Environment

So I decided to model basic shapes for environment. The reason why I am doing it now is to have overall idea of the interior, where will be all the models located etc. so I can play with the camera a little bit more. So instead of drawing everything from my imagination for animatic I am going to use basic model of environment and cg cameras in maya as a guidline for my planning. So basically here's what I did today, simple render with ambient occlusion.

While I am waiting for my e-crit

Hey guys,
still waiting for my e-crit. I drew a little bit, more box forms and some drawings after preston blair. I also did research some lighting techniques from gnomonology, because I am planning to use them for my short film and additional commercial project that I am going to do (basically it's the interior visualisation, I can't tell anything more). Anyway, here are some drawings, lighting test I will post tomorrow.

Class 5

Yeah yeah, I know. I did promise to update my blog and then completely forgot about that. Anyway. Class4 is done, well not completely, still have to finish my multiple character assignment, that's why it is still not in my progress reel. I will try to work on it during class5. Frankly I started to hate those shots somewhere in the middle of the process, but I will return to them, that's for sure. Anyway, it is class5, time to think about my short film. This is the final test, this is going to be that piece of animation that is supposed to give me the job in the dream studio, so there are no jokes now :). I have few ideas already, thing is to make them doable. Anyway, today I had a q&a with Matt Russel. He is my new mentor. I must say he is very energetic guy, kinda similar to Cassidy Curtis which is GREAT! I think he is going to be fantastic mentor. Here are some pictures from the q&a with new and old friends on them.
