Office Scene with Props

Improvements to the Daydreamer

To be ready for New Designers, improvements are being made to the animation. So I've started remodeling the office scene as well as fixing the walk cycle, there's much more to come.

Teaser Clip for The Daydreamer

Just a quick teaser clip for the animation, as it is nearing it's completion, but the landscape reminds me of a certain film.

The Daydreamer- work update

This is the intro of the animation as well as a clip of the train scene, both these show how the animation will look.
As you can see, i've tried to keep the same look as my concept art.

Concept art for the Office, I was trying to create a sense of emptiness and entrapment with these large open offices with the character in the center of the frame.

Models for the street scenes, today the textures will be painted and projected on the models.

In the animation there are few background characters, this Traffic-light giraffe is one of them. All of them are a hybridisation of elements seen in streets, such as a traffic light, lamp post and a postbox.

character re-texture

The textures for the character needed to be more refined, so instead of the original surface shaders that I used before, I've replaced them with lamberts so that the character can react with the lights in the scene.

Texturing Progress

This is the train set, so i've began to texture the inside and outside with lamberts, as they will have to react with a light source which shines through the windows to give a sense of movement. Although I might test it with a toon shader.

The Daydreamer- Train Modelling

The Daydreamer- Dream world Sketches

These are some of the ideas I've had for the composition of the landscapes, this is mainly of the desert like scene.

Street Scene test Complete

Now that I have the basics for projection mapping, I can now begin creating the rest of the scenes.

Background Character_ Daydreamer

Stork Fbx by Sam Cannon on Sketchfab

In a lot of the paintings I have included birds in the backgrounds, so rather than just paint it I thought I would include this model with a simple flying animation. To keep the daydream appearance, I included elements of lampposts seen in London, which give another element if I used a night scene.

Environment Projection Mapping tests

These are a couple of tests of using the Projection Mapping in Maya. This will allow me to animate in a 3D environment while keeping the concept art aspect. The technique is great to use, but the only issue i'm having is that when I render the scene, it comes out warped and deformed, even though it isn't in the shot cam.

Renders

Due to the turnarounds not finish renderring, so I used these temporary renders until later this week, that i will be able to upload the turnaround.
