that if you want to have a look (quite boring but helpful to understand what i'm trying to achieve)
