Screen Shots from Today

Today I didn't go to Uni and have spent the day working on Clouded.

I ended up making a paint brush as Avery is going to have to paint things...I now need to figure out how he is going to paint the paintings....I think i will do something similar to the way i did my titles last year.

Which leads me to SC2 the next mountain to climb. This is a really important scene as it establishes Avery and his attitude towards his world. This is also a scene where you see him at a lot of deferent angles...and thus he needs beards for all of these shots...so i decided to stop procrastinating and actually make his proper beards. Which means I am going to have to replace them in things like his Walk cycle and SC4...but I dont thi

nk it will be to hard.

So after finishing this post I will go replace the beards and then continue to hike up mountain SC2...as all those shots need beards and paint brushes too.

I played around with lighting this scene a little. I want it to feel warm like sunrise but cold due to the location of the environment. This might be a little green but I do like some of what it's bringing to the table. The sky also looks very dull without any clouds...but It's unavoidable due to the fact he has to paint them before there are clouds in the sky.

Speaking of clouds, I asked Jack about creating the chimney clouds in Maya...at the time I thought it would be okay but now i think about it more im thinking that maybe I should stick to something more 2D. Seamus had a few ideas so I will do some tests and report back.

I also added some turbulent displace to one of my drawn clouds and it looks pretty interesting... like jelly.
