Update: Community Basketball court

2013-09-05T13:50:00.001+01:00

Added rust to both the fence, the fence posts, and hoop and cracked, peeling paint to the basketball back-board. As you can see I've used a 2D fractal texture as displacement on the court it self which needs to be reduced.

Small Town Update ...

2013-07-30T12:45:00.002+01:00

At the moment I am trying to model a very clean, simple, low poly scene. Currently I'm unsure as to what I'll use it for but, if for nothing else it's proving to be an enjoyable exercise.

A LITTLE UPDATE ON THE CHURCH ...

Every small town has got to have a small town church.

So here it is - the beginnings of the church ...

The scary reality of life after University ...

2012-09-24T16:51:00.000+01:00

I have just graduated from the The University Of Lincoln, with an upper second BA degree in Animation ... While I'm figuring out what my next move will be I am going to concentrate on creating a body of work which will form my demo/ showreel for prospective job interviews. So watch this space!!

First Camera Rendered Out With Sound

2012-05-30T20:23:00.001+01:00

This isn't a finished piece, again due to rendering issues and other hold ups we have handed a half finished piece for the first showing on Friday. Here you can see the renders from the first camera. Hopefully we will have a finished piece for the showing at the Odeon on the 7th of June.

Maybe for Credits?

Swings With Lights

2012-05-14T17:51:00.001+01:00

Swings lit with shadows - rendered out in Mental Ray. I've used a blue ambient light over the model to give a night time feel. The lights you can see on the actual model are just yellow spheres that have had the glow intensity. To make it look as though the lights are effecting how the model is lit I've added two spot lights at the top to cast shadows on the swings.

PlayBlast

2012-05-09T14:25:00.000+01:00

Due to rendering issues we have had to hand in a playblast. I think we're both disappointed we couldn't hand in a rendered version as the playblast doesn't really show what our work will eventually look like, we have lights in the scene and displacement maps on most of the models which haven't been shown in the playblast, it only shows Maya's default lighting. The only plus to this playblast is that it shows the camera movement.

As you can see the final thing is a lot slower than our animatic after Hollie spoke to Denise who advised us to slow it down to prevent our audience feeling as though they were on board a roller coaster.

ZBrush Second Carousel Horse

2012-05-05T17:31:00.000+01:00

Here's the horse finished in ZBrush ... Next step is to export it with the displacement map back into Maya and add the texture. If I had more time I would have liked to have added more carousel like decoration to the displacement. Maybe in the two weeks after hand in I'll have time to do so.

As you can see I've just started modelling the carousel horse for the beginning of our piece. Hopefully I can complete it for hand in!!

(Fingers crossed)
