but work goes ok.

stuck with ideas and feeling sick

i'm getting cofused what i want to do.
It doesn't look close to what i wanted to do.
it just gets chaotic.

right now i'm working on brush tool.
i used smearing effects. but, temporary removing.
i was using it too much.
i think this was the one of reason the project got chaotic.

develop hell scene more!!

i tried to make hell scene to have more stuff and depth.
ex, lava and rocks.

i think i have to rethink the movement of butterfly.
i don't like the way it's just fly random.
i want it to stop on some flowers or painting.

changing and developping heaven scene

2008-05-11T03:58:00.001-07:00

particles are not natural.
solution for particles.
increased size.
check better illumination,
reduce roundness and transparency.

lighting is so awful.
i have to fix them from the beggining.
but i like the lighting of hell scene.

heaven scene is just too simple.
lighting is also hard too.
right now it was just a little too bright.

found better texture to get painting effect and some tests

test&test

2008-05-08T01:52:00.001-07:00

visor rush can be usefull to have ink line and washed testure.

looking into content, i don't really like the scene right now.
it doesn't have depth.
i'm also not liking the butterfly, too.
color is just too bright and doesnt look good when it is just infron of the camera.
i think i have to push down its color.
maybe i could apply the sumi ink texture.

requre use of less lighting.

Overview

progress of scene

questions

how to make particle look realistic cloud.

texture of butterfly.

lighting

whole composition

(i don't like how i put heaven and hell together in the scene right now)

(i don't see any unity in my scene)

another idea= make two frames. one for heaven, one for hell.

colors

atmospheric fog

Proposal

Project Proposal

Basic Idea: Painting in 3D animation format.
Theme: born, hope, hate, death and everything in the world. Like heaven, hell, earth.
Main Software: AutoDesk Maya, after effect, depthQ player.

Basic Idea
When I was thinking about this project, I wanted to put together everything I've done in school, that is drawing, painting, designing, and art history. I always wonder if i can get in to the painting world and experience the painting. I thought I can create the world in Maya, So, I dicided to go with this idea. Basic theme is Hell and Heaven. This is very classic theme and one of themes i wanted to depict in my work.

-Absract-
For this project, I want to create 3D stereo animation in the manner of painting. I want to make it look flat in some way and very 3D in the other way by using Maya animation program. I don’t know how it would look like when I use stereo camera. But, I always wanted to make painting in 3D. I like to look at paintings. This time I chose the style from renaissance paintings. I really like their touch of painting. This time I want to create a scene of hell, heaven and earth..? This is like Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthy Delight or the last jugdement. It well depicts what I want to do in my style.

Timeline

1. Idea development. Story Board. Some sketching.

2. Research. Sketching, and start modeling.

3. Modeling and rigging. And texture.

4. finish most of modeling. half of week, start work on the shades and textures.

5. more of textures.

6. set camera, and movement. Fix some placement.

7. Keyframing, and animation

8. test render and fix.

9-10 final rendering
