Changed composition, did more set dressing, messed around with lighting more.

Prison Cell Update

2009-11-01T23:06:00.000-08:00

Updated prison cell environment

Used different textures, still need to work on ceiling texture.

Lighting changed to better suit the environment.

Need to work on textures, mapping textures, lighting, a little more set dressing.

Environment Update

2009-11-01T22:27:00.000-08:00

Eroded the concrete on top of the building.

Added details to the environment.

Still need to work on the buildings on the left as well as create a matte for the background

Environment Update

2009-10-26T00:44:00.000-07:00

Added a bit more onto the main building.

Heavy work (modeling and texturing) still needs to be done in addition to lighting

Digital Set

2009-08-12T09:22:00.000-07:00

Assisted in designing and modeling the digital set.
Mainly worked on lighting, setting up the passes, and compositing the passes.

Main modeler - Josh Dunn

Digital Set

2009-08-07T07:30:00.000-07:00

Digital set designed and built for Mobile Motion Mocap.

I worked on the lighting as well as the train and a bit of texturing.
I also composited two characters within the scene for size reference.

Josh Dunn worked on the main modeling and texturing.

Renders

2009-04-27T08:08:00.000-07:00

Fixed lighting
Added studio logo
Changed camera shots

Work that still needs to be done:
Add a path between grass and building
Add lighting to second floor
Fix up any texture issues
Change lighting to night-time to add different lighting
Resolve dark exterior at the rear side of the building (add low intensity directional lights and area lights to simulate reflections of the sun on the environment)

Environment Update

2009-04-07T18:10:00.000-07:00

Added cubicles to second floor, added framed posters in main lobby, added planar lighting.

Mistakes made with the lighting (the light cards did not cover enough space or was too intense at some points and the final gathering accuracy was too low)

Will replace planar lighting with real lights for renders to make smoother images.

Will add oil spills, grime, etc into the back room

Will add concrete sidewalks to the sides of the building

Will add onto the environment (cards with forests or trees)

Game Environment Update

2009-03-15T16:58:00.000-07:00

Currently working on exterior environment and exterior texturing
Future plans: Design interior spacing (car dealership? electronics store? video store? spa? tanning store?)

Added hdr for background with surface shader lighting
