Adaptation B: Crit Presentation

Adaptation B: Making of

Making of document for Adaptation B. Not sure why the first image appears twice, as it seems to have appeared like this on scribd. Turnarounds will be uploaded later, I'm still rendering some bits out.

Adaptation B: Glass Textures

Adaptation B: Plastic Textures

Corrected the problems with the last images I saved out and made the eye shader a phong.

Adaptation B: Glass and Plastic Beetle Textures

After speaking with Alan he showed me a way to make the shaders more cartoon looking. I think they're looking pretty good so far and just need a little tweaking. 

Adaptation B: Plastic Skinning Complete

Plastic is fully skinned!

Adaptation B: Glass Rig progress

Rig so far for my Glass Beetle. I can say I'm confident rigging arms after rigging four! It still needs a few additional things and then a tidy up! 

Adaptation B: Texture Tests

Initial Glass Texture Tests

For Glass I've only painted the basics of the UV map but his colours seem to be working nicely together. I'm planning on texturing Glass to look more like glass. 

Inital Plastic texture tests

For Plastic I tested the black arms I had in my original design but I disliked it. I then went on to neaten up the Texture Map and tried adding some detail similar to that of a beetles. I think the last image is the way I'll be texturing by. The next step is to adjust the shader to be more like plastic and do some test renders. 

Adaptation B: Glass Skinning Complete

Skinning for my Glass Model is complete along with it's wings!

Adaptation B: Glass Colours revised

Because Plastic is a more colourful beetle I have relooked at Glasses colours to incorporate three base colours. I personally think that 2, 3 or 6 would fit best with Plastic and still maintain the 'glass like' colours that I want. 

Adaptation B: Glass Skinning Progress

After laying out the UV's for both Models I have been focusing on the Skinning and Rigging of the characters. I've uploaded a few test animations to show my skinning progress.

My models for Glass and Plastic are pretty much completed. Other than touching them up and adding geometry where needed, I'll be ready to UV soon.
