Maya Tutorial: Arnold Shaders

I had alot of fun playing around with the AI Standard Surface shader in Maya 2018 and I found it easy to use, but I think that I will need to sit down and work out what each slider does and what effect it will have.

Scene 1
 Scene 1 was me just trying out some of the setting untill I made something that I liked the look of as well as trying out some of the persets like Gold and Jade.
Scene 2
 I couldn't help it I just had to make every thing a bubble when I found out about the Bubble perset. (Scene 2)
Scene 3
 I also wanted to see what the Jade perset (Scene 3) would look like on the different shapes. Where as with the Glass perset (Scene 4) I edited a bit to try and work out what each part did, which made some of the shapes look like jelly.
Scene 4

Scene 5
The last perset I tried was the Chrome one (Scene 5) which I might come back to and try editing to see how the shine works.

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.
