Final Animation

The end of the quarter has come and gone so it is time to post the final animation. Final in the sense that it is everything we have completed during our three month quarter, starting from story outlines to polished animation. Some of the animation is incomplete and still needs to be polished but there are a few scenes where the animation fully polished. Although we won't be able to work together in a class again, we plan on continuing to slowly complete this film in our own free time so be sure to check back for updates in the future.

Ads

Here is the ad for the side of the delivery truck.....






















and here is the newspaper that arrives at a convenient moment to help Murray find a solution to his troubles.




















The headlines should be fairly familiar references for those in our class.

Well, That didn't work

Failed attempt at replacing Murray's body with the updated rigged version.
At least we know what would happen if the mower caught him



Update: Had to use merge to import without any "issues". I think we lost all the work Matt did with physique but I think there is a way to save and load in the vertex weighting level.. Hopefully. The other option is merging *everything* from the scene into Murray's final rigging max file. We'll see.

3D Animatic Render Guide

Here is a copy of the 3D animatic render guide. This should help us stay sane when we try to render and will help us figure out where the cuts are at in the timeline.

3D Animatic

Over the weekend we created our 3D animatic. Some of the cuts and timing need a bit of work but this is the first draft of what the final film will be. There are few elements like the delivery box, houses, tree foliage, grass and MowMaster colors that are not finished yet and will have to be completed later if we have the time.
