The rig

Yo! Klas here.

I haven't had time to update in a while since we are on crunch mode. 14 hours a day for 10 days now, 7 days left to GGC. Intense.

I realize I haven't shown you Totec's rig yet ("skeleton"). So here it is. I have been using the CAT Motion system provided in 3Ds Max. The rig is fully stretch- and twistable and I've given him a basic facial rig which I've completed with morphtargets (modeled facial expressions you can blend between). I will just show an image for now, I will post a video sequence later :)

Hello people,

From my iphone. In the pic are Kaka, Klas and Evelina

We have started the crunch. Trying to get our teaser done for the GGC, there´s still allot of texturing to be done. But now we have a new addition to our team, Evelina Reich. To help us out with texturing and other 2d art we need. She´s an amazing 2d artist. And we hope she will still like us at the end. 

Over and out

When I made the 3D scene for the backdrop, I had to be quick about it. I had no time, but I knew that this thing would be printed onto a 2,2x2,6 meters big backdrop, so I needed alot of details! By the time I had to stop working on it and send it to Klas, so that he could paint some on it, it was the largest 3D scene I have ever worked on.



In the viewport I had a total of 71 709 174 polys.
When I rendered, and the smoothers kicked in, there were 941 620 726 polys.
Stupid?
Yes, a bit.
But it worked, and surprisingly it only took me 20 minutes to render, @6929 x 10394 pixels.
