Some of the WIP screenshots over time: Getting the scale right in maya. 1 unit equals 5cm so the chair was roughly 180cm high and 60cm wide. I used 5cm units since maya places pivots in the center of newly created objects, and when grid snapping to the grid line it makes it a little easier to enlarge to even chunks of…
(Down-res'd images) I decided to do a diorama around a movie studio because I haven't seen it done before. (as far as I know) The premise of the environment is basically, you have the studio-guys doing a photoshoot for a movie. Takes place around the 60s, just a decade after the Korean War. The Hollywood big-wigs decided…
Hello, So I am trying to make a character in angel robes based on the image below. I have a base mesh that I am already working with. What would be the best way of projecting the topology of my mesh onto a plane or cylinder that I can turn into the robe from there? Turning the mesh flat and using the circle looptool…
Report: Peter Jackson displeased with Lord of the Rings games It is interesting to see that video games are starting to get the critical attention they deserve by the big wigs of entertainment. I personally have never played any of the LotR games (sorry SouL), I remember seeing reviews of the games being around 7 or 8s, I…
In most other industries layoffs are a sign of things gone terribly wrong...In our industry its just another aspect of companies business model...that speaks volumes right there. And for those who think unions are sooooooo terrible, I say dont hold your breath for the corporate big wigs to suddenly grow a consciene and…
[ QUOTE ] Actually I'm planning on a second article that's kind of a how-to for making yourself as attractive to employers as possible and it will include all the items you've mentioned Ferg. :-) [/ QUOTE ] Blonde wig and lipstick? Sorry, mind drifted for a moment there. Great read and so very true here in the UK too. For…
some tidbits- http://www.germancarfans.com/news.cfm/newsid/2050201.007 "Each actor wore exactly the same suits as Gene did in his memorable scene. Using the most impressive make up and CGI techniques Genes face was mapped onto the actors face..." "It took a crew of 22 men 14 days to put together a set for the advert…
Small update on her, most time spent on her would be the plane hairs...which I found to be a good practice on Terra when her time comes. I still have plenty of things to fix on her and it's mainly her transition from high to low poly. Lost some of her character from when I was working on the high sculpt. ALSO the hair that…
Lots of effort, but yeah it still has that look like they filmed it with their parents camera (i dont think parents use cameras anymore.. anyways) Doing something serious is hard, so A for effort. But C for not Cquite. Links wig is horrid, that is what made it so bad in the first place. I'd like to think of this as a…
I thought the story actually wasn't too bad...and I am normally a sticker for those sort of things. The CG was amazing. I noticed a lack of 3D, even when they were in The Grid. There was no "in your face" cg shots, which I am fine with. I took my glasses off for about 5 minutes when they were in The Grid and you could…
