done

There we go. It's 12pm, and Maya is finishing the final render. I have just over 4 hours before this has to be handed in so i'll spend some time here reflecting on my work for extra brownie points and listening to music.

Old drawings from Feb

Some early concept drawings for the girl and gorilla. Scanner isn't working so had to take photos.

Using After Effects:

Created a shadow and inserted the model animation in. All seems ok.

Animating

I've followed this animation religously to help get the movement right for the walking animation of the gorilla

Ok, the background isn't that important as I'm only asked to concentrate on the characters. I still had a go at creating one, however this render took 2.5 hours to render meaning that animating the gorilla and rendering the background would take too long. If I can i'll import both video clips into Adobe After Effects and put it together like that.
The trees and grass models are sample objects that come with the render package 'Vue 5'.

Stressed? yup

Hmm, I find myself creating interesting titles for my blogs that arn't really needed. In the future i'll just post it without a title.


Anyways, i'm stressed because Maya does this when I move one of my joints. The undo button doesn't fix it either when this does happen.


Looks like a wreak but I guess I can send it to the Tate and call it 'art'.

The girl above highlights poverty and makes us think about these at war.
