Class 3 Final Assignment

Wow, yeah, finally vacation!!! Both from AM and in two days also from work.

I finished my last assignment, the polishing of my second dialogue test. I rendered it over night. I still don't know how to set the parameters for Global Illumination and Final Gathering right so it does not take so long to render and still look good. So I just used Maya Software render with two spot lights and raytracing.

Also I wanted the body and the duck to produce ripples. I used the maya pond function but they have such a bad documentation for Maya that I have not found out yet how to change the wavelength and the height of the ripples. I guess for now I'll have to live with that.

Week 11 assignment

This is the class 3 week 11 animation:



I did some smoothing, added a bit of overlap to the head and changed the right hand movement when dunking in, made the duck not float away at the end. I have one week left to finish this shot.

Wingmansion Logo


This is a first attempt in having a logo for my webpage.
I had started the model long ago and since I didn't have my own webpage I just worked on it recently. It's not the final version though.

New Webpage

I finally have my own webpage wingmansion.com hosted through netfirms.com. It is nothing fancy (will probably stay like that for a while). I just want to use it to store my animations from Animationmentor.com so that I can link to them from this blog.

My last weeks assignment (class 3 week 8) is a re-blocking of the second dialogue test. I chose a soundclip from the movie "National Treasue". The scene it is from plays originally in a library.
My scene plays in a bathroom.
My first attempt from week 7 was to have the character sit in a bathtub and talk to his wife who knows everything better.
Since my mentor Warren Trezevant (from Pixar) said "it didn't read at all" I re-did my blocking and made the person talk to the duck instead.
What I need to change this week is to move the duck on the water and also to change the ending so that he is not randomly mean with the duck, flinging it away.
