Sub surface scatter tests

Some tests with subsurface scatter and hair on my woman character

A few new shots

Been working steadily on some of the main environment, and did a few new hair tests. Have a look:

HR Lady Hair tests

So, i've been having some trouble modelling hair. I've gone through 3 different styles of poly hair, but none of them have come out very well.

Initially, i had disregarded the idea of using a hair modifier as it would take up too much rendering time, i had another look into it. In order to keep render time short i'm looking at using bigger strands of hair. Need to work out how to make the shadows work.

Animatic

This is the animatic for the whole animation.

HR lady preview render

Not posted in a while, but been really busy. This is the crazy HR lady from my anim, she still needs some minor model changes, and texturing.

Animatic second draft coming soon.

This is a little animatic of a piece i've been storyboarding. It was going to be the first part of my animation, but i've since decided to cut the tramp and this section from the piece completely. However, i thought i'd post it here for fun.

Here are some basic hair tests i did, mainly for fun, and just to experiment. Although i like them, they sorta kill rendertime if i want to make it look good, and i'm not sure they entirely suit the style i'm going for.

This is my character after some slight edits, moving the legs apart, and making the hands smaller and chubbier

Here are some designs of the tramp character, as well as the redesign of the main character. I'm just in the process of re-modelling his head now.

Ok, here is the quick render and last page of concepts

Some designs

Here be some designs i've gone through while looking for a style for my animation, as well as another quick render

Quick little test render on my fat dude.

Not nearly done, just a 1st pass on the body, still need to add detail. May remodel the head to try out a different style.

Promotion animation project

I hereby declare this project OPEN!

Gonna start working on my project a little bit every night from now on. Here is a plasticine model i made yesterday afternoon. It's not particularly great, but it has helped me get a quick feel for his proportions. Gonna model him in max now. I'll keep you posted
