Update blog for our student film

One Last Thing

So, results were out just recently. We didn’t make it through the green light.

Pity though, since we put in quite a lot of work into the 2D and 3D stuff that we had prepared for our animatic and for the final film.

Jamie still has plans to make Bryan and Sam’s adventures into a comic, so we’ll see about that.

But for now, I guess we’ll leave this blog here. Bye

Updated lighting render of our final environment

Here are the completed models, textures, and rigs for the filler characters, done by Celine! The filler students are put into a sitting position cos they don’t need to be moved much, but their arms and body can move if we need some crowd movement, provided our computers can handle having multiple rigs and a large environment.

Milestone 2 was today, so we had a meeting right after we presented to discuss the several improvements we need to make to our shots as well as some of the 3D and 2D stuff.

2D animation tests need to be tweaked a little bit, so Jamie will get right to that.

3D props and set renders will need to be lighted a little better, and also some minor adjustments need to be done for the set to make it look more proportionate. Celine will be doing that and updating it soon.

3D Bryan and Sam - their paint weights need to be adjusted a little, so that it looks more realistic and so that their meshes don’t go crazy every time they are moved. Their heads also will be adjusted accordingly to make sure that they capture the likeness of the 2D characters, so our audience will be able to tell that they are the same character. Celine is working on this too.

Our two animatics have good points in both of them, so Sabrina will be working on combining the good aspects so that our story and our film will then become much better with every animatic we show.

And that is it. Updates coming soon. We realise our meetings are pretty redundant, since we know what we each have to work on and just add on to that every week. But we’ll update here as we go along.

5 more weeks to go.

Animation test done! This is one of the shots from our story, and I thought it’d be nice to animate them in this setting. Again, no heads because head meshes (and by extension, facial rigging), are not completed yet, but the body meshes are working pretty okay!

Bryan animation test by Jamie! Strangely the gif version of this file can’t be uploaded, so here it is as a video.

Here are some animation tests that Jamie has done for the rest of our monsters. She’s also done a test for Bryan but that doesn’t seem to be uploading too well..
