The Victim: 3 second placeholder for promo showreel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH7r6cjyNc8

(Go to youtube link above to see the animation test)


I'm going to use this for within the promotional showreel for my end of year showcase. The animation will be a lot smoother once it's placed in the showreel, if you see the camera looking a bit jumpy, it doesn't do that when viewing the actual file.

I'm very happy with how it hs turned out, considering each of us are only allowed 3 seconds.

Current facial models for the Bully

I've made progress in terms of the Bully final heads... I decided to put the big 'mushroom' hat on his head so that the audience would be able to tell the difference between the two characters.. and also so he looks a bit different... and perhaps wears the hat thinking that it makes him look cool...

The Render basicly shows you the age progression, I think they will a lot better attached to their bodies, and within the scenes, I've also kept the style consistent within Jaime and the bully. The only things that will be changed, is the size of the eyebrows, and may sink the eyes of the old man into his head a bit more.

Current Character models for Jaime

These models show the progression of Jaime from Boy to man. I'm currently preparing my blendshapes.



I still have hair to attach onto the middle model of Jaime, but just wanted to show the age progression more than anything else.

This is screenshots of Jaime (old man) within a scene.

So.... I have about 3 months and bit left to finish my honours project... I now feel like I'm making progress... there has been some slight changes made to my specific research question, and currently waiting on results for my pre production work, research proposal, and learning contract... I'm also going to be part of preparing the showreel as part of the degree show... it's going to be a busy few months... but am really enjoying it.. and look forward to seeing the end result... :D
