MARMOT

I just transferred the marmot and either my laptop didn't like it or there is major problems. ill re-paint the weights quick....

Shot List

The shot list is now on ShotGun, or you can see it here. We can now divide up the scenes to who is animating them :)

update-marmot

Finally got the textures and blends to work, just got to make a few nose blends so he can sniff ect, then ill paint his weights. Ill also try adding some controllers for the face too. I shall have him finished by the end of tomorrow..(tuesday) hope all dissertations are going well....

Street Fighter 4 and Lego!

The style of this game is amazing if we could get something like this for the characters it would look awesome :)







Also I was thinking of how to simplify the trees and here are some lego examples, they may help with the shaping of them if you did want to make them out of the cone shapes we already have just dent into them or something and maybe add some snowy bits for higher ground?

Onimusha Research

Another game worth looking into for styles is Onimusha, especially the fourth one as I believe they tried to do a more painted style with that aswell. Here are a couple of concept pieces etc, but I will see if there is any more I can find.


(this next one is actually a fan piece from a deviant art page, but it looks really cool and the trees are really simple)

A couple of in game shots, I particularly like the next one as the colour in the sky looks nice against the grass planes.


More awesome concept art:


- David I was wondering if you could go all out and draw a concept piece we can use as promotional material for our film?

Mongolian Rig Setup

I think the Mongolian rig is pretty much done, his eyes still need doing but I do not know if Tara wants to do that so that they are the same as the Marmot? Hope it works!
