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.

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.

Lesson 18 Project 2: Occlusion

I've occluded sleep for the sake of occluding the shadow. Am I using that word right? Probably not.

Lesson 17 Project 2: More Shady stuff

More messing with the shadows. We took the effects we had on the background and copied them to the foreground, then deleted the foreground contrast option because it was useless.
