Project 3: I'm fairly certain I messed up, but I have to much on my plate to figure out what and where.

Before Modifications

In Nuke. Working with Diffuse. I couldn't export my images for some reason, so I screen capped. Specular added.

Diffuse added

Ambient Occlusion.

Shadow.

Final Result. That random redness is a bit jarring.

Quick Start to NUKE

I got up to video 6 out of 11 today.

I pretty much understand what's going on, it actually seems a little easier than after effects.

Random Stress Quizz. Worst day to stop taking my anxiety pills.

There were shadows. They just wouldn't go onto my background. You see half of his eyes shadowed. I give.

Project 2 Final Videos

So, I thought we had to make a completely new model. In the short amount of time I was able to free myself for this, I've made these.

Batch Rendering.

Once that's done, I just gotta piece it together in after effects.

Rigged Character

I gave this guy a VERY basic rig.

What I'm Animating

Here's this weird football-playing shrek creature. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing, but my mesh is alive. So… Imma use it.

Lava monster or Stop Sign... Which to use?

I'm building two different meshes at the moment to turn in next week with project two. I would like to use the Lava monster shown in my last post, but that entirely depends on wether or not the texture I made transfers out of Zbrush. The other Is a simple stop sign with another sign swinging from it reading "Dead Ahead".

Lave Bug Monster

So I was working on this in class, and if I can get things straightened out I'll put this into the scene.
 If that doesn't fly, then I may just make a sign or something.

Lesson 24 Project 2: FINISH HIM!

Dunzoed.

Lesson 23 Project 2: Sandbags

Almost done. Almost done. Just a little more.



Lesson 22 Project 2: Correct dat Color

Mine is so dark, but all of my settings should be exactly what his are? What's going on!?

Lesson 21 Project 2: Break it down

We used the color matte to break down the info of the sign into its various parts.

Lesson 20 Project 2: Fusion-ha!

We combined the color passes. Deal with it.

Lesson 19 Project 2: Ambient Occlusion on Dat sign

It took me 10 seconds to realize I was looking at the wrong screen. The problem? I was looking at a powered down computer… 5 feet away.
Oh, and in this lesson it was mainly rinsing and repeating the last lesson, but with some tweaks.
