Description Here's Tyl again!

I'm testing out my lighting and playing around with things to see how everything's looking. I thought I'd share XDD because I'm a shameless braggart!

This scene IS technically in the film, but I moved the star which is actually offscreen in this shot

This is STILL not Tyl's actual skin! D'X I still need to paint it.
This was ridiculously quick to render. so hopefully that's good news for the rest of the film 8D;;

Any thoughts?

Will scrap later

Edit: erm... changed my mind I like it too much to scrap.

A very unique angle - and I DEFINATELY mean "unique" in a good way And the lighting looks GREAT. As good as I bet his finished skin will look, I'd be almost sad to see this solid blue go, because it shows off the lighting really nicely.

C-Puff In reply to Kaffles [2010-02-02 20:30:21 +0000 UTC]

XD;; I'm having trouble getting the lighting to look this good in every scene which makes me a sad panda
His finished skin isn't that different It's more or less the same blue but with a white front and yellow markings on his eyes, forehead, chest and fingertips. And then his legs are charcoal with yellow markings on them. ....that is IF I can figure out how to unwrap his skin so I can paint it XDD *cries*

XDD You're not the first to say that, but he's not like Mikey personality wise He's a perfectionist and a little anal XDD but when he tries to get people to work he comes across as whiny XDDD

It's very nicely done! The star and Tyl's expression makes it feel like a fairy tale! I especailly like the way you made his eyes! They look so innocent and child-like.

C-Puff In reply to PsychicPyroFreak [2010-02-03 02:54:58 +0000 UTC]

X'3 thank you very much! the eyes were actually ridiculously hard to do XD;; they don't work like normal eyes at all! and they're technically too large to exist so I had to cheat so many things!
But I'm glad you like the end result X33

seasonofclarity In reply to C-Puff [2010-02-02 05:19:40 +0000 UTC]

Yep. Blender movies are these things that were made using raytraces of scenes, where they raytrace each scene, move a tiny bit, trace again...and throw all the scenes together to make an animation.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

seasonofclarity In reply to C-Puff [2010-02-02 16:56:41 +0000 UTC]

Nah, raytracing is an algorithm where "rays" are shot from a camera through a "screen" of pixels (what you see). Each ray then reflects/refracts off objects it hits, then sends a value back to that pixel. It allows for the generation of true shadows, reflections, and refractions in 3d imaging. Photo quality raytracing of a complex scene can take a single computer weeks to complete the tracing of.

[link] Here are some of the movies.

XDD *flails wildly* you're talking TECHNICAL stuff with me!! My brain shut down after the second sentence! I move things on the screen until they look good. That's all XDDD
I'm animating in Maya and rendering with Mental Ray. That is the extent of my knowledge.
