What I can't do

So the point of this audit is to highlight what we can and can't do... While I could technically unwrap and skin  I know that it would take me a ridiculous amount of time and the results wouldn't be great so I'll just work on the 3/4 view and have a good start on the group projects pre production.

Here's the link for the pre production document if you'd like to see what we're getting up to.

Walk Cycle

A simple walk on the spot, I think it loops alright...

3/4 view

A bit better

Hmm, needs a slight tweaking...

some frames need moving around to make the jump seem natural.

Starting the Jump

Started the jump, it's not much but I thought I'd put it up to show progress. He's going to jump onto the box and then off the other side rather than straight over.

The Problem Fixed Itself...

I have no idea how, I choose just to not question it.

I don't even...

Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing, it still lets me move and animate the head but the second I toggled animation on this happened   D:  It won't let me move the limbs around to fix it either...

Better 3 Point

Slight improvement but I still don't like it that much.

5,000 Tri Guy

5,000 EXACTLY! I just plonked some flat colour on him.

3 point lighting

Before lighting.

Shadow on the ground seems a little harsh.

 Final, the shadows seem a bit too soft, might revisit this later.

Noon Lighting

I added in a before lighting picture for comparison, I used a daylight lighting system set to about 11:20am. I really enjoyed lighting this! I'll have to play around with lighting more often :)

Low Poly Gun

I don't think I've done this quite right, the tri count is at 1,311... The front of the gun is a bit off but I wasn't 100% sure if the gun was supposed to be smooth at the front or have obvious sectioning.

Front and Side

Just realised how crazy fat I made one of the forearms. I'll fix that later.

Edit: quick fix.

3/4 view in progress

Front View

A lot rougher than the side view, I don't like it but I think it works as reference for a 3d model alongside the side view.

A small, plump, flying creature...

“A small, plump, flying creature between two and four feet long. These creatures have pink, burnt-flesh coloured skin, and their eyes are on stalks protruding from their heads. They have razor sharp teeth and a stinger.”

I was thinking about sharp teeth and one of the first things that came to my mind was a baboon, so I thought a bit more about how I could use baboon style teeth and I came to the conclusion of making a rainforest/savannah hybrid creature. I followed the idea through and completed this side view in one sitting, front and 3/4 view coming soon.
