21/04/14 Nearly There!

Been a bit bogged down doing miscellaneous work for the last weeks of the film. All the corpses are built and textured a posed. The last remaining textures are sorted and almost all the scenes are set and ready to render. 

Think there are about 4 or 5 scenes still being animated. Looks like we are going to make it!

I didn't manage to re-texture all the town buildings from our trailer project in 3rd year - as a work around we decided to render them out as best we can then paint into them as matte paintings - it meant changing a few shots so that the camera was still but it was an acceptable compromise for the better quality we will have in the end. 

Here are some renders and matte paintings.

With the mattes, extra detail was painted in on top of rendered layer passes for the direct and fill lights and AO passes. I was able to keep it fairly minimal for most so far because Scott blurs them all to hell anyway.

Gary and I have been putting together a pitch for Dare Dundee this summer. It was something we wanted to do since coming up here but last summer wasn't going to work for various reasons so with Uni winding up next month we decided to take a go shot this year. 

Here are some of the character concepts I've been doing in between film and uni work.

I also made some mock illustrations of what the game might look like, a logo and an animatics showing roughly how our game will play.
