Major: Eye Texture Problem

I seem to be having a problem with the eye textures as a white ring appears around the eye where it should be blending in to the base head texture.

White rings on Moon

White rings on Sun

I did have this problem before with the Sun model and the way I fixed it was to redo the eye shapes so that they were saved with the base texture when I flattened the image. However, it seems that this has no lasted as both characters have this issue after I imported them in to the stage scene to started animating.

I might resave the textures for the file and replug them in, but I'm worried that after I start to move the files uni to home and back again the problem might happen again.

    Hi Rhia. This is not Anything that you've done wrong. It's caused by 'premultiplication'. Arnold averages the colours at the edge of your alpha map....making greys white. See me an we'll look at creating a fix.

Minor: Pre-viz and notes

Image
This is the per-viz for my Minor project that I have been working on over the summer. I set about doing this to get a better idea of now some of the shots would play out and to test out now some of the pops be shown. I am happy with some of the shot, such as the way that the Sun and Moon are introduceed, close ups that I have used for both characters, the way that Moon swings round with the crown along with the way the image fades out on the Sun at the end. I'm not too happy with some of the shots that have the characters moving around but this might be because I was focused on the walk cycle and I might not need it in my finished animation. I also think that the shot of the sun and moon spining round might have been done abit better.

@Alan Collaboration: Walk Test

Walk Cycle test from Rhia Crouch on Vimeo . Been trying to work on Moom's walk for a skit but I'm not sure what else to do before I put him in to the screen so I can work out him swimming and coming out of the water. He is meant to walk as if he is weigh down by the goo and also wobbels a little bit. I know the eyes are off and there seems to be a phantom animation going on with his right hand that I can't work out.

Premise: Feedback Ideas

Image
After presenting my ideas for my animation I was given the idea of making the characters of the Sun and Moon look like paper lanterns. This idea would fit in with giving the story a sense of history and culture along with helping me to think about the overall designs of the characters.
