They're Alive!!!

Turn Arounds All Rendered

Screen Shots

While working on Eira I've been taking screen shots of my progress as well as screen shots of some of the bizarre things that have happened to me while battling AutoDesk Maya 2010 and 2011. So here they are for you enjoyment :D

*A weird thing that happened during my rigging. It would only show the face like this from this angle, and if i looked at it from her right side it turned black. I fixed the problem but actually liked how it looks from this side.*

UnPainted Joint Weigths

This was me trying to move her bangs. Weights need to be painted lol.

TLV Turn Eira

Meet Eira! She has been such a headache to get to this point and there is still more work to be done on her, but I have learned sooo much. She is currently rigged with only a few areas that need joint weight painting, and I want to go back and fix some of her face blend shapes before I start doing animation tests.

I also want to nail down how the guys at http://salesmanbuck.com/ got their characters to have a very 2D look. I believe its mainly just having an incandescent map set up or just turning it up to a desired level, But I don't know too much about rendering and composting when working with 3D. I need a crash course in it.

Anyway more to come later, but in the meanwhile Have a Happy New Year!
