What I was doing over the last few days


Small tweaks to Poe's face based off art team review on Monday. (eyebrows needed to be moved in somewhat)


I thought some about my Thesis and wrote up some things that I possibly want to think about when I am writing.
  • What previous Techniques were and how they were employed and why
    • Games that used traditional animations
    • Cinematic in game
    • Pre-rendered
  • Things to remember about cameras in general
    • Rules of cinematic camera work (180 rule)
    • Techniques for dramatic story- how to portray characters through camera to show importance and things like that
  • I was looking through a few books that I have to think up some camera ideas for when want to start my story boarding process.
  • Why do I want to use motion capture for a camera?

    • Camera in scene that is made. Help make camera move realistically (shaky cam, steady cams)
    • It's fun



Over the last few days: (monday and tuesday) I worked primarily on Penned tasks. I created 2 "cardboard cutout" models, Lit and Relit part of the Radiant Path, and worked on a Paint Over for our cinematic scene. I will be back on finishing the Poe Model for Rigging today!
