episode 17: Revenge of the Toddler
So yea been awhile from my last post. My wife went away to Australia so I had to play Dad for a week.
It was a whole new set of challenges for me to try solve. A lot of film making and Animation is problem solving but trying to figure out what a toddler is crying about had me beat!
So I think I decided I wouldn't be a stay at home dad, an massive props to all the mums and dads that are looking after the kids!
On top of that kids are a breeding ground for disease I've discovered and last week was spent fighting a rather nasty bug.
So now I'm back and trying to fire through the pilling work load! Also Fishing season starts back up in couple of weeks and I already have photography shoots lined up. So need to get it all sorted and start rendering so I can get some more time on the water!
This week I've been texturing some of the larger pieces of furniture in the Lab and experimenting with shaders vs's texturing. long story short I'm using some shaders on a some metal things and Glass then texturing the rest. I just couldn't find or make a good enough rock and wood shader.
So it should save some time using shaders on some things but the time spent finding them and experimenting, I probably could have unwrapped and textured the objects.
Here is a wee render of my scene thus far but still loads of assets to go!
Here is the hero potion book "1001 Potions To Make Before You Die" So I've modeled and textured to book in it's main stage but am currently working on experiments for the best way to have the book unfold from the shelf! Rachel showed me some great deform tools which can be animated and the other idea is cloth sim. At this stage if I can get the deform tools to look good I'll go with them.
and Archee finished!!
So the link of the week!
"Loom" tells the tale of a moth being caught in a spider web.

Seeing as how I'm attempting to do some web simulations I came across this clip while looking for examples, I think these guys nailed a realistic web. Now to try and achieve a similar but more toon style web!
