3DArtZ Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I have not created, lit a scene in I don't know how long.... 3 years maybe.... If I ever want to put a little movie together, I'm gonna have to figure it out huh? Anyhows, going for a cartoonish end of day in a metropolis office look Let me know what ya think:) http://www.vrcops.com/vids/PPRender3C.mov Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevernameless Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 The lighting of the room looks great. I like the reflection on the characters costume. The only thing is the background, outside the window it looks like it was just painted there. The whole inside of the room looks great though. I'm sure you wanted us to focus on the lighting, but the finger point is really fast. It jumps. When he goes back to the standing position its nice and smooth though. overall the lighting looks beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DArtZ Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Hey FN, thanks for checking it out! And the words too! Appreciate it. I think that I've just started a long trial and error journey hunting down a good look for this type of characters world.... Hope it doesn't take too long to find something that works. Thanks Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentothemax Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 looks good. You used Z buffered shadows right? . . . one crit is that the sun looks like its dieing kind of . . . not very round . . . but it could be interacting with the clouds and atmosphereic density and other things like that . . . Good job though . . . Ben P.S. it looks like your wall with your window is floating a tad bit . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the floating thing... it's a problem with the Zbuffer shadows and the wall geometry being 1 sided. I think if I make is 2 sided it will solve the problem - to be tested. Yeah, the sky was a quick photoshop map... just to get things moving along:) Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3DArtZ Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Hey Jason, thanks for checking it out, and the comments too. Here's a clip I put together with the scene. Animated it in about 20min. and probably won't do anything with it, as I just wanted to see what I could get done in the time frame. there are a mistakes abound, some blatant - hand through objects and such... But, was fun making it. Take a look! http://www.vrcops.com/vids/DeskTossA.mov Thanks Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalemation Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I took a look! For 20 minutes that's impressive He almost seems a little embarrassed as he looks to camera after his outburst. Funny. He's a great character. I didn't notice until now just how long his arms are! Obviously he has considerable strength - what are his superhero powers?

KenH Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Excellent Mike. To me the fall looks like a jump. I would suggest just his upper body leaning forward and maybe one leg stretched backwards trying to regain balance. His hips also seem to go down just before he falls which probably makes it seem more jump like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DArtZ Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 Ken, (edit) I have had a few comments about the "fall/jump" impression. I wonder if keeping the legs perfectly straight throughout the clip would fix this? Well to be seen.... Thanks for the comments appreciate it!

vf124 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Mike, Your Bulidings sit on a clear background or layer ... was this done in PhotoShop? Also, your two cameras appear to be lined up with each other ... why? Thanks ... G. Wells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means nothing, I'm not really sure why it's in there... I used photoshop for the building layer like you said.

entity Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Sorry, got here late... it seems he should start falling before the right arm goes forward. It's a tough nut to crack, but I think it would promote the unstable balance of falling a little better. He almost seems to be yanked out.

3DArtZ Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 Hey Entity, thanks for taking a look! I'm actually not coming back to this clip. I want to just keep making little clips like this, but not languish over the (in this case) many issues. I want to see progress happen over different gags!
