Animation Finished!

Finally completed! There’s lots of things I feel I could improve but overall I am quite pleased with the outcome and feel I have learnt lots from this project.

Animation is coming together

I’m really pleased with how this is looking so far, it’s really coming together nicely. There are plenty improvements I could make but with my rig as terrible as it is, it’s so hard to animate!!

Wow I’ve blogged a lot today!

More development, going to alter the eye expressions next and decide on camera angles and work out which bits need to be improved and which bits are cut out of shot etc.

More Progress with Animation

This time I’ve done around 1 minute of the animation, plenty to go back and improve but I have the basic movements and am able to see which areas are in need of improvement.

Animation Progress…. Starting to add movement to the Character

Here is the progress I have made with my character animation so far. My rigging is so terrible that it makes moving my character extremely difficult! But I’m getting there and hopefully it won’t look too bad once it’s finished. Looking at the lip syncing now the body is moving I will probably have to alter some of that as well. I’ve rendered out a minute but have only actually worked on the first 20 seconds so the last bit he’s standing in the same position.

Airport is Complete!

I might make a few changes before submission but overall I am very pleased with how my airport has turned out.

First Stages of Animation… Lip Syncing!

I have been working on the lip syncing for my character before adding any other types of animation. Here is a video of the first stages of animation. I will probably end up working on the lip syncing a bit more at a later date but for now I think it looks fine. Now I will start working on the body movements and the facial expressions of my character in order to bring him to life.

Completed Tea Bag Man!

Here is my completely rigged and textured tea bag man. I’m pleased with how he has turned out as I had lots of problems rigging him up. Now onto animating!

Airport is finally coming together!

All my old posts are on my other blog tracking the progress as I have been working on it- http://sophie-magnante.blogspot.com/

I have added in lighting using a daylight system and omni’s for the inside of the buildings. I think I have achieved the airy and spacious feel I wanted to give my airport and the art works well throughout. A lot of the furniture is functional but also arty. I have ended up going for the theme of human bodies throughout the airport with many features representing a person and life drawing’s in frames throughout (these aren’t very clear at the moment but I have sorted the contrast so they will be clearer with my final render)  There are a few things left to change but the camera’s are all in place and ready to be rendered out very soon! Exciting!

Toilets

Here is the progress I have made with the toilets for my airport.

The toilet area is created within a half sphere building and has curtains as the entrance. I will be able to place this sphere in any section of the building and have exactly the same bathrooms throughout.

To keep the same feel throughout the whole building the hands and feet are present on this chair and table.

I have started to apply textures the this area to see what it looks like and then once it looks good I can have a complete area and move onto the next rather than several incomplete areas.
