A Few Text Experiments...

I quite like these so far so I'll just have to wait and see what the group reckons! :)

Todays Modelling and Texture Tests...

Today I made...

A sheep!

Surface Shaders:

Lamberts:

A pen!

Lamberts:







Surface Shader:







Dead sheep in a pen!

Lamberts:









Surface shader and lamberts:

Surface shaders:

Some of the lines have doubled up on the fence but it's to do with the vertices so I'll go and fix that later, I just wanted to get some more visuals up.

I do love my sheep though :D

Trailer Tests...

Lamberts:

Surface shaders:







I think the tones from the lamberts are better but the surface shader is probably more what we're after. :)

Additional Tests: Lambert.

More tests, this time swapping the surface shader for a lambert:

Toon Shader Texture Tests...

First part of many experiments using toon and surface shaders to come!

Chair Experiments...

Having a quick go with the toon shader outline...

1st:

2nd:

3rd:

I made a chair quick out of 2 seperate squares and it definitely worked most successfully on the 2nd image. I got weird errors with the other 2 so there will be more expermientation tomorrow.

Modelling Tests...

*Just realised I should have been modelling with shapes rather than whole objects so those experiments are incoming!*
I wanted to get experimenting so I took one of Sean's drawings and had a go at modelling based on them.  They're really rubbish and generic models at the moment but I can only go up from here! :D

Maya Tutorials: Inside of the Mouth & Rigging the Tongue...

Edit with Spikey Wipes! :D

Mow with added spikey wipes in the last 30 seconds:



They took a ridiculous amount of time to do and they're slightly poorer quality than the rest of the video but hopefully they're not too horrible and get the point across! :3

Tweaked 3rd Edit...

My jagged wipes still need to be added in but it's getting there now.

Maya Tutorial: Cartoon Character Rigging...

Now, onto the inside of the mouth! :D
