'Been a long time...

2008-08-17T06:36:00.000-07:00

Well, its been quite a while since I posted anything here; It's rendering time here for me.

I'm just going through the motions, setting up passes and finishing those shots which need tweaks.

The animation has been a little rushed, That is a disappointment; but I'm proud of the test compositing I have done so far.

Next up: Music/Sound...

Bump those uggers down!

2008-06-09T17:19:00.001-07:00

Just wanted to push the ugly fairy from the top! I'm working on improving her :)

Final Face rig Complete

2008-06-07T12:07:00.000-07:00

So, I now have a full cast, rigged and ready to go, Except the fairies shader has 'mucked up' along the way...

Next up, More animation!

More face rigging...

2008-06-05T10:06:00.001-07:00

Another completed Face rig, One more to go, and I'll be back on track to knock out the scenes that remain (so that's all of them) :(

You may notice that she looks different with textures (old version below) But I think she turned out pretty close to how I imagined her to be.

2008-06-02T15:28:00.000-07:00

So, I'm one shot down, many more to go!

I have given myself a final couple of days to finish characters completely. rigs, cloth, the lot. I have finished to face of the creature (see image) and will move on to finishing the witch character next.

After that, I'll be bogged down in shot after shot after shot.......

Mid ani 'May' tion

2008-05-21T14:04:00.000-07:00

Well I'm working on my first shot, to 'sell' the look and feel of the lot. Id rather be finishing the assets first, but I guess there comes a time to 'cut your losses' and get some progress 'did'

Also, I have recently completed a research project, check it out at:
Raven_Research!

Thanks...

Started a shot

2008-05-20T05:57:00.000-07:00

I have started a shot, To test the rig, to see how It could look; lots of reasons! The faces are not yet rigged, but that will come very soon...

Early farm render, adding sparkle, + Creature, Fairy updates.

2008-04-25T02:46:00.000-07:00

Scary pumpkin head

2008-04-23T16:44:00.000-07:00

Here he is, Mr Scarecrow, Raven remains unafraid however.

2008-04-18T10:20:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I have spent too long on this Raven already; Hand painted the feathers; I will probably add A colour map to break up his body fluff. I wanted the 'greyness' but in places its too much.

Quoth the Raven...

2008-04-17T15:48:00.000-07:00

Where did the fairy go?

2008-03-13T06:14:00.001-07:00

This is a light update. I am putting together the final blocktest. This will be the blueprint for the short. Meanwhile, here is a look at the fairy. All the characters still need allot of work doing, but the base meshes are there.

Cottage

2008-02-25T08:32:00.000-08:00

I am now working on backgrounds for a final block test and have completed the witches cottage. Might possibly change the style yet but here it is for now.

More Witch WIP - Now with added Bingo Wings!

2008-02-06T13:34:00.000-08:00

Today I have been mostly testing displacement mapping from Zbrush for detailing, Please take a look...!

Introduction

2008-02-03T10:52:00.000-08:00

Ok! so I've been working on this production for a while now; currently building characters. When they are all complete, I will texture them together.

Update on the Witch Character; Just a test of Bump Mapping with Subsurface Scattering.
