Finished

FINISHED

well most of it ive done my animatic my animation just need to do the PNG files now

but overall i think this project has gone well last year when doing the virtual environment project i didn't have a clue and my final piece was quiet boring and basic there was no textures and everything was boxes.

but after doing the semairs this year i have learnt a lot Roma showed me some things i didn't even know you could do like work from a real image and build your environment from that also basic stuff like texturing and different modifiers. then in Andy's lessons i learnt how to rig a model and animate it to be honest when he was showing us how to do it i was so confused but when it came round to doing it myself it made sense probably because i learn better when i do it myself.

when i look back at the first 3d work i did i can see i have definitely improved this year and i know i will continue to improve i am happy with the work i've done but i have no doubt i will look back at this in a year and laugh like i have done with the last project.

one thing i learnt for this project apart from the obvious 3ds max skills is to try and time my seclude better as towards the end i was worried i didn't have enough time to get things done so it meant some very late nights and i left my sound till last when i should of been thinking about it from the beginning meaning the sound wasn't as good as it could have been.

i think my style of work is best suited for character and environment modelling as i feel this is stronger than my animating although that could change with in the next few years. but for this project i enjoyed the model aspect of this rather than animating and i think i understand the modelling and rigging more. as well as this i enjoyed the first stages of the design process as well such as concept art and story bored because i come from and art and design background but as i learnt a lot about drawing and expressive painting at collage i am really interested in the 3d modelling aspect of the project for now.

A LOOK AT THE IMPROVMENT


1ST Project last year




project this year

so ive done my rendering for the 2nd scene which is the most important and edited it with sound overall i think it works well and i feel i have learnt the basics of the program know i understand the modelling part of the program a lot better after this project also i had no previous animation experience but by doing this project i have a basic understanding of it now and feel the next project will be a lot better.

i just have my animatic to do and if time the 1st scene but its not that important.

teasers

i have rendered about half of the scenes for my animation but might have to do some again but for now here are some scenes

1st walking rig

more tests

i have done the arms and legs for my robot heres a test of movement

robot arm test

i dont think the movement is completely correct something ill have to correct

Test

so i animated the space ship and it far from perfect but this is my test

Space ship

for my animation i need and view of a space ship floating across space for the titles,ending and cutscenes. so this is what i made just need to animate it now.

semair

so after Roma's lesson i thought i would upload my train model

animatic

i have done some research into some animatics and have found one for one of my favourite game "Dante's Inferno" the animatic is actually from the animated movie that was based on the game but i couldn't find the video for it so am posting the game version because theres not a huge difference. Here is a before and after video although the game version starts a little before the animatic. and i've posted the trailer for the game as well as is a good trailer.

ANIMATIC





GAME VERSION




TRAILER

this is bully bot sorry for the bad quality i had to take it off my phone due to my lack of a scanner.

Character

well i have two robots to create i have designed the bully bot and got a good idea on the smaller bot just need to think of a name for him and draw him when i have time.

Environment

am not sure on this yet but i was thinking a futuristic room, there would obviously need to be somewhere for bully bot to be lying down.

Foley/Sound

i know i don't want dialog in it as it is something very hard to get right plus from watching the silent movies when the characters don't speak i find it pulls you in more and the dramatic movement are very comical.

hello

been a while hasn't it


will after getting the brief for 3d i've been think of stories and am pretty sure on a idea.

so there are going to be two robots a bully bot and another smaller robot i haven't come up with a name for yet.
the small robot will have a prop and the bully bot will take it from him.

then it cuts to a scene of bully bot sleeping or what ever robots do and the smaller robot trys to get his prop back while doing so he comes across certain obstacles such as traps, alarms and locks. all which he makes a lot of noise getting past but doesn't wake bully bot up. he finally gets his prop goes to walk out the door and slips on banana and lands on bully bot waking him up.
