Character Head Full


Here Ive added and UVed the beared and the throat. I played around with the beared as when I did it I was not sure if it looked right so I have done two which to pick from.


B1 Front


B1 Side



B2 Front


B2 Side


Head So Far


Here I hvae played around with the hair of the character. I think it has come out quite well. It still needs his beared but its getting there and looks alot better with hair.

catapult progress

The catapult is built, and the slidy firing device works.  I seem to have messed up the UVs somehow so it's going to take longer than I hoped :(

Environment Modelling update
















The Sunflower (wip)

At this point I'm not sure what rendering passes we will need, or if it should be done all together anyway.I'm rigging the stem and leaves so it can wilt and droop.

Modelling & Tests


For the first time, i discovered how to apply ambient occlusion and was curious to how it would look on my  new model, once i applied it the results were pretty good, and i decided to put it into Photoshop and play about with the textures on the model from there, here are the results ;

I also Learnt how to apply the Toon Shader playing about with the crease tool shows effective and could really help exaggeration the aesthetics within this animation.

Maya Building - First attempt





First Model

After our tutorial with Alan, I realised that iv been looking at Maya in the wrong way making it more complicated than it is revolving everything around smoothing the building when i could achieve the same effect without smoothing it and playing with different passes such as "Ambient Occlusion" and the "Toon Shader", therefore I'm trying a new technique to fit my skill-set and stylization personally to achieve the simplicity that our animation requires, this will help me to model quicker and also bring a nice feel to the buildings aesthetically

Blocking the buildings in

Adding windows

Adding shading and floor texture

windows

finalizing the windows

I am still to add texture to the image, and i have recently discovered that the building that we look down at the bottom is out of perspective so once i have corrected that the image should be finished.
