random stuff

Some rough animation tests, just to test my rigs out really, both rig and animation still need work :P

Also my Pre-vis as it stood today.

At about 1:10 when h does a magic floating back roll thing that looks retarded, he will roll backwards into a handstand and flip over onto his feet. i was just far too lazy, and my weights are far form done on that character.

opening Pre-Vis Shot

quick look at my basic previs for my opening shot, the shadowy bit im unsure about still, but if i go with that idea, the shadows you see will be shown 1 at a time with the main Fighter and killed accordingly.

Been playing about in pred for my viva, heres the sort of thing i want to focus down onto for my opening shot, He will look angrier, i just havent done my blend shapes yet cos im a slacker!
Oh, if this is dark let me know, on my pc it looks perfect (in my eyes) but it may be too dark

Still considering putting an island in the background that shows the village that the fight takes place in later, to give some sort of reason as to why hes over looking the sea... other than the fact hes angry :P

Just 2 quick renders of roughly where the 2 characters are at, not final textures yet, and still need to finish weight painting, etc etc etc

No idea why hes suddenly developed a Afro, ill fix it soon, just a quick test to see how they look in the scene etc

quick update on my first character

still early in work, needs details and textures. but here it is so far.

Quick update.....

After my Stage 1 presentation i realised the temple was out of focus most the time, so ive re-arranged slightly, this is the new opening shot and hopefully if itll work the main sort of angle the shots will be taken from, bring the temple back into the shot more

Stage 1 pres....
