Modelling Update - Character Design - The Cherry Red Shed - Myself

This is my update so far with head modelling. I would show a smooth mesh preview, however, Maya isn't allowing me to press 3 to smooth any of my models, no matter what size the file is or what complexity it is. I have tried to fix the problem via many different tricks and techniques, including re-download Maya 2018 with no luck. So I will be coming into uni tomorrow to work there and use the smooth mesh preview.

Character Design Continued - The Cherry Red Shed - Grandad

These are my final developments for my Grandads character design. I haven't changed huge amounts as I would like to keep the character as true to my Grandad as possible. Now that both character designs are done they can both be moved into Maya, this will be tomorrows task.

Character Design Continued - The Cherry Red Shed - Myself

These are the final two character designs with three different variants alongside them to see what ones are the most appropriate, and also to see if their designs work slightly better with slight adjustments. The final design will then have its colour palette chosen and orthographs drawn out ready to be taken into Maya for modelling.

I've yet to choose what design will be appropriate for this character.

Minor Project - Animatic 2 - Development

Creating the saw section as it wasn't translating well being hand-drawn. And also adding an image of my Grandad within the animation before the woodshaving section. I would like to add some extra photos as well in other places such as in the room with the boxes scene but haven't quite got to that yet. The first video is of the animatic with the changes in and below are the changes on their own.

Minor Project - Animatic 2 - Development

Here I have been adding more parts to my animation as there were several things that needed to be looked into. I am still working on this so it's not quite yet finalized but is nearly ready to be turned into a full pre-vis.

Progression of Animatic into Pre-Vis

This is currently how far I have got in turning my animation into a pre-vis. I am further behind than I wanted to be as I've had a couple of issues with Maya not enjoying some of the camera angles and having to fix that. I am also working behind the scenes to fix and change areas within my storyboard as I feel its still not quite there so drawing those scenes is still in progression. I am pleased with the majority of the animation as a whole now and it should start speeding up from here.
