Lion Modeling WIP

Modeling.. modeling.. it always take longer than you expect.. topology is tricky business. There aren't enough time to quad-ify everything, looks like I'll have to live with some triangles...

By my current progress, it looks like I will need:
---1.5 week to finish modeling and texturing
---2 weeks to rig
---1week to do animation test.

October =>>> Finish lion character
November =>>> Animate film with filler environment models
December =>>> Render one section of film for review panel

Short Update

This has been a busy week, I refined my animatic according to last week's feedback, and I tried to settle down on the lion's look.

When the wings are folded, I will shrink it a little bit so it does not get in the way that much.

When wings are stretched out, it'll be bigger.

Shorter Animatic

I colored in the bedroom concept art.

The flower that the girl wears will be a white lily flower. The symbolism seem to fit.

I have been switching between different tasks to keep things interesting. This is a textured model of the bottled-ship from the library.

I tried to trim my animatic by leaving out excess scenes and shortening several sequences. The animatic was 5 minutes before and now 3:50 minutes long.

Bye summer break

So... summer is over! I've been busy with summer school and projects in the latter half of summer,  this is a summary of what I've done during the first half:


Since the only concept art I drew was of the library, I began modeling the room!

this is the entire library modelled according to my concept art

there is nothing fancy with the topology, i'm just trying to keep it as low-poly as possible without loosing too much shape

at the end of the day, the textures will add most to the looks, so the untextured models WILL look boring at this stage!

ships in a bottle... this may be here because I just finished playing AC4!

yes, everything in the room has their UVs laid out!

book textures!

book textures on model! woot! :D

the pot of plant is textured too!

and side by side comparison of concept art and textured model

since this is the real deal, I painted out all the details that I couldn't include in my concept art

Other than the library, I've also started drawing the concept art for the girl's bedroom. I will start to color this very soon.
