Christmas

Wayhay!

I'm officialy into my Christmas holidays at last! I still have some work to do but it's not much at all. I can't wait untill my girlfriend comes back home so I can be with her again, it's going to be amazing!

Anyway, here's some photography - Snow pictures

COMPLETE!!!

That's right, after many weeks of working on this on and off the Spaceman animation is finally complete! Here it is:

Now to write the report.

Almost there!

I'm almost there! The animation is almost ready to be rendered and forgotten about forever. I spent today animating the weight frame by frame...525 frames! I also built the set and textured everything! All I have left to do now is to animate the camera a little bit on impact of the character falling over.

Here's how everything is looking so far:


I worked out that the 21 seconds of animation should take just under 9 hours to render (with mental ray). So that's going to be left on tonight...hopefully I'll be able to sleep for 9 hours! :P

P.S. Here are the posters just for fun:


The last one is just a chart that I found on google images.

It's getting there.

The short Spaceman animation is getting there. There's little left to do apart from cleaning up the animation a bit, problem solving, modelling a proper set, adding some spiffy lights and then finally rendering it.

Here's what I have so far:



Now it's time to get a good nights sleep for once!

Rough Animation

Here's the animation so far, a quick playblast for you. Still rough and such!



Hopefully if all goes well tomorrow I can finish the animation completely (with minor tweaks left), model the set and do the lighting.

Blocked animation

Today I blocked out some of my animation, here's what it currently looks like:

(Cliks to make it big big)

Hopefully it should be finished quite soon, 20 seconds isn't really all that much even though 500 frames does sound quite daunting. GO GO GO ANIMATION!
