Thesis Full Playblast!

So here's the rough cut of my thesis film! It's taken forever, but I finally feel like I'm nearing the end!

First Rendered Scene!

This is just a render test, I still have some animation to tweek, but it'll give everyone an idea of what the finished film will look like and I have to say I'm pretty darn pleased!

HUGE Update!!

Well all the time I've spent pushing the darn rock up the hill has now Paid off as I find myself Sprinting after it on the downhill side!!

I got my rig in an ready to animate (Thank you Cheryl!!)
And the awesome Jeremy Vickery Gave me some Wonderful Lighting tips!
And then I Threw a texture on our boy model and Voila!

We're ready to roll!

ooOOOoooo Aaaaaahhhh

Here's the Textured version of my tricycle! :D

Zombie Character

Here's some of the blendshapes I worked on for my character
(Blenshapes are basically the expressions the character will use in the film and can be turned on and off)

Here's a preview of things I've modeled for the thesis so far! Some are colored, some not. Basically these are some of the 'additions' that the boys are going to be loading up their bikes!

Animatic!

I finally have my animatic for the film finished and I'm pretty happy with it!

PLEASE NOTE:
~An Animatic is like a rough draft. Being such, it's very limited animation, the colors/textures are not correct, and the model isn't quite finished.

~The boys heads will not be different colors, the 'blond' one will actually have different hair and a different outfit.

~Obviously since the Character/rig is not finished there are no real facial expressions, that will change.

~Hopefully even though it's rough, the idea of the story will show through.

Enjoy!
