More work on the matte painting for Gruffleglenn.

 

Test Animation - Apple Dumplings

An animation test featuring the alchemist asking Gruff about apple dumplings. The animation created using the calimari rig of the character. As yet we do not have a facial rig animation ready The sound is from Disneys Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Gruffleglenn WIP 01

A quick and dirty test showing the progress on the matte painting for the exterior of the Alcoholemist. There is copious amounts of texture stretching, geometry not lining up and general dodginess. In other words NOT FINAL.

Alcoholemist Animation Test 4: WalkCycle

An animation test, featuring the alchemist walking with a jar of fireflies at dusk.

Squidly Animation Tests

Some test animation of Squidly doing both a swim cycle and a bouncing cylce.

Texturing Progress and Gruffleglenn

Here are some texturing WIPs for the Alchemists room courtesy of Brian and his first concept for the town of Gruffleglenn.

Alcoholemist Room Lighting WIP 01

And finally the Alchemists room lighting / comping WIP. For some strange reason the last third or so of the video is black. That shall be rectified soon.

Two WIP Animations of the Alchemist.

1: the hustle, currently missing the music he dances to.

2: the alchemist picks up a bottle containing squidly, and shakes it vigorously. this is still in a WIP stage, nd has not been completely rendered.

All animation was done using early versions of the calimari rig.

Some Rigging and Animating Goodies

Some new videos up, the first is the hustle as performed by the Alchemist. The second two demonstrate the character rigs and what they are capable of. We will be using a system like qualoth or ncloth in order to simulate the clothing.

Compositing / Render Pass Pipeline

Here is a picture depicting our possible render pass pipeline.

 

They combine together in Nuke to make the 'final' image that looks something like this. (image coming Monday morning)

Pub Lighting WIP 01

A little bit more work on the pub lighting with some minor compositing. Also, the character Gruff thrown in for scale. There are no textures as of yet, just a brownish uv grid.

Lighting Tests

Here are some WIP lighting tests that we are doing. For the most part, the sets are untextured with a placeholder uv grid in place.
