Final Turn in

This week, we did a lot. I did all the VFX. I edited the gun, made the charge up, finished the dome explosion, made a ton of materials, drew flipbooks and textures, drew impact frames, composited, helped with set dressing, overall edits, rig edits, ground destruction and compositing. I also did the final explosion sequence all on my own, as well as sat with Gary and did the main animation sequencer all day. I am very happy that we actually got a good result. I would post more pictures but I think the video speaks for itself. I have too many images I could post. 

Turn in 5

 

For this week i worked on the ground destruction and updated the beam and the scale of everything since the scale was entirely off. I also made the dome explosion. Also had to do rig fixes and fix technical issues.

Turn in 4

This week, I made good progress on several parts of the project. I blocked out the explosion and started working on the materials for it. The up beam is pretty close to finished now. I cleaned up the beam, but it still needs a lot of work. I also made the thrusters and plan to add some more effects to them later.

I fixed some rigging issues and helped out with the sequencer. We had some last-minute problems with scaling the VFX, so I'm holding off on adding them to the sequencer for this submission. They should be ready by later today. I've also created a bunch of materials, but I think it's too many to include in this submission.

This week I worked on fixing the character rig, making the gun rig, and starting the gun VFX. I had to redo the ikfk switch on the arms due to unforeseen issue. I also cleaned it up and rigged the wires. I also made it look nicer with different shaped and colored controllers. I rigged the gun so it can transform. I also started the gun VFX. It is definitely still in first pass but rigging took much longer than expected.

Sprint 2

Rigging Progress

This sprint I made the rig for the mech. We ran into some issues, some of which we are still fixing. However, we are definitely at a good working point. I have also been in charge of our team and all of our scheduling!

Common Art first submission

For this sprint, I helped a lot on figuring out the idea and organizing everything. I am the lead on the team so I am in control of the scheduling and powerpoint. I also made the VFX in the animatic and found the references. I also worked with Gary (animator) to see what fixes we could make to the auto rigger and I started implementing them. I also did research on rigging the gun.
