Over the past few months and weeks I have been neglectful in updating this blog of mine and displaying the content that I have produced. These are some of the things I have been working on as I have been working on my final major project and other well as other exercises.
This scene that is beginning to take shape in these images is the penultimate scene in my animation where the protagonist discovers the secret of the mountain and reverses the destruction that was threatening the village.
These images below depict the contents of the opening scene, minus the protagonist. I experimented a little with the sculpting tool within MAYA and found it to be quite simple to create effective-looking rock formations.
Here we get a scope of the hero’s quest ahead of him as he reaches the last peak before the mountain and is truly tested.
Filling the gaps was tricky to work with by simply using the tools that the sculpt menu had to offer so I individually picked each of the misplaced vertices and aligned them to the adjoining plane to a position that looked appropriate.
There is still much work to be completed within these scenes but I am currently pleased with how they are progressing.
Here we have my character model for animating the character within the 3D environment.
