I will hope to have that posted here in the next day or 2.<br /><br />i spent a day teaching myself sub surface scattering and then decided that realism just isn't gonna do it for me. my models aren't totally anatomical or realistic and its just not as interesting unless its textured and lit perfectly. and it wont be.<br /><br />so i started playing around with some weird ramp shaders and post processing the frames alot. not going to toon shade by any means, but i can use them to get some really expressive colors and shadows. considering my concept sketch above had my main character bright blue, it might be more to my liking when its done.<br /><br />again, hopefully, something to show in the near future. just gonna make some more blendshapes tonight.<br /><br />out.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Shaynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11122815286334664197noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119637096630923148.post-68418561524613157512007-10-09T01:25:00.000-04:002008-12-13T03:47:19.237-05:00the sweet wizard in remission is psychically linked with the beautiful snake; having dreamt himself of eating leopards, boars, and dik diks.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCFVZExmBTX9nH2IPV_oe4T35sZZvsrxvU2rDDhmQGcOdTNYY2ZUG0TucuElaoWV_yY12QnL8fJlYdia4dOEInIuabWk-s_HYlS9TbT9NmnyObfKyWKDzzxsbiaucCaBdMDpcMvArgffQK/s1600-h/sun.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCFVZExmBTX9nH2IPV_oe4T35sZZvsrxvU2rDDhmQGcOdTNYY2ZUG0TucuElaoWV_yY12QnL8fJlYdia4dOEInIuabWk-s_HYlS9TbT9NmnyObfKyWKDzzxsbiaucCaBdMDpcMvArgffQK/s320/sun.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119205562773971858" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJto5FM-usBVda5-5yjwpqrYv6Fw6trEzOqs-WWHxOxRF59G1DzziyZ-QV5iISa0h26dlcxOxmz-_rXvk6Dt3z63Zw1-FMLZWib5qP8zGQB-mnMRxL7YS7raRAYNpVZv4DiMExAG4sqSwF/s1600-h/bulb.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJto5FM-usBVda5-5yjwpqrYv6Fw6trEzOqs-WWHxOxRF59G1DzziyZ-QV5iISa0h26dlcxOxmz-_rXvk6Dt3z63Zw1-FMLZWib5qP8zGQB-mnMRxL7YS7raRAYNpVZv4DiMExAG4sqSwF/s320/bulb.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119205683033056162" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><br />some frames i had to render for my thesis class as a lighting exercise. but i threw the guard<br />character in there so i figured i would then throw them up here. i like the light glow and i think i am going to use that as some reference for when i finally render my own scenes.<br /><br />word.<br /></div>Shaynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11122815286334664197noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119637096630923148.post-5924514374902796322007-10-08T05:20:00.000-04:002008-12-13T03:47:19.328-05:00i'm broke, hagar. what do i do?

(logres being the term used to refer to arthur's kingdom historically and caina being one of the lowest regions of hell reserved for blood traitors....oooooohhhhhh snap. here its just an elevator lobby)<br />they are chopped up fragments of men who have been all but taken by arthur's projects.<br /><br />mordred fights them in the dark. kills 'em. cause he has like...extra...bionic power...stuff.<br /><br />he takes the elevator and ascends to the throne room.<br /><br />he encounters the king arthur. i should also explain at this point that merlyn is now trapped by arthur and chained to the wall next to his throne. so mordred and arthur exchange dialogue that wont ever compare to t.h.white's but to paraphrase:<br /><br />"i made you"<br />"i didn't want it"<br />"you stabbed me"<br />"yeah, i'll do what i want now"<br /><br />mordred leaves. arthur enacts mordred's circuits "lysine contingency" plan as he's dying.<br /><br />merlyn, as a ghost-floaty thing, appears infront of mordred. mordred dies.<br /><br />so yeah, there are alot of things going on in there that i doubt will get picked up at all in the final production...or even should be. tried to kind of make it have some meaning but if you preface a project with a "what i was trying to do here" i feel like you have failed already. so i mean, if worse comes to worst, i'll still have sci-fi-violence and guns.<br /><br />go america.<br /><br /></div>Shaynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11122815286334664197noreply@blogger.com0
