Day 69: Hehe 69

Today I worked on the scene. fixed up a few textures and arranged things so they framed better. just a bunch of tinkering basicly.

Day 68: Pose correction.

Today I worked on fixing an issue with Character 2 pose. Edited the fingers and some other malformations in the mesh. Took me ages.

Day 67: Grrrrr!

Today I spent the whole time trying to get a high-rez version of character 2 to have the same expression as in the low poly one but have the new sculpt from mudbox instead of using normal maps. Finally got it done and ready to be posed.

Day 66: Maps.

Today I worked on some hair tests and working on fixing displacement maps.

Day 65: Raining

Did some tests on rain and clouds.

Day 64: Hair and water.

 Today I added some objects to my midground scene. I also did some rain/water tests etc. I am going to be working on water/rain and hair over the weekend.

Day 63: Background problems.

Backgrounds are still really large. Will have to edit them a bit more. Basically today I worked on making sure my files were in order.

Day 62: Separation Issues.

So my maya file was being real slow with all the background trees. I decided to fix this by separating the file into 4 files. 3 backgrounds and 1 main file. Everything will be lit the same and composited together later on.

Day 61: Green Fingers.

SO MANY TREES! Today I had to import and retexture the trees from speedtree software;. took ages to work out and fix a wind problem also :P but i think its sorted now. Just got to do a bit more prep before final texturing begins and shading/lighting/rendering etc.

Day 60: Set up.

Today I spent ages working on setting things up for the final shot.

Day 59: Strike a Pose.

Today I worked on posing my characters. Getting them rigged and skinned (Via Maxamo)

I then posed them. Working on blendshapes too.

Day 58: Rubble...

Today I did some more buildings, made a broken and collapsed one and a tall sky scraper with damage. Also did a test with clouds. Made some concrete. And unwrapped everything and arranged the Bike.

Day 57: Cloudy with a chance of Buildings.

Today I worked on making buildings. I also made a background for the scene (night sky with moon) and played with some dynamic clouds.  I want to make the scene bright but also rainy and wet. Been looking into options for that.

Day 56: Brick by Brick.

Today I worked on more of the environment. Making more trees and log and stuff. Also made some bricks and stones/pebbles/rocks etc. Was a good productive day.
