Animatics

Hey hey hey! I have not been blogging because I have been busy with my interim 1 which is my animatics. The reviews were good. People laughed and I just had to redo the voice over because it is not as believable. Other than that it was good. I’m so happy!

Here’s my animatic and a turntable of my character. Enjoy!

Day 12

I went to school for the past few days just to do up my model. Had Mr Ronalds help with the side view of the girl as there huge problems with her head when I modeled it out. I'm happy that I managed to model the girls head out within 3hrs. I just need to add lines at the corner of both characters eyes and a edge flow around the mouth area. Well, these are my character models. Hands included. I did 2 different kinds of hair styles for the girl.

Please give comments!

Day 11 (Part 2)

Oh, new updates! I did the glasses, teeth and tried attaching the head to the body. I’ve yet to do the hand so hope it could be done fast. I need to do a few adjustments. This is just a test.

Day 11

I went to school at 10 to do the recording. I had to re-record it as the previous voices are not that convincing. So, I invited my friend over again to do the recording. I hope it sounds better now.

I took the afternoon off and just rest my eyes and got back to work during the night. I was so happy when I managed to guys head without any problems. I mean there was problem but then I solved it fast and get on with it. I hope its ok. I still need adjustments but then hey I’m proud of myself!

Day 10

Well, I went to school early today to get my lady’s head started and boy oh boy it’s not that easy. I have to like really plan it out. I got Wendy and Kez to help me out with the head and the body. I showed Alan my models and he said that its fine it’s just that I have to bend the arms and the palms need to face outward so that it’s more natural. The lady head still looks weird though but then it’s ok I think I might what to redo it.

Anyway, I still have animatics, find the sound, re-record the voice, texturing and rigging. Oh gosh so many things to do! I’m freaking out! Wish me luck man!

Day 09

I managed to model out the girl’s body within 3hrs. I’m so proud of myself. But then I had lots of problems with the guy. I could not get the body right, it is too square, the arms are too small, finding out a way to extrude the collar, legs just look so weird and last but not least it looks more like a women. So, I did some research and I mixed and max from my reference pictures that I have and slowly adjust my model. I had to redo it 3 – 4 times when I finally got it right. It’s hard work. I have yet to model the head though. So this is what I came up with so far and I hope it’s ok. Still have lots to do with the head and the hands.


Do leave comments! Oh oh..I’m still not done with her shoes.

Day 08

I went to school today to get my learning contract and contact sheet signed. I showed Alan my modeling and he said that I should not make the modeling too perfect as you know nothing in this world is perfect. He helped me with the texturing of the tree and the picnic mat. He said that certain things like the basket and the tree bark could be done in Zbrush. So Zbrush! HERE I COME! I want to finish all my modeling and texturing by next Wednesday so that could start on my animatics. Oh gosh, so many things to do. I’m freaking out!!!

Well, I have to get back to work. More updates soon!

Day 07

I woke up early to continue with my modeling and so far, I’m progressing. I’m not sure about the size of the objects but I will resize it when I place the characters in my scene. I’m really happy with the tree though. I am going for the simplified look as I could spend more time in animating and editing. Sound is really important in an animation. It plays a huge role but hey I’m going out the rest of the day I deserve it.

Day 06

Oh gosh! I have been busy with my other work and I didn’t have the time to do my FYP. I feel so stressed up. Anyway, I went to school early to get my 3D modeling done. I started by modeling the environment. Things like the cups, mat, basket and others. I spent the time searching for reference pictures in goggle. To my surprise, I got most of the picnic objects done and I’m happy with the results.

There was consultation with Alan today but all he wanted to see was our learning contract as we need to submit it this week. He approved mine and he asked me to send it to him so that he could print it and get it signed.

Other than that, I have to do my modeling fast so that I could get my texturing and rigging started. Time is running and so are the days. I will post my final environment when I’m done!

See ya!
