Simple 3D

Testing out a very simple 3d model for how arche1(that's the blue one's name) might start looking, im trying to stick with uv'd eyes for now and i will be soon trying textures on the whole body because he s looking way 3-d ish too waxy and too plasticky.

Hi, there!

Just a wee track test i did for A test Kieran is running for his film. Track the footage he gave me,

kieran's raw footage for tracking from daniel Borg on Vimeo.

Brothers

2 of my most finalised characters, i quite like the look of them if changes are to be made to these they be in the slightest. :)

Colours?

Just kicked up a couple of vector tests for 1 of my characters, the form is nearly final just needs some accessories like some chucks, and maybe a gym headband :). Anyway testing out some colours as well, figure i could go pretty mental and wacky if i wanted to. :D

Tracking

Worked a bit on the technical side of my project, since i'm kinda learning camera and motion tracking kinda by myself, with help from Mr. Rob Connor! It took me a bit of time to get used to the whole production pipeline that takes part before i can even think of setting my scene in maya, Anyway this is a very short and simple test for camera tracking. I've yet to experiment with lots more variety of shots and camera motion and didn't really think about integration of the cg elements in this scene, just a 10 minute job tweaking some shadows. Anyway the tracking for now looks decent.

Storyline/Screenplay/Semi-script

Just realised that i've never actually pasted the story for "my welcome intruders', so here i'm posting the lastest story. This still needs to be formatted in script format. Anyways hope someone has the time to read and please comments are really welcome.
Cheers,

Sketchbook update 25/02/10

Hi there, just here to drop a couple snaps from my sketchbook. Just something to show some of my experimental stage in character development.

Dan

A wee bit of flavour

Still needs colour and some more shizz, but yeah!

played a wee bit more with logos, trying to get a rude blackboard-ish and a bit crazy look :D



Dan

Name! " My welcome intruders"

Might have settled for a name which i quite like cause its a bit more playful the rest of the bombastic stuff i was thinking about haha! Anyway "My welcome intruders", is the new name for my film and thought i'd paste some of my thoughts on paper :)

Dan

Sketchbook update

Hi there, just thought id paste a couple of wee sketches done towards character design. Far from anything final just getting into gear.

Dan

Dissertation is taking longer than expected! lol, hope to be postin stuff soon after this is out of the way

This is my starting point backstory for my characters, i'm constantly adding to it but i think it should give a good idea of what i intend to do with my characters.

Dan

Hi, there! this is gonna be the blog for documenting my next project! So there will be stuff to be uploaded pretty soon! Still working or pre-pre-pre-pre-production :) so kinda thinking about characters and how the events will unfold. It is gonna be a film consisting of 3d animated characters (bout 4-5 of them) match-moved on live action footage.

My main focuses for doing this film are purely character design- 3d character concepts, but i am also immensely interested in how well animated characters are integrated in real life situations so there you go!
