Animating the Posthuman. Animation week.
Finally decided on the sound track for my piece. "The Heart Asks Pleasure First" by Michael Nyman. i was glad to find the website for Michael Nyman posting his music free to use as long as u credit him and send in a copy for the site to promote, too good to be true!! I still think i could find something better suited to my piece, but it works well and the screening we had in class showed that it worked well. My animatic went over well. it was a little had to understand so i congradulate those that understood it 8D.
A few things that were suggested to me, fill in the rest of the scene at the start, which i was going to do so that was coolies. A tree was suggested as a replacement to the fish shop repetition. i liked this idea and Ive drawn up some ideas for colour and size, shape. I'll model one up an see how it goes.
I've been scouting shaders for Maya too. its crunch time and ive given up on the ida that i can redraw 1440 frames of animation easily, ive set up scenes in flash to help animate but they are not quick enough for me, also they are stuch at a particular angle. My characters have a lot of movement at different angles so a flash set up would be lengthy to set up and still wouldnt capture all the angles i want to show.
Back to the shaders. ive been doing some research into maya toon shaders and sketch tools for maya renders which have some promising results. Whilst not being the exact idea i wanted with the elaborate Studio Ghibli settings the toon shaders have a flatter range of colours which i feel will enhance the emmotion of the animation, simpler colours will direct the focus to what is going on and the emmotions of the characters.
Heres some links from my research:
www.aleski.de
diffusion curves, research by ARTIS
ARTIS Publications
DAVID LANIER 3D
Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique (yes its in French)
Pascal Barla research intoExpressive Rendering
And some YouTube for good measure.
