More Shtuff...

We have been busy with character creation and setup over the last few weeks. So far the three office characters have been modelled and rigged and karen is in the process of texturing and refinements. At the moment I am doing pre viz/layout/ so we can get a good idea of the pacing and timing of the whole film.

A screenshot of the animatic


Karen has done a great job on the modelling of the characters. She also made a plasticine maquette of the main character Ted, as part of her honours research and also to help in the modelling process.

Isnt it cool and totally awesome?!

I have been busy with the facial rigging over the last few weeks. They are rigged with a combination of blendshape deformers and soft mods. These are controlled with the facial GUI seen below. The characters are rigged with a direct manipulation facial setup so there is a lot of flexibility with the expressions. Screengrab.



Here is a little compilation page of Ted with some concept drawings as well. He is still wip and the textures and colours will change as we are still working on his look.

Here are the other characters still in need of some textures and colour which are steadily in progress in the very tiny but capable hands of lovely Karen


Here is one of a huge pile of colour scripts, it took us ages to choose cos there are so many awesome ones that we have done. Period.

We have really only done one.

Below is an environment render of Normas Cubicle. Its looking fiiine and is actually based on karen actual desk. This is not true, my desk doesnt look like that- Karen. Yes it does - Matt
