STORYBOARD

So yeah we decided to look at a story for our project Alec has done really well and had got the base down, we then had a meeting on Friday and spoke a bit more and Dan and I put some ideas out as well.
We decided on shots as well and how they will look best with the environment showing off details! When doing it i was thinking a lot abot the rules of composition and perspective thirds, arches, triangles to make the viewers eyes travel where we want them to!

So back to the storyboard very pleased and glad it isnt just a fly through of the environment the story will do it justice and keep the viewer entertained with twists and secrets :)

It might Actually be Possible

Yeah, some good stuff has come out this week, really enjoyed it! We finally have a story to our scene and am really pleased with it all. Texturing is coming along but have got frustrated along the way, but still learning from the internet.
We are still really working hard in order to get the most out of this project, we all know what we need to do and we are just getting on with it.
We had some good bonding today and ideas were coming out and changes but we were all excited by it, modelling is nearly done and we are looking at ways to reduce polygons and lighting.
I LOVE BUMP MAPS!!!
We (Dan) has tested a 60 frame to the render farm worked kinda. He has a new way of representing cloth/wind in the project and we are all going to test it!

Robert!!!

Ok over the past two days Robert has come in and taught us a lot about rendering and in layers compositing and just helping us with our queries! It seems like he has known us and our projects for more than just two days!
The work he showed us a gentlemans duel was a great short film and showed us that we can achieve high quality work!
Compositing is amazing i didnt realise what you could do with the different layers!
Actually being able to render an image is great and see all our work come together gives the team a boost and with texturing going well, we are all happy bunnies!

I Wana Go Home (Michael Buble)


Yeah so this is a picture of one of the homes, placed the texture and a bump map, pleased with it at the moment!

Need to look at the alpha channel or something, as you can see the black where i have removed tiles but yeah need to look in to it!
