mental note

havent posted anything recently as ive been brushing up on particle simms....will post some test soon and also continue the HAC project in the next couple of weeks

stills in more detail

basic GI test on animation

Global Illumination First Test

box illumination

My next challenge is to illuminate the extrutions. I'm going to firstly try instancing point lights to either vertices or single points on each primative face. A possible 2d solution is to take an occulsion pass and treat it as a light pass in shake. I shall post example of both these methods soon

my brief

I want to be creative instead of destructive with this project. My idea to is to animate a dancer on the front face of the building where extrusions and illuminations respresent his movements. Where he movements are closer to the camera I want the extrutions to come further out. To close the piece I would like to finish with a RBD simulation of the dancer falling out of the building and seperating on impact of the ground below.

footage

brief

For the competition, there are two sequences to choose from that have been match-moved in PFTrack. The first is a shot of a young man running down an alley while the second is a street shot of a typical office building. It is up to you to enhance the scenes with a swarm of killer bees, an alien invasion or maybe a meteor shower
