Final

Light Experimenting

I have stumbled upon a big problem which I hadn't though of. I wanted my scene to be lit up in a way where everything was very clean and bright crisp looking but when using a dome light like in the first picture the render time for that one image was 34 mins and the second picture when I put GI on also gave me a look I wanted but again render times are way to high to I am going to either have to find another way to get this effect with less render times or make a change to my lighting idea.

Walk cycle: 1

First attempt at walk cycle, I only animated the legs at this point I know need to put in hip rotation arm movement and maybe take a video of myself walking how I want my character to walk for reference. 

play-blast hand in

After handing in my play-blast I realized I have a lot more animation to do and I'm not sure how I forgot about making a walk cycle so that's the next thing I have to get done before starting my animation again.

Controls done for character

This will make animating a lot more easy. I made controls for elbows as well just in case I want to animate them as well. Took me a little while but I figured out how to make knee controls as well as eye controls to control one at a time and to control both of the eyes at the same time. Now I just need to put this into my nearly complete scene and get started animating for the play-blast hand in.

Character complete.

Weight painting all done and very happy about the play-blast extension not sure how I would of got that done in time with other projects as well. Now that this is all finally done after so long I can start my walk cycle and put my character into my scene.

Final Photos for Light Project

These are my final juxpositioned images where I am showing the same object with normal white light and then coloured light to show how much different and a change that can be made just by adding coloured light, another element that I have added to this series of photos is how zoomed in it is where the first image is a zoomed out shot where you can see the whole object to the final image which is a close up macro shot. to get my point across more vividly I darkened the white light photos ever so slightly. With the use of reflections, I had a reflection but because I was going to be zooming in on the different other ice objects progressively I didn't take this further.
