Colossus Fur Dynamics

So here he is! There are things that I still want to change and fix but I do like how he came out.

Portfolio Piece 3

I have decided to change my third piece. Instead of creating a completely new creature from scratch, I am revisiting the character from the fist semester.

This is a rough idea of what my schedule would be...

July 12: Start reworking model and rig
July 14-15: Finish model
July 16: Start fur
July 23: Theseus due
July 31: Piece should be done
August 1: Project is due

A few of Ziva animations...

So here it is. Unfortunately, I was not able to create an ambient occlusion pass since I was only getting 100 frames every 8 hours... :(

Last Week For Nico

So this week is going to be tough.

The Nico animation is taking longer than I originally thought it would. It has already been cut down due to time and I really don’t want to cut it down further. (The animation is roughly 60% finished.)

So here’s what I’m going to do for the rest of the week. I am going to try to complete as much of it as I can without cutting anything out. If I can’t finish it in these next few days, I will be forced to shorten it… After all, I do need time to light the animation as well as have several days just for rendering.

Perhaps, after the turn in date, I will have time to come back to this animation and complete part two to have one whole piece.

Nico WIP All Blocked

Here is more of the Nico animation I have been working on. It's all blocked out now! Yay!
