The Final Images

So here are the Final images for the scenery that will take place in my senior thesis, well, at least one of the sceneries. I have about 3 or so more.

Sketches for the Final Renderings

My Nightmare

Working on it as much as I can, I'm hoping to get it lit today which is the last thing I need, it's all textured and all. So I'm just hoping that the lab is open today so I can get most if not all of it done, here's work in progress. God forbid I show texture now, Maya will crash on me, there is SO MUCH STUFF in this scene, so much texture, so much polygons, and.. there will probably be a lot of lights and effects if things go well. This still needs a LOT of work for my senior thesis scene ... well it's one of the scenes for my senior thesis. Still need more plants. Wish me Luck! ;__;

Integration Simplified

I made you guys sweat (a little, maybe) over inserting a virtual object into a real photograph. Here is a system that can do the work for you:

To be presented next week and not yet available. These techniques do make it to market in a few years...

Brian Kapp Final Animation Update

Hey Guys,

Just a little update on my final animation and scene set up for class. Having some difficulty setting up a few things with the octopus so i still dont have the animation for that yet but as you can see I do have the smooth bind with a IKspline with clusters to give it the "tentacley" feel, same as the eel! I decided to two tone toon shade my final but there is a little trouble with toon outliner and mental ray I believe - but i will find out in class tomorrow. I expect myself to be pushing it to the very last minute, which is never good but all in all I finally am enjoying working on it and like the over all look of my entire project.
