*regains composure*
Well it seems like its been a long time since I posted anything. It has, I've had some personal issues regarding stuff and its still not 100% yet. BUT the good news is after getting over the majority its now nothing that will affect my workflow (though some blogs may be early/late)
Now back on track.
As my previous blog detailed, I have done a mini timeline of what needs to be completed by when, Its not completed yet as I need to sort out the scenes and how they're going to be animated.
The original idea was to create a virtual environment for the robot to be animated in. Although I wanted to create a detailed scene for each section I was advised to stick with simple visual aides. I ended up making one large scene with simple scenery as well as positioning various cameras for each scene.

The scene where the robot leaves the room. The trees and bushes are cloned all the way down to give a sense of speed for the walking scenes. |

So for this week I set myself the UI screens as a tasklist. After experimenting with some chroma keying in Vegas I realized that i was creating more work than necessary for myself as instead I could just make a text layer in Sony Vegas that I could animate and add effects overtop to get a better feel for what I wanted.
Well this counts for the 2 weeks progress, Christmas updates will be as regular as I can make them!
So stay safe folks and have a Merry Christmas!
Hi Jack
ReplyDeleteI just wrote a lengthy message here but when I went to post it the darned thing didnt appear!Dont worry I wont blame you :)
But basically I just want to know if you can give me a brief overview or recap of what you are planning to achieve with the final version of your animation.
I am aware of the idea behind it, but want to know where the scene render you have posted sits in the grand scheme of things. For example is it just placeholder art? Or are you going to just focus on the robot animations and only have token background scenery? Will there be a final polished version rendered in Max with proper lighting etc?
Thanks
Mike
