  • Director Update: 545 | Tiny Town
    Ian Hubert's Posts - Project London - 2012-02-05 16:35:44

    When I was younger I thought all cities were the same size. All down-towns just a mile or two across, surrounded by endless suburbs. But man! After growing older and seeing a few more cities I realized: Seattle is tiny!

    It's hard to go somewhere in Seattle and not bump into a place we filmed at. I was looking at one of the first shots in the movie, and was amused by how many of our other filming locations were visible in that one shot. Just- whew! Holy cow. Seattle seems smaller every day.

  • Making a skirt with makeclothes.
    Makehuman - 2012-02-05 13:38:16

    There have been a lot of changes to makeclothes recently, and the documentation is somewhat outdated. I will do something about that soon, but in the meantime this post will illustrate some of the changes. I will also show a different way to import the base mesh into Blender, by using maketarget.

  • Weekly progress
    Morevna Project - 2012-02-05 13:01:07

    Ok, here’s another report. Finally we have new Battlefield concept completely applied to all shots. And here’s few samples:

    It’s awesome to have 3D as the starting point for real background artwork. Of course the final version will not go with 3D – we plan to do complete overpaint for the most shots.  Nikolay Mamashev offered his efforts to do background – he has ordered Cintiq tablet and ready to start with this task as soon the tablet arrive (judging by our post service – that will not happen earlier than 1st of March). Meanwhile, this week Nikolay have finished tracing of shot 32 and now prepares to get his hands on Priestess Sister.

    What’s next. We have successfully finished migration to Blender 2.61, so we can succesfully render animatic to show. Our next step is to concentrate on the characters artwork. We need to find dedicated artist, who will be able to work on the Morevna Demo for 1-2 months. His task will be to draw all missing keyframes and redraw all existing ones in the same style. Currently we have few candidatures and next week we will concentrate on testing their capabilities. Of course this is hard stage. But we’re moving. Stay tuned and have a great week!

    I guess most of us have done this at some time: create a 3D representation of your room or your house. Here’s an in-depth tutorial on transforming an architectural drawing into a full 3D image....
