Week 10 Project 2

This week is rendering week, after a month-long effort . Our film is finally finished. The results are still very good.

Summary
This time it was a collaboration with a good friend who we work with regularly. Because of the short time frame, we couldn’t add much to the plot or the content 🙂 At the beginning of the re-design, we were subtracting from the film. We wanted to have enough time to finish it, but we succeeded. It was a new experience for me and it was the first time I had done the whole process of designing a character from design to texture mapping. I had a lot of freedom at the beginning of the project because of the trust of my team members. There are still some lessons to be learnt and I hope to be able to pace myself better for the next project.

Week 9 Project 2

Most of my work is almost done and this week has been about handing over to my team members. I have also been working on resolving any problems that have arisen during the production.

This week Yang told me that when he was working on the animation, he noticed that a few parts of the girl’s hair were going through the mould. I think this is the problem I had with the hair styling last week. I made the adjustments and gave him feedback.

Got the scene progress on CHEN this week and the results look great

This week I started on the girl’s model and also added a travel bag to the girl to better fit her characterisation

Week 4 Project2

This week I finished painting all the characters.

And because CHEN was worried about the progress of the work, I also finished the male models this week. As our story is not coloured at the beginning, my team can start working on camera adjustments and screen control at the same time, even though I haven’t finished the mapping.

Week 3 Project 2

This week I’m working on the first version of the character design and I’m referencing a lot of 3D artists’ sensibilities in my style. At the same time I have added some of my own interpretations. In my opinion in this story the girl should be a very outgoing and infectious character, while the boy is a bit low.

I shared it with my group at the first opportunity and they loved the design. The proportions of the characters are close to life-size, so it was not easy to create glowing materials. After discussing and testing the design, we decided to abandon our initial intention to create a glowing material.So I finished the colouring of the girl first

Week 2 Project 2

Since my main job in this collaboration is still in the role, I looked up some relevant material for reference. We had a few meetings and I was able to get a more precise idea of what the characters wanted – a team of young people with a love interest. The first thing I thought of was a cartoonish style.

Week 1 project 2

This week we discussed the story of project2. After some discussion we decided to do a short story about a beautiful encounter. A boy without colour meets a girl and his world turns into colour. We wanted to design the character to look like a crazy elemental city with glowing materials.
