It seems that the mental ray plugin won't load. I've managed to recover the files, but now mental ray won't work. I've tried loading the plugin manually, but I'm recieving the following error: "// Error: line 1: The specified procedure could not be found. (Mayatomr) //"<br />
<br />
Perhaps this is also why it crashes when I attempt to load it on the college's computers, too. I can work just fine, but I can't seem to preview any lighting or do any test renders.TFarringtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04134992373226790515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6013458352270200208.post-16281106505959912015-05-19T00:21:00.003-07:002015-05-19T00:21:51.488-07:00Progress UpdateJust a minor update on the progress of THES-P-4n. There's been some issues regarding the corruption of save files. Most of my periodic saved files have been corrupted, so I'm having to partly rebuild the rig from scratch. Meanwhile, I'm doing everything I can to recover the latest files before the mass corruption.<br />
<br />
Once again, sorry for the late update. I've been tearing my hair out trying to recover everything.TFarringtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04134992373226790515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6013458352270200208.post-76589657140743786342015-04-16T12:43:00.000-07:002015-04-16T12:43:20.166-07:00Texturework (Work-in-progress)<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello once again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've made some more progress on the THES-P-4n android's texturework, which I've made a few design choice changes to since the last post.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Remember the character 343 Guilty Spark that I mentioned last post as a source of inspiration?</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, I've decided that his design would take less president over the direction of my texture work than before as I've come up with more influences to include in my design choices.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Before beginning to texture, I looked up various theatres for backdrop inspiration after finishing the character itself when I noticed something.</div>

In my image research of all these various theatres, I noticed a few common themes:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Extravagance</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Detail</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Radient reds</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Bright golds</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Pale creams and whites</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Lots of trims and sculpted details</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It just made sense to me that, since this android is a product of theatre, why not take it to a metaphorical level? Have the chassis and various plates of his figure mimic the design patterns of the theatre's arcitecture?</div>

I retained the overall silvery-whiteness of the structural componants in order to maintain the his high-tech, almost Apple-like polish. I also splashed in a bit of royal red here and there to compliment the golden engravings to give him that upper-class royalty look.</div>

So many more sections to texture, though. I'll post again when it's finished.</div>

Especially since I'm now an Artist in Residence at UCA Rochester. I feel like if I'm to be a good example of a successful graduate, then I need to take my hands out from underneath my butt and do something!<br />
<br />
So yes, hello. I'm not dead. Don't worry--jobsearching has taken up much of my time since my last post, but I need to also make time for my volunteer work at UCA Rochester as well as my portfolio.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
___________________________________________________________________________________________ </div>
<br />
To kickstart the engine back up again that's been sitting there rusting, I've been working on something for the students at the campus for the purposes of learning materials--something for them to practice their dynamic posing on.<br />
<br />
I am currently in the process of creating a character rig that is easy to work with--one whose design makes it easy to see the sections of the body in a way that makes sense for the character itself.<br />
<br />
All of this I discussed with one of my previous tutors, Alan Postings, who was invaluable to me during my time spent on the CG Arts & Animation course at UCA Rochester.<br />
<br />
The character that I am working on is a thespian android--an 'acto-tron' appropriately named "THES-P-4n" (Theatre, Historical and Entertainment Services, Product model 4n)<br />
<br />
Firstly, I wanted it to look tall, thin, prideful and dignified, much like the stereotypical depiction of an actor. Additionally, since it's an android, the technology needed to reflect that. The droid needed to look sleek and polished--built with the finest that technology and modern science could offer.<br />

I accentuated the jaw to give him that 'handsome' look that you'd typically see with many caricature depictions of hollywood actors. I wanted to make sure that every part of the face was incredibly expressive, so instead of fixing the eyebrows to the forehead, I itentionally put them on piston stalks so that they can move independantly of the face. Expressivness is also the reason why I chose to keep his mouth humanoid. I felt like a fully angular and robotic mouth wouldn't be able to make such recognizable shapes as the human lips. Canonically, it's likely they would be made of some type of rubber or silicone.</div>

<br />
Broad shoulders, thin waist and thin hips--a slim V I thought would be the best choice of body type to represent the upper-class thespian actor. I feel as thought the shape turned out very well.<br />
The torso I divided up into sections: the upper chest, upper ribcage, abdomin, lower stomach and the pelvis. The three midsections would serve as a visual cue for how the spine itself bends.<br />

At this point, I returned to Alan in order to get some feedback about my progress who spotted several major, obvious flaws that I had managed to somehow overlook. One of the main problems was that there was no clavical joint. Well, there was, but it was tiny and wasn't enough to convincingly let him lift his arm without it looking like it was broken. Here is where I went back to the drawing board to come up with something different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It tried to make the joint longer, but that would mean carving out an enormous hole in the side of the chest cvity for the clavical, which didn't look right at all.</div>

Eventually, I settled on something that seemed to move comfortably and convincingly while giving him that shoulder movement I needed. I vaguely based the design on similar gyroscopic mechanisms.<br />

One final thing that needed changing was the lipsync controls. Alan felt that the small directional control inside the box control at the bottom of the jaw was much too small for users of the rig to see, and he was right. Plus, it wasn't very intuituve, so I scrapped that and started again. I ended up creating a plain, easy to identify control panel with sliders for each movement and blend shape.<br />
<br />
I also included a slider on the opposite site of the head to turn off the control panel so that the user has less visual noise to deal with.<br />

There is my current progress up until now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My future plans include building a set/backdrop for THES-P-4n to utilize and to create his textures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The next step, his textures, will involve plenty of research into the asthetics of many types of pristine-looking robots and androids in fiction.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I currently have my eyes set on a style similar to 343 Guilty Spark from the Halo video game saga.</div>

Perhaps it is time to start getting back into the swing of things--do a bit of spring cleaning and use this as a place to upload my post-University CG work.<br />
<br />
Let us kick off with some architectural work that I have been doing in my spare time.<br />
This was some practise modelling to help me get back into CG after a long hiatus.<br />

This scene will be playing during the scene where a troop of soldiers jogs past the broken shop window filled with television screens. I'll have to find a way to stick it to one of the screens... maybe with tracking.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since Alan told me about rim-lighting, I thought it might be a good idea to include some of them in my renders since then and, to tell you the truth, they've turned out much better than I anticipated! </div>

These images appear brighter than they really are, however. I'm not exactly sure why.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Been hard at work trying to light all of these scenes! Here's some of my favourites so far.</div>

I used that technique for the large numbers of civilians after animating 5 separate rigs. I then imported those five different animated civilians into one scene, moved them about into a small group, saved it, then referenced multiple copies of that small group into the scene. Because of the large number of rigs in this scene alone which all ready makes the whole scene's FPS drop like a comet, this playblast won't include playblast lighting or textures.<br />

There was so much stuff cluttering my scenes--no wonder they took so long to save and load up. "Optimize Scene Size" does wonders... and so does saving them in Binary instead of ACSII! Looks like I was pretty much doing everything wrong. Anyway, here's my first playblast since optimization.<br />

Playblast SceneArgh, that's the last time I try to include textures and lighting in a scene with multiple character rigs. I had to wait an hour for this thing just to playblast.<br />

I felt that just the single firing squad of soldiers didn't seem too dynamic and interesting in the animatic, so I livened it up a bit with some dynamic-looking slow-motion and bullet-time effects.</div>

Playblast Scene<div style="text-align: left;">
So since my previous playblast was so short and easy to animate, I figured I'd make up for it with a more complex scene.</div>
