Small over view

So, what Have I done so far in the last view month.

I started first with watching the tutorial collation about Paint Effects.
This took me around 3 Weeks of watching and learning how Paint Effects at maya
Works. After this I started to produce my first own Paint Brushes.

In this time I learnt new view and possibility's how to work with Maya.

I had then to set up my Storyboard so I can stared with the shoots.
At the beginning I had a lot of shots because I wanted to make the whole building.
But in the time of working and spending time on details, I realized that there is
not enough time. So I had to decide between making everything or going into detail.

I decided that going into detail is more important then setting up all rooms of the building. The reason is that my abstract artefact is about the nature reclaiming the man building. And nature is a beauty and this beauty needs to be shown. So that's why I have to go into detail and it is not important to produce all rooms of the building.

The sound is the second important part of the Animation. Because of the abstract and the hidden story behind it, is it important to have the right sound.
After a talk with Hugh, we got the solution that we need a folie sound but not a music-track. The sounds of growing plaints and moving brunches will give the Animation the feeling of reality and true happening.

Just a taste

Finally,
I managed to render this sequence after my Laptop crashed more then once. I have copied all my files, 37GB, and project to my Desk-computer and tried to render everything there. and it worked. It was important for me to render it once in a high quality, so I can see how it look like and see the mistakes (like the window part there is some small stuff to be finxed, or the light).






This is still not done, need still some hours of work. I still need to render 5 layers what needs to be added on the flower, flying in the air, ceiling and Light. But it is going well.

So Far

Hello everyone,

I thought would be interesting to upload my first drawings for the storyboard just to have it commented.

Well

The rendering of the Layers is mostly done. I have already 37GB of frames. I hope it will not get higher then 40gb or I have to start deleting stuff from my laptop.

If everything work well today I will finish my next sequence and upload it.

This sequence is one of the hardest because it is made right now with 37 different renders layers and it is still not finished. I'm trying to give it a good deap into thats why I'm using all those layers.

so see you soon.
