Animation 2 - 2013. Been sick.

Been sick abatnz fans. Fucking sick. That is all.
Haven't had much time to work on this over the past week, but I have added the walkway above and a cup on the table. Still want to get a chair done and minor bits and pieces and then should be ready for some texturing and painting. Looking forward to that.

Pretty happy with the camera move too, but will have to jiggle it up a bit.

Current listening to Vomitory - Opus Mortis VIII and Grave's new ep Morbid Ascent

Animation 2 - 2013. Fucking rain.

Nearly a year since I've got my shit together to write on here, so here we go again.

Animation 2
Maya Environment

Despite some trepidation (ie didn't know what the fuck I was doing) I kinda liking Maya more and more. It's one of those things - TIME, TIME AND MORE TIME.

A couple of weeks into the Semester and its time to post the first screen grabs of the environment I've created so far. A deserted, decayed factory somewhere in time. The camera pass and animation will finish out at about 15 seconds, so not long to tell a story.

These screens are just the model, no texturing or shading etc done yet. Miles to go. Just added the one light and a little bit of ambient. Still mucking around with that, but now I've basically got the camera pass sorted I can now spend plenty of time detailing what's in shot.

Nice.

Also, the new Autopsy album The Headless Ritual fucking rocks.
