Final version 01

Still fixing some materials stuff

currently learning more mental ray materials

Proj 01 - Camera Scene 2

yay two secs down eight more to go

Proj 01 - WIP (first one this week)

WIP in Maya now while I simulate another version of this.. I've started texturing and lighting. scene two but here's how it looks for now.

Proj 01 - Test Render

Here's a test render on one of the shots. I'm still not finish with simulating the other two shots that I want to use. Although I'm behind with my set deadline, I'm glad that I got to figure out what I should do. (previous post)

Proj 01 - Particle Friction!!!!!!!

I've been to CTN-X over the weekend. It was a very inspiring event. I did get the chance to think this project through without any computer near me. Particle friction is definitely the solution to this problem

Proj 01 - getting there

Sorry for not updating sooner, I was busy with my four other classes. Here's where I'm at right now. I feel happy with how it looks.

MIDTERM VFX WIP 50%

Here's another WIP. I'm still at the stage of finishing the other effects and haven't advanced into doing some rotoscoping.

MIDTERM VFX

So, I' m taking a break from doing my Drum project because it's midterms. Here's a WIP of my VFX midterm project.

Heroes WIP- test 01 from Aileen Acayan on Vimeo.

Proj 01 - Drumstick test

I forgot to post this yesterday. Here's another particles test. This time I used the mesh I modeled from Maya to see if they work.

Proj 01 - Particles 02

I figured out that the mesh was the problem with the simulation that I was trying to do in Maya. But here's what I really want to achieve and this is done in Realflow. I'm playing around soft and rigid bodies plus the real wave node.

Proj 01 - Problem so far

My first trial on making this particle = fail.

I want the particles to settle like in the first picture but when I run the simulation some of the particles fall out off the geometry. Then I tried combining all the mesh but when I do Fill Object, I keep on getting the same result in the third picture.

I won't be able to sleep tonight til I figure this out. Maybe I'm just thinking so hard that I can't think of any simple solution.

Proj 01 - Camera Movement

Here's what I want to shoot for but I don't like the fast cuts.

Proj 01 - Paint Drum Set

Here's a the set for the current project I'm working on. I will start messing around with the particles today.
