Week 14

 

Created a terrain and a cityscape in Blender. For this particular task, I referred to google map data.  

Blender has a special preset called osm where you can import satellite data and model creative buildings, vegetation, Road and railways, etc.

Extracting it as a UV textured image from Blender.

It took me a couple of attempts to get this result. 

Squarespace.com to share your skill with the world. 

Step1. separate by selection by going to material properties/ roof

Step2. enable wrangler for Node editor, first need to select principle shader.

Week 13, 14

 

Working on comics, Need to hand in this Friday. 

I have made a couple of changes in my comic pages to make the audience get the feelings.

Some pages have been manipulated to portray better understanding for audience, as from tutors advice and feedback, I have decided to change them. and I am happy with the result. If I have a little bit more time I would entirely, change the drawing style of the comic, as the line are still looking rough. 

Week 14

 Fixing up system compatibility Report issue in After Effects on my laptop when it crashed several times as I suppose it was due to video Graphics compatibility. 

issue not fixed due to os version.

Using World Machine for the first time. the following tutorial and creating my own terrain. As I have tried in many software including Maya, Mudbox. but this software seems to be easy and hand to use. Performs well with low memory usage/ video graphics.

                                                                   Horizontal view

So, I could manage to make some of these landscapes and attach them together, making them appear as a sphere, then I might be able to get the planet look. Maybe trying to apply vibrant landmass structures. 

Basically, What I see that the 'clamp' node allows playing with mountain peaks height and overall look. Here I was able to get this sort of view.  And one thing to notice, It requires baking(build to the current device) after every change.

Week 13

 Scene 1 (outside) Prabesh keeps on waiting outside so that the man could 

one on one: exposure control according to the camera. It takes a long time to master and needs practice and a brief understanding. so it is recommended to use a good cellphone that has options 

while working on my project.

I came to know how complex the film making is. this includes camera movement, timing, acting, lighting. It is more important listening to the main director than actors or other people, which often distracts our concept and film making process as overall. As this was my first time shooting a film, I realized how complex it is, then simply watching movies. I could not achieve this as a professional but got a general concept of film making. In my context actors were of my on-field of studies and they were putting their advice as well. I kind of like that concept. and followed them, But in the end, the happening was completely different than the plot. 

One take camera shot is an impenetrable challenge. and I can't even think of perfecting it. But As a project for my current course, I have tried my best. to organize everything and instruct actors. I am very thankful to my actors who are highly supportive and energetic. I like their energy. 

Special thanks to the homeowner, and the camera owner. I am 

Editing my videos together.

shadows while capturing footage.

a male and female character

Comments from a tutor,

Instead of the background being white/ it would be better to make it of different colour/ also colour the character.
