Rigged the spine, everything went fine, had one hickup where I added the controllers as bones in the skin, which baffled me for a while as I didn't realise I did it, but I sorted that pronto. Thought I would break away from the 360 degree view videos I have been putting up and instead rendered some clone loving. Enjoy.
I'm still not hitting much luck. I think I have a mental block today because I just cant knack this. This video is meant to show a liquid pouring into a cup, but the liquid in the scene isn't so 'liquidy', it's more of a sludge. On the possitive side of things, the cup is successfully filled, the liquid raises as more enters the cup, and has rotation, possibly too much though. I used blobmesh in this one, but it hasn't worked out too well, as the liquid is actually blobby, I think it could work if i just reduced some parametres. I used a vortex to create the rotation and a uDeflector once more, this time combined with a 'collision' value from the paricle view. The particle system used was PF Source.
Here's a few renders of a bit of my city scene at different lighting settings, I based it in London, varying it up by changing the time of year and day:
Should have uploaded these things a few days ago, unfortuantly the wireless device on my laptop has broken so it's been a bit of a delay. If any of you guys have vista and you download SP2 let me know if it breaks your wireless please? Cheers.
Here's the room that I modelled last tuesday in Simons session. As he requested I have put in a chair and a table, resting the train set from previous weeks on top of the table. The room is yet to be placed in a building from my city. I completed this last week after applying some textures, but havn't been able to upload the images due to Microsofts SP2 for Vista breaking my internet somehow. Anyway, hope you like:
And yet again blogger has decided not to let me upload photos, this time halfway through the bloody process. Here's links to the other two:
Here's the animation from Andy's seminar on Monday, few problems with this one. It's my animation but Andy's model from the NOW. My model has a problem with it I can't seem to figure out for the time being, whenever I try to animate it the knees spaz like mad, I've probably forgotten to link something. Anyway, here it is:
Here's the very first rendered images of the city I managed to get done during Simon's lecture. I have only created details on a few buildings, but I will add more over the next few days and then upload more detailed renders.
For the time being either Photobucket or Blogger is being a complete ass and wont let me input the images, so here's the links for now:
Here's the animation from Andy's seminar on Monday, just had to do a bit of tweaking before i uploaded it, i.e. textures to make it look pretty. I've tried to get the humor going as soon as possible so if you're easily offended by this, my apologies :D.
Heres what I managed to get done in Simon's seminar on tuesday. I never got the image for the train so I made it up as I went along. Hoping to create train tracks and an environment for at some point, no promises though. It looks prettier than it is as I used mentalRay and applied a glass texture to the entire train.
