It’s 5:33 am and I still couldn’t sleep! Caused by 2 cups of coffee??? maybe. Anyway, finally i’m done animating my previs. I just need to put them into one video. It’s not that hard but not that entirely easy…it’s annoyingly boring…eh, well, for me who never used the software for animation. I’m so used to xsi wherein I could select everything and hit the “key” button which I just can’t in maya. In maya I have to select everything!!! One by one!!!! and then set the key. But i’m pretty sure there is an easier way to do that.
After doing the previs for portfolio, I modeled a frozen river. I was after the icy effect on the water so the model was very simple, I just used procedurals. yep…lousy texturing too, but like what I said…it’s the ice! Unfortunately, I didn’t get the result I want. It still looks like water. Oh well i’ll just tweak it later i thought and i just played with the renderer. I thought of adding a fog to the scene but what it does is negate the texture…but, it also made the ice looked like ice…hahaha! I posted the images here anyway so you’ll be the judge!:)
I am so sleepy right now…
