Last week

Well, with the base shot copmplete and renders working it is also my task at the moment to composite the shots, my routine is to light link, change materials, sort out the nCloth, set up the passes, change any animation that is going through other objects, send it to qube, composite in after effects then re render for premier pro. I have to do this with two shots, which is reasonable with the base shot, however those are being used up, meaning i have to work on new shots and light them myself, this started with looking at the Headphone shot Grigs had done and what he did, which i was nearly able to recreate.









Grigs had been rendering the nightshot Pan from home and this week i had been compositing it and we have found some hickups that we can easily see, but hope that because its us no one else will notice to much. But that is now finally rendered out and looking great. I have also learnt some new stuff in maya nCache it basically records nCloth in a seperate layer which is needed for the shots were the oxygen mask or ed hit it, whilst there have been hick ups, i was able to solve it.

I left the week on schedule of the amount of renders and did 4 over the weekend as 2 a day means everyday in the week, which was ok last week, as i had nothing planned, but i think i am beginning to see how daunting these last few weeks are going to be, but hey i will miss it once it is finished, my parents said i wont know what to do once college is finished ant there right, i am going to miss meeting up with the guys watching them animate whilst i render and have a laugh, so i am going to make the most of it!
