MEETINGS!

Right! I will be in Wednesday to print and bind my dissertation. If anyone wants to see me then, that is where I will be. As for a meeting. We might as well make use of Friday whilst everyone is in submitting their essays. Even if we meet for just 5 mins I need to evaluate what needs to be done. See you guys Friday!


To all those feeling down in the dumps about their dissertation. Here's a funny little cartoon to lighten up your day!

Roof Spacers

I've prototyped the roof support lattice formation. Once it has been approved I will reconstruct. Also due to the component style of design the pieces can be rearranged to preference. Also, Lewis the file you gave me for the final environment didn't include the camera moves for the lightening shot so I am going to need those camera moves so I can work out the timing for the lightening and what shots it needs detail on and what not etc. Enjoy!

WALKER!




Today I downloaded the facial model the Dean made of Walker. Dean wanted somebody to tweak it so that's what I thought I should do. Tom and I worked together on this one. I Moved the teeth, removed the eyebrows, leveled out the nose, made the eye bigger, re-made the eye socket and tweaked the shape of the head. Tom worked his magic by making the ear. Creating a new eyebrow and bevelling the nose.

Now this looks like Walker. I played around with the old Maya skin and put him in some different expressions. Tom and I make a good duo...like smokey and the bandit!

Howdy yall! here's some Breadbeard pics, I messed around with the colours in photoshop and they look a bit caramely! I also rendered a little head turn to see how just 1 simple light reacts with the maya fast skin.

new shot sequance

Hi guys, this is the new lightning sequence. The bolt comes through the roof, and strikes the grabber. The lightning zaps into the pirates and then into the lights. Lighting up the scene. The guard then stops being electrocuted and twitches.

I want the lightning to travel through the lights across the roof. I've yet to figure it out, but I'm sure J.B will tell me!

NEW SHOTS

Howdy yal! Here's a couple more animatic shots. this is when the guard backs out the doors of the office to drive to the display. The other shot is the guard getting shocked, yeah that one was kind of fun.
