Impatient Render

I've been working on modeling this head in modo like forever, got impatient and needed to do something somewhat creative with it as well as continue to test and learn the mental ray renderer. Still a lot of problems to work out, but I'm satisfied with the progress I am making..maybe.

PreVisualization Animatic

I'm not nearly as comfortable displaying this stuff as some of the other work I've posted recently. This is an animatic and screenshots from the animatic that lays broad strokes and begins to give an idea of what the pacing of the trailer will "feel" like. Missing are the cut away shots showing the closer look at the four armies approaching RA. I'll be posting a story synopsis for the trailer shortly.

That Didn't work out too well...

Ok, well I'm going to add some more things, including animation clips. You'll have to email me at butch.arrington@nyu.edu to aquire the username and password for the animations.(sorry, no way around that just yet.)

The depth of Field effect, which theoretically blurs everything in front of and behind the subject of the image, can really only be seen in these larger renderings, it is pretty important to the readability of the scene, it begins to emulate a style connected to film and gives a "More real feel" to the whole thing. It's hard to explain, but hopefully you'll be be able to see what I mean from the images.

Image Plowing into My Sidebar again...

I'm posting these images and journal entry to try to tidy up my Blog a bit and get that image from clashing. Essentially, this is a model that I already posted earlier, without some modifications and a completely different surface material. I'm posting both images, because I used it for a class assignement to combine CG materials with Real world footage. Let me know what think about the image in general and try to compare the two images.

Thanks,
Butch




My personal favorite.




Probably the better one.

Brief update!

Long time no post here's a brief update: A test animation for this character is finished, I just have to find somewhere to store it so I can post it here and my overall story animatic; which are all coming soon.

Here's a test render of the centurion character with an altered color scheme, that changed for an event for the DeviantART "Yellow Day" events. Blue, red, and reflective white will be the color scheme in my thesis.
