Collaboration - Textures and Backgrounds

For our collaboration project I had to create the character textures and some of the backgrounds.

Here are the character textures and their previews, Several of these ended up unused in the final result.

And here's the backgrounds for few of the skits. The outside one ended up unused.

Modelling 1: Digital Sets - Finished Farm Scene

And here's the whole scene, fully textured, rendered and composited

The textures:

Modelling 1: Digital Sets - Farm Scene and Modeled Objects

Following the tutorials, I've modeled and UV mapped all the objects that needed to be modeled, which were the chicken coop, barn and fence, I've set up the scene and camera aswell as blocked in basic colors.

Next i'm going to create the textures for some of the parts on the UV's I've outlaid.

Modelling 1: Digital Sets - Chicken Coop 1

Here's my first progress for the digital sets tutorials. Modelled some of the basic components of the chicken coop

Toolkit 2: Finished Lego Car

Here's the finished lego car properly rendered, lighted, and composited

Toolkit 2: Shading, Rigging and Animation

The lego car continues to come to life!

Here's the car shaded!

Then rigged the rotation and made the wheels rotate with translation on the Z axis, then animated.

Toolkit 2: Drama Poses

Second go at posing Moom we had to focus on drama poses, which are more nuanced.

I don't believe I broke any this time, though they could use more liveliness or work in portraying the emotions or tension!

Toolkit 2: Modelling

Or in other words, Toolkit 2 - beginners edition.

Because of my inexperience with Maya, I was provided with a different set of tutorials than the rest of the year 2 students, to get a grasp for the program and everything.
So here's my first model, following the Intro to Autodesk Maya modelling tutorial:

Toolkit 2: Action Poses

We were assigned to try out the Moom model we'll have to use this term, by choosing 5 action poses and posing Moom as similarly as possible. And then rate whether he lives or not...

This being my first time actually handling Maya, I'm fairly happy with my results, though I feel they could definitely be pushed forward more in their dynamics!

1. First choice of photo, not so great, and i hadn't yet figured out the nuances of the fingers, so in result, some broke!

2.

 3. I'm a fan of the bounciness in Keanu's run, good reference subject

5. Very bendy pose

...ALMOST made it out without injury. Almost.

A fun exercise, I learned that posing isn't too hard. But good posing sure is!
