Frames from the first movie

First rendered frames after some compositing. Thinking changing the window colors of the cars and maybe the colors of the shirt of the girl to make here stand out some more.

Streetview with cyclist

Another rendertest to get the right atmosphere. Still not not happy about the blue-ish windows of the tram and the houses. But everything is coming along now.

Tramdesign

A rendertest of the tram I created for this project. Thinking of making the body of the tram somewhat reflective to give it some more life.

Rendertest

A rendertest for one of the scenes. You just have to imagine the the blue cube on the left is a car passing by pretty close.

City design

First design for the overview of the city.

Girl Pose and color test

The girl character is mostly finished now. I added some blend shapes and did more weight painting today. So it was time to test her in a pose looking very scared when the tram can't avoid her anymore. Some additional blendshapes will be added when I start the animation for this project. It's time for the second character first.

Environment models

Halfway creating the models for the environment now. Here is just a testrender in duotone for fun. The final project will be done in color but its always fun to experiment with colors and filters and discover new moods. The car is still a work in progress.

Girl model with bike

Just one extra for today.The girl is standing a little to high on the platform so there is some space between her feet and the platform. Maybe she borrowed her shoes from Astro boy. In that case, why should she need a bike then :-).

Setting with girl character

Finally an occlusion render to show how the girl looks in a setting. I gotta do some extra weight painting on the girl to fix some areas but overall I am happy with the progress.

Tram modeling done.

Finished most of the modeling on the tram today. Just a few more weeks and I can start doing the animations for this project.

New models

Just finished some models for the tramstation. My to do list is getting smaller:-)

HTM Tram model

Working on the model of the tram now. I trying to find a balance to keep the shape stylized but also recognizable as the HTM tram that runs in Den Hague.

Bike

I also modeled and rigged a bike last week. I even added a wheely controller :-). A big thanks to Henk Kok who helped me write an expression to be able to counter rotate the pedals to keep m horizontal when a character is riding the bike.

Rigging

Working on a new project where I also have to design, model and rig the characters.

I am using The Setup Machine for rigging the body and that works pretty nice. I only still have to fix some weight painting. But overall I am pretty happy with this tool. This week I will do the facial rigging with the Face Machine and I am very curious how that will work and how heavy the rig will become.

Rendering

One frame rendertest of my Sushi two dialog shot from class 4. My computer is making overtime rendering at night to have all the renders finished this week. I am not a lighter and renderer but its fun to add some extra flavor to those old assignments. And its fun to learn a bit more about this other process along the way.
