Escape - Hairy Houdini - NOiDEA
polycounter lvl 8
Hey guys,
Team:
Nicholas Regimbald (Myself) - Environments/UDK
Dave Stelmaschuk - Environments
Emma Yonge - Environments
Allison Preswick - Characters
Olivia Wodziszewski - Conceptual/Props
Well, the team is very excited to be a part of this competition. We've been working away on some key concepts and with that done now, posts should be fairly regular. Good luck everyone, already seeing some great stuff!
Concepts/Reference so far:
The main scene/area for our escape involves Madame Bonbon and Houdini the Portly Puss. The idea being to freeze frame the characters midst one of Houdini's escape attempts. Our main shot involves the classic blanket rope tied off on the balcony rail, Houdini in the middle of his descent and Madame Bonbon bursting through the patio doors. If time permits we have ideas for extra renders of Houdini's other attempts which harken back to famous escapes from film or reality for example, The Great Escape's tunnel.
Here's our concept work so far...
Bonbon and Houdini
Character ref/inspirations
Some further design work
and first pass WIP modeling for Bonbon
The parisian setting
Reference Collages
Meanwhile.. some layout work
and tweaks
leading to additional concept work
Ortho drawings for the main mansion
Cheers!

I took the time this week to add some patio furniture and a small environment behind the doors since the bumpoffset used on the rest of the windows didn't hold up upon closer inspection.
The rest of the team should be finishing up shortly so I hope to have some more to show you all soon.
Cheers!
