My Year assignment in the class of 3D animation year 2011-2012. I did everything except sound and music.

Music by: Marius Dille Tufte
Sound fx by: Jon Erik Josephsen

Thanks to the teachers, friends […]

Side view:

The black box “monster” and surroundings are still dummy objects 

just a little sketch i did for Otto’s group for fun. Seems they want to go for it.

It’s a new year and new opportunities. But, it doesn’t make it easier to decide the plot and characters that will be almost unchangeable throughout the whole year.

I’ve been thinking allot and drew many […]

Just a quick update: Testing background.
and a quick error checking turntable: ( I think I want to render the background and trees for themselves, so I can adjust the speed if they move to fast in the finished overall slower version too) Plus gotta make sure the trees don’t intercept with the camera.

As I feared the 1280×720 resolution render took a great deal more time than I wished, as you can see on the comments on the pictures. The main render increased with 54 minutes. Making it render in 1 hour and 11 minutes, which is too much for a turntable that have to be finished before the [...]

Not much new, but been messing with small adjustments. And added some grass.

Fixed some issues, but still some stuff to do 

My first 720 test! Things I gotta fix tho: – Reduce gloss/reflection/roughness map on areas such as ear and hands. – A little too much “goosebumps” on the legs/body. – Fix the ground. (its too noisy right now) – Fix grass (fur/paint FX(?)) – Lower upper eyelid (?) – sand on the feet (?) – [...]

Still testing with the shaders. Oh, and I made a butterfly on Saturday! The ground also had to have displacement cause of the angle, but I’m satisfied with the result of the ground. As for the light/shaders. I’m probably going to next try getting something in between. I don’t want the light part to burn [...]

Posing test  Got to rig, do some basic skinning and test a bit of ncloth on the girl. This is how things look like right now:  One of the pictures were so lucky of getting 2 blend shapes on; one that shrunk the feet a bit, and a smile blend-shape. still doesn’t feel natural though. [...]

So much better with some textures..
My plan forward is to rig it as fast as possible for posing, then  cloth simulate into position. And probably tweak alot after thats done. Gotta get time to make the grass enviroment too.

Ah, forgot to update the blog: Here are some test renders when I tried  testing out a bit on the shaders for the skin a bit. I lost a lot of time testing and changing to linear workflow (gamma correcting everything) so the outcome of the assignment will probably not be as good as I hoped. [...]

I have been working on some texture for the eyes testing of the clear part of the eye with materials and some SSS shader for the skin. Still not there yet, but at least it looks like something soon presentable ( BTW: phong shader on the clear part on the eye on the left and [...]

Okay,  here’s the next update:
Currently working on the cothing, but fixed a bit in the face and the rest of the body.

An update on the project: (including a test pose);

The assignment is pretty open, you can practically do whatever you want, as long as it has something to do with 3D. I figured to expand my portfolio further, that I should skip making a creature or something in the fantasy genre, since I already had made something along that road earlier. Gathering up allot of reference [...]
