It’s here.

Last scene to render (fingers crossed).  Crossing the threshold of 200 GB of data associated with this project.

Final tweaks to the telephone post before rendering this scene out.  Quick renders, < 3min per frame

The poster. Done. Down to the final stretch.

compositing the clothesline scene, split the difference between these two, and that’s where I’ll probably want to end up.

Finalizing all the scenes before rendering 1080p.  Trying to keep a consistent feeling throughout different scenes, so I’m working in pairs of two.  Here’s tonight’s work.

Model/Texture/Render of the plant growth scene (current progress)

Texturing everything that hasn’t been yet.  Screenshort out of Quixel 3DO of my current stoplight.  Separated materials for each light so I can tweak color/emission in Cycles directly in my scene.

Finalizing the order and pacing of shots for my senior animation capstone project "reflections" I was able to finish the song last week, and this is my next step in the process of finishing this animation. These are the scenes I intend to use in the final project, but almost each needs significant work before rendering at full quality. I will be finalizing a majority of the scenes by Monday April 3, and will assemble the final production when all my 3D work is rendered and composited.

Glitch test at 25% size and quality.  I am using this technique, then using Aftereffects to mask and liquify the effect to switch cleanly from scene to scene.  A large portion of this shot is white at the moment, but this will assume the color of the background of the first shot once I complete the shots.

Progress on multiple fronts: blocking and texturing the bedroom scene, and cleaning up lighting and textures on the building exterior.  Working on large scenes this weekend so I can render more shots overnight during the week.

Working on textures for a building in the city scenes.  Screenshots from Maya viewport.  Moving into Blender after a few tweaks.

Sneak peak into how this scene is laid out in Blender.

3/7/17 Rendering some large animated scenes in Blender Cycles. Cut render time under 10min for 1080p images.

Texturing a framing the first instance of the window for a pull-through shot.  Screenshot out of Quixel 3DO.

Just a cloud. Just in case I need it.  Simple and low render impact - Cycles volume in Blender.
