JetPack Jones: Lateral Mouth Movement Part 1
































Finished the first part of lateral face movements, which involved adjusting the second rigged face of the model to make different mouth expressions on different halves of its face. I found this a bit difficult because of the shape of my characters face, and the fact that I have two mouth controls for the corner, so I had to try and disperse the weight and smoothing appropriately without breaking the face of the model. But I think I have done a good job so far, and I am happy with the way the expressions have turned out.

Sound Experiment 04

 Today I decided to record some more natural sounds, this time seeing how the sound of wind would sound through a window before I recorded it outside, as I think the slight whistling noise through the window would make it sound more interesting, I am planning on collecting more natural sounds, but I wanted to see how it would sound before I progressed onwards in case the background noise was too much in comparison to the wind and ruined it.  For the second sound for my second image, I wanted to continue to find something more sharper so I tried to record the sound of cactus spikes, particularly if I ran my fingers through it, as it makes a very sharp, high pitched sound that I think could work better, especially if I could replicate the sound to reflect the more smaller portions of the image.  Lastly I wanted to try and collect a more electronic sound for image one, to match its sharp, electric colours so I wanted to start by recording a microwave, as I thought is humming noi

What if Metropolis Thumbnails 14: Concept Art (Line Art) and Thumbnails

Image
In creating my Concept art I am deciding to be a little more cautious with my designs, and I would appreciate some feedback regarding the design and also the layout. The issues that I have stumbled on are regarding how to fit all my objects in, such as the Opera, of which I want to be more of a centre piece of the village, as so has to be bigger than the other buildings, as well as the smaller objects like the signs and the bench. I drew up the first line art, but realised that I wouldn't be able to add in the Opera without the rest of the smaller houses and buildings, which would take up a large amount of time, unless I make them in the Matte painting. I have designs a thumbnail (see above) where the camera points down from the opera, looking down at the buildings and putting the Opera front and centre, but the angel doesn't show off the Opera very well or the houses, as only the curved ones would be seen from this angel as its closer to the building.
