Clothes to Model - references

Moe has given me a task to model some clothes for the adult women that will be animated and walking around. These are the references of the clothes that he wants.

Improvements to the Backgrounds

Darryl sent me an email last night that the set walls needed to be extended upwards and some sort of girders above the set to hold the 'floating lights'. The problem with the girders are its unwanted shadows. Their shadows will be casted onto the set causing problems. BUT this can be ruled out as in render options you can turn off its shadows.

Here's the results.

Finalised truck

This is the final look of the truck. I have added a simple dark red vynal along the sides and textured the wheels. Moe has rigged the car wheels as you can see the non renderble lines. The reason for the dark red colour chosen is that the colour represents anger, leadership and wrath. Which works for the terrorists in the film.

Onto Texturing the Truck

With the changes made. These are the first look of the truck being textured. I have done the underside of the car incase of the truck being turned over. I hand painted everything based on the pictures of the car.

To give the truck the stylist look the film is going to be I tried filters like cutout onto the textures I made. It removed quite alot of detail so I changed it.

The changes were changing the filter to dry brush and manually adjusting the setting to the style I want.

Early Modeled Truck

These are screenshots of the truck while I was working on the modeling. I have added side mirrors as all vechcles have it. The side mirrors were not present in the blueprints for me to work from but then I modelled them by eye from image references.

However Moe have told me the mirrors were not needed as they were often broken off in Somalia.

Terrorist Truck References

Before I start modeling I need to see references of the truck. This will help me on visualising the general look of the vehicle figuring out where curves occur and then planning the process of modeling.

Terrorist Truck

Moe have given me a job to model the terrorist truck that will be animated throughout the film. He sent me a blue print of the truck to be modeled. It was based on a Toyota Hilux manufactured before 1995. I was told to keep the model low poly also doors and windows are kept attached to the model. Therefore, instead of modeling in the details it will be drawn onto the texture.

Gone Bananas!

Darryl requested that he needed a banana modelled. First a one peeled half way and Second squashed.

Background Mosque tower

This is a close up of the mosque tower that will be in the background of the film. It is in low polys and lack textures. I have used shaders for this building as the details will not be shown where it is positioned. I have given a hint of blue to the building which reflects the night scene. It may be shown as a silhouette in the end.

New neighbors!

Final Tweaks for presentation!

Should be the finished product. Darryl wanted a Banjo in the room and I did a quick model of one and created a swordfish for the wall.

Almost there

Its almost done. I have re-lit the environment without making too many specular shades. So far flat toony look. also I changed the walls to wood for more of a hill billy cabin look.

Background colouring!

Background Style

Right with the backgrounds Darryl wanted a look that is similar to the Hanna Barbara cartoons and I noticed that The Jetsons the Movie had some 3D elements with their 2D animation. Therefore im going to try and imitate their style.

Quick Tutorial - Modeling a Column

This is a quick tutorial I created with the very basics of modeling. The column will be in the Professor's room by the door.

The Professor's Comfort Room

This is the progress so far for my part of the scene. It is a part of the stage where the professor enters into his homely area. What I wanted to recreate in the room is the art gallery feel or a library to set. A quiet peaceful area by comparision to the other side of the set. It would bring an insight to the professor itself.

I will need to add more furniture to the set.

The beginnings of the set

This is the set which I modelled for the final environment. I based it on the block out with the changes that Darryl needed to it. After this Elisha will have a copy of this and she will model the dentist side and I will have the professors homely side. The audience seats will be done by Elisha.
