OMG! Look at the Cloak!
There are three hard camera matcing shots in the CG short. The ne you are about to see is the easiest but has to look perfect because of the whole walking downstairs thing, the fact it’s a full body shot, and the cloak drag cross the stairs. It’s a rough key just to see if he matches, I’ll post an update in a day or two.
Marvel in the cloak.
starting to shape up
Posting test footage isn’t something you should, but I think that’s all I’ve been doing as far as the DnD shortfilm goes. It’s not done, but things are starting to shape up. here is the latest composite with a rough draft of some fire effects. When I get a couple of hours I’ll make the fire ball actually effect the ligting of the subjects and make the firball more detailed. Oh yeah, the candles have to have flames – that’s th epoint the scene.
so here it is. feel free to compare it to earlier posts of the same shot.
a little pan through
I recently, for the 7th time molded a churchish building for the tentatively titled “a really bad DnD shortfilm.” Everytime I model this thing I learn more. More about level of detail, where to spend the polygons, quick ways of building things, yadda yadda.
Of course, the lighting and texturing has gotten better and faster.
I made this animation test in my spare time last week and thought I’d post it for class since I’ve been working overtime to meet a deadline at work and couldn’t make it.
I need to remove out all the patterning and repetition, add more details to the corners and stairs and add more interest in the lighting. I’ll probably finish that this week sometime, so expect and update next Monday.
here it is – most likely too dark on a windows machine -

I have a rough test that I’ve made to get a feel for the amount of work / quality ratio to finish this bad shortfilm Some friends were generous enough to help me make. Read the rest of this entry »
