Background and Layout Final


In class we took ideas from this one popular background idea website, grabbed a pic from the internet, modeled out the idea, added details and this was my ending final!  No more finals for today, yay! :D

Camera&Layout Final :D

In Camera and Lighting class we each were given a couple of seconds each, we had to match the lighting situation and animation in it as well.  This is the youtube video-I was given the seconds between 3:07-3:15. Great project! I plan on putting the clips together and adding the fire to my second scene among other things, if I can... :p I have a week long break afer this week.



Scene 1





Scene 2




Scene 3


(This one looks a little different because: 1. It's the playblast. 2. It's got the border around it)





Scene 4





Yayyyy. =:D

Background&Layout plus Camera&Lighting

Hello! So this is the 2nd and 3rd scene for Camera and Lighting final I've been doing, I wasn't able to put up the 1st because, unfortunately, my work got erased meaning I'll have to remake it again and the 4th one I haven't been able to start work on just yet.  I used a 3D modeling program called Maya to make 3D models of these scenes, added lights, pictures, and then saved them as jpg's.  It took a VERY long time.




This particular jpg is of another model I made in Maya, but it was for another class.  It doesn't look like it took a long time, but believe me, I spent hours trying to cut into objects so I could make those arches.

I can't add the Hard and Organic Surface Modeling final I've been making on ZBrush because I don't know how to make jpg's on it yet, but I'm sure I'll be exporting a video about it on Thursday.

camera&lighting assignment - importing

We imported a model from Google Sketchup, turned it into an obj, and played up the lighting to make it look good, but we had to use a background of Vegas.  =:)

Last Assignments for Character Ideation

The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett


"The fat man was flabbily fat with bulbous pink cheeks and lips and chins and neck, with a great egg of a belly...and pendant cones for arms and legs. As he advanced to meet Spade all his bulbs rose and shook and fell separately with each step....His eyes, made small by fat puffs around them, were dark and sleek. Dark ringlets thinly covered his broad scalp."
 
Version 2
 

Version1

Boneshaker by Cherie Priest

"Without the coat, her body had a lean look to it — as if she worked too long, and ate too little or too poorly. Her gloves and tall brown boots were caked with the filth of the plant, and she was wearing pants like a man. Her long, dark hair was piled up and back, but two shifts of labor had picked it apart and heavy strands had scattered, escaping the combs she'd used to hold it all aloft."
I made the fat man the day  after I withdrew...I think I'm going to work on stylizing my character drawings more because I haven't drawn cartoon styles in a long time and I think it held me back in class...
