Environment Finalised

Laura is almost done with the texturing of the environment, making sure that the realism of the set modelling come across. She did detailed texturing on every single model on set, with immaculate designs.

She tried putting the props that Tenzing modeled to put in context with the environement.

Test - Debates and Remodel

We had several discussions and debates on remodelling the audience as we finally felt that the audience looked out of place compared to the realistic-ness of the set design and the opera dancer. By putting him with the props, we finally saw that we are in dire need of revamping the design of the audience in order to let it fit in the whole look.

Animation of Shot - Zoom out shot

We outsourced the animation to Tan Jo Anne, a Malaysian pro-animator, currently working as an animator in Lemon Sky. We tried the camera work with the dance in context with the environment and the audience.

Comping the Opera Dancer with the Environment

Laura received the Opera Dancer from Samuel and comped it with the environment she modeled and textured. Using mental ray lights, it enhances the mia-shaders of the model; the different v-ramps on the silk texture of the Opera Dancer.

Intergrating the Dragon Pillar with the Environment

Samuel tested out his dragon pillar on the environment, resizing and placing it correctly to make sure that it will not be overpowering the stage.

Finished Rig for Opera Dancer

Jenny has finished the full workable rig for the opera dancer, with simple and straightforward controls and paintweights. Animation will start as soon as the references are finished and camera angles confirmed.
