Jetpack Jones: Cleaning Up the Scene




After looking over some of my files after finishing this process, I fell that I can move forward onto the texturing, but need to get a few things checked over to be sure. One of the issues I am having is regarding the full body moment using the control key at the bottom, as whenever I move with the blend-shapes for the cap, brows and strap on, they separate from the rest of the body, but I need them to be on to have the face move properly when I use the brows, so I am going to do some investigation to figure it out, but apart from that I feel confident enough to finally progress onto texturing.

Edit Note: I discussed the issues and found that the problem was that when creating the blend shape it had to be under the skin-cluster node, and then I had to switch off the inherit transforms on the Geo group and the Misc group in the Do Not Touch Folder.

What if Metropolis Thumbnails 09: Building Design Progression 3: Hero Prop

For this set of thumbnails I decided to look at the redesigns for the Opera, as I didn't like the ones that  I had originally composed in my first OGR. I decided to concentrate on structure, as well as the door design, but unlike the buildings, I had an idea of what door I liked, but I wanted it to look instead at a design that could appear to make the building more professional. Looking at the buildings in comparison, I like how the Opera does contains sharp and smooth elements from the individual building, while also standing out on its own, but like the others I will alter a few things from this design before constructing my final designs. I want to concentrate on colour for this building, along with the rest to try and continue the continuity between them.

Moom Platform: Blocking Removed and Graph Editor Improvements

Image
For this lesson we had to think about timing and had to try and a-just the animation to the characters movements by removing the blocking and trying to line up the time with the movement and the expressions. I found this lesson quite easy especially since I feel I am now more used to blocking and animating using that technique, however I am still not, I feel as comfortable with using the graph editor, but In the second video I think my attempt to try it on the hip CTRL worked well, and although I still feel like the animation needs some more cleaning, I think it's turning out rather well.
