As a pointer to those that can't seem to make it work - Cross your eyes until the image becomes 3 frames side by side, then start focusing on the center frame. Eric - fantastic pics. They have intense depth when viewed this way.
Scope and Time-frame The time-frame for this environment is about a month or so.. and i am planning to work as much as i can over Christmas to get this done before i got back to university (as i am studying art). I will eat in to a week or 2 of lecture time as the first week or so of my uni assignments are very quiet so i…
It's been a while, but here's an update on the scene. I've continued to wrestle with getting the lighting and height fog to match the atmosphere and mood that the original concept has. I'll keep tinkering away as I move forward, but I wont be worrying about it too much till I get closer to the end. The terrain has also…
Hey guys! I am pretty stuck. I am 95% there on this script and the padding is giving me an issue. Was hoping someone could help tell me why I am having this problem. Problem: After my first render, if I change the padding, it doesn't render out the new padding amount. I am not really sure why. It seemed to update in the…
The sand blending is looking great! Crits: 1) The mountains in the back should be more detailed and should help frame the composition of the shots. 2) Notice these foreground framing objects, these really help with composition, and they're so simple... 3) Notice the action line from the roof drops your eye right on a…
Scene Size: The file size would probably only be that large if everything still has it's modeling history intact. You'll want to select anything static and hit the Freeze button (lower right corner, under Edit). For anything that is weighted to a rig, you'll want to hit the FreezeM button in order to keep the envelope…
Yeah you guys must have missed the previous post a few months back.. This is one of the most creative and well written shows. ever.. I watched the first season over and over hitting the freeze frame buttons and catching things that i missed the first time, listening to the background conversations and suble clues / hints.…
Ahh good I'm glad it helped. Some more quick info about biped and MotionBuilder (separate app) The layers in biped can be handy in helping clean up mocap by giving you a new layer to key over the top of the old. You can also capture a few key poses and some inbetweens using the copy/paste poses (I name them the frame they…
That's not a bad thing, just have to be smart about it. If they tell you to add dirt everywhere they should also teach you the best way to do it and what to pay attention to. The green stuff isn't gonna do it, too jungle like. If you redo your textures and post them here we can go through that and add the dirt. hmm What I…
Also, when making previews it always helps to have the frame count turned on (especially now that we can scrub through frames). It's just so that we can look at each other's work, and be able to pin-point the exact place of our crit in the animation.
