Starting with Edit

Well it is not done, there will be some changes (well in the time of uploading I have changed alot of light setups) but just for demonstrate how it will look like.

This is one of the shots (the secound shot after showing the building)




How some of you have relzed in the background is the coven garden. This is because I'm helping a group from the Media production module. They want to transfer coven garden in to a "alien"-forest and will be used my plants :)

Walls and Windows

So, well There are the render shots of my window detail and a short view of the wall staff, Is going better and better.

Tomorrow I think I will start to make my first editing.

This is a detail shot from the Window, I will use as background a star-sky.
maybe I will render it again because there are some bits growing just like this in the air and not from the wall.


The next one will be used to cover the walls.

So far

I started editing the first stuff together and this is how it look like so far.
I needed some hours until I found a way how to combine light with painteffects. It is a bit tricky but it works :) now I need to make some better light setups, because the turning on and off is not smooth.




it still looks empty but no more long :)

Sound and Folie

So,
The meeting with my supervisor today was really helpful.
We managed to get my soundtrack and folie be done by someone else.
That mean I can more focus on my Animation and, the important part,
The lighting and Atmosphere. Also we talked about how I will present
my work with my other skills and got new ideas how to make my shots.

Before this I had a talk with a teacher how had a look on my work, and
she had brilliant ideas for me how to make the shots in a way to give
a good feeling of everything.

Till next week I have to be done my storyboard and also done some renderings
of it, that means I have long nights and a "one day"-weekend.

Storyboard Changes

Well,
After I have done my test renders and trying around how to make the lighting this good as possible, I have realized that there is not really time to make the animation how I would like to have it. At the beginning I was talking about Nature reclaiming a Building. But if one plant-shot needs around 25-50sec. there is no way to make the reclaiming of all flours. This Wednesday I will have a Meeting with my Supervisor and talk about couple of subjects. First obviously about the storyboard. But then I have also to start now to think about the Folie and the Music. Because I need to know if
I will produce it or if I a friend, how is making his BA in Sound, can produce it for me.

This Weekend I will hopeful scan my first Storyboard and publish it for you.

Render Tests

I started now to take a look what difrence are making the rendering of Maya Software and Mental Ray.

Also I have just done some tests about Paint effects and polygons.
Basically after finishing setting up the animation of the Paint effect I transferred it to poly.
Then I have animated it once as Poly and once as Painteffect. to see the difference.

This one is rendered with Mental-ray.




This one is rendered with Mayasoftware,at the end the right one is a Painteffect and the left one is a Poly object.



For now on I think there is not really big difference what I will use but because there is no light in the scene, I am sure that there will be changes after this.
So I started now to make some tests with light and will again render once in mental ray and once and mayasoftware and decide what will be better.

The New World

So far, Is long time I didn't tell you what I have done, but I hope  you understand
if I say I had some problems with my teeth and had to operate my teeth root.

But anyway now is everything fine and in this time I have done a lot of stuff.

I started with creating my own brushes and starting with animating tests to see
how they look like.

I have done so far two preview render:

number one:



number two:





It was not this easy to give them the right shape, still now I'm thinking to make
small changes like for example give them something like bioluminescence and
hearth so to give them more the taste of being alive and real.

There are some frame renders of some designs.
