A test-render of our servant character. Just to see how the materials are doing. The only thing remaining is to tweak the SSS-shader and get some texturemaps on his face.

The rig for the king and the servant is complete.

I’ve tried to keep the rigs as clean as possible, without too many features we don’t need.

Rig features:
Torso/Spine:
- Possibility to turn on/off stretch […]

We have a scene in our short where about a thousand arrows will be shot through the air. Hand-animation is out of the question, so we’ve discussed different way’s of approaching this, for example particles. […]

I’m more or less finished the trees. They will for the most part be put on planes as a texture since the polycount is pretty big. I’ve put the leaves on the tree with the Maya’s PaintScriptsTool, maybe not the […]

I put together a mini-breakdown of shot 04 from the short, showing the assembly-process of the scene. This is not the final render, it just the beautypass.

For the last couple of days I’ve been playing around with Maya’s fluid-effects to create some smoke and dust. I used particles to emit the fluids, which is a new feature in Maya 2011 that allow for much better […]

Finally managed to put together a turntable of the final king-model.

I started modelling the tower a few days ago, the progress has been painfully slow so far… Just thinking about style and placement…baaaahh.
Anyways, here’s a occlusion render of the model so far…

I’ve continued working on some different models and also finished up the Carriage quite a bit. Take a look
