External Project - Dehumaniser : Complete Part 2

In this post we will be covering texturing, adjustments, animating and dynamics.

 Texturing 

I started off with the armor first.
Exported as OBJ from Maya, put into Photoshop to add details.





These were very near completion, however I wanted to add more details to the armor. But for now we can move on to the body.

Before starting on the body we have to go through another phase first.


 Adjustments



Before proceeding further I had to make sure my employer are happy with how the Orc turned out.

We decided this head was too slim and needed to be rounder and fatter.

First edition:


 The head is way too slim.

Second edition:

 Larger but needs to be fatter and shorter.

Third/ Final edition:


This is the final version that both parties were happy with.

I continued to work on the bump map of the model.

 Here is the final model.

  Animating 

Now that the model and rig is ready we can start animating.
Firstly we need to add controls to the rig so the process can be made easier.
Then we can begin.
Test 1: Key frames were put in.
Test 2: Basic camera movement and increased frames of the walk.
Test 3: Increased camera movement and walking motion.
Test 4: Refined camera and walking motion with added lighting.
Test 4.5: Finalized camera and walking motion as well as lighting.
Test 5: Dynamic added.
Walk cycle checked from different angles.

Completed Video.

Formative Hand In

4th Year Final Animation Characters After discussing with my tutors, I have decided to go with an overall limited colour palette of old paper unless the characters are under certain lighting. This is achieved by having a base layer, then a layer of 3 colour range is added. Which is then set as overlay in post production. Production After the rigging of the characters I am ready to being production. I ahve already prepared most of the parts needed. The boat and paddle When setting up a scene, I extract the different components of my drawing and add depth to it in Maya Once of the main concern was the water aspect of the film. This is solved by applying a ramp shader with 2 colour on a ocean layer after converting it into polygons.  As you can soo the ocean are too off with the style I am looking for. After applying the ramp shader it fits much better. Music I have been working with Ollie Yang on the soundtrack of my film. Password: rootandcur...

Developement on Hidden Story

Fantasy   I am planning to base the animation on the wild adventure of John Angus Potter which was hidden away in his diary.   Due to the fact that he worked on a ship, it would naturally be based on the sea. So I decided to do some character design.   These are some researches I have done on interesting looking life in the ocean that i think have potential to be turned into a animation character. And these were some of the results.
