Maya task's

Modals and metaphors

Presentation by Aidan Codd

Light test's and a previz.

More test.

Here are some test shots of the puffer fish , the barracuda and the Animal planet logo. I have also done a play blast and a low res render test as well. Because of being ill since Thursday I haven’t been able to edit any of the footage into After effects at uni so in the low res render don’t have the particle’s for that reason, also after I rendered out the 5 second clip I then went back into the scene and added motion bluer and added depth onto the camera as seen in the last 2 still images before the you tube clips. 

The inflated puffer fish.

The Maya inflated puffer fish with a test texture on it , as there is going to be more than one  inflated puffer fish there will be a few more colour variations.

First animatic test by Aidan Codd.

After talking with Alan I started on an animatic, after that I made a Maya previz so it became clearer, both animatics need work on the timing , and how the logo for animal planet will be displayed is still work in progress. 

 

First story board idea by Aidan Codd.

After the third lot of ideas that I had, I started drawing up the puffer fish story as I thought it was the one that worked the best for the idea. So I drew up a story board and came up with a character design for the puffer fish and the barracuda, I took influence from how Happy feet designed their characters as its not super realistic but not super stylised at the same time, however it is the closes thing to what I had imaged for my idea.
