WIP - Final Film

More preprod. WIP.

I think what's most exciting and motivating in all of this is seeing things come together and having this idea that has been thrown around in my head slowly turn into real assets and a concrete story.

First Models & Low-Quality Test Renders

Summer Doodles

Summer has been good to me, though, it is almost Fall. My final year of college approaches quickly. I am gradually developing ideas for an animated film that I'll be creating during my last months of study (though, I believe we continue learning and growing during our entire lifetimes); however, I've yet to create something I believe is worth sharing just yet. Here is a summary of personal work I have done the past two months.

Project Tanuki!

For the past few months I have had the luxury of working on a video game project entitled Tanuki Project directed by Evan Gruntz with a small talented team.

Bus Sketches

Some random sketches I do on the bus when I feel like I need a break.
Some of this probably isn't worth much, however, I still feel like sharing. ^^
I spent around one hour and fifty minutes in the morning and at night, and this is partially how I spend my time.
The majority of the time I create assets for a video game project I am working on and on my final project for next year.

I love you, Turtle.

Matte Painting

A little environment I came up with and created for Matte Painting class. Here are images of the final piece, the render in 3ds max with lighting and default textures, an ambient occlusion render, and preliminary sketches of the ship design. Modelling in 3ds max, textured (over render) in Photoshop.

Final piece:

Painting of an Imaginary World

Here is the final painting along with the reference I used for the world I developed.

Azores, Portugal Matte Painting from Reference

Matte painting from a reference photo. I changed the reference photo in PS by using content aware, which explains the “stretch” on the left side of the photo. Fun project :D
