More Production

So today I spent most of my time on Donkey Hoti. Hopefully my contribution will be done this week, and I can channel all my energy into thesis. It would be nice to get some part time work as well, but one step at a time.

Anyway, I did manage to get some stuff done between yesterday and today. I modeled the well, which will of course look much better with textures and bump on it.



After much fretting I decided to put most of the final ingredient bottle detail in bump and possibly displacement texture. What I did do, however, is rig a liquid meniscus that can go up and down, and rotate, simulating the moving surface of liquid as the bottle is jolted or picked up. A wireframe showing the rig, and the render itself.




tomorrow and friday: redo textures for manual for single ingredient idea, rework 3D animatic, model the dragon. Yeah right, but I'll work as hard as possible, I promise!
