Whelp! Here it is! The fruits of our labor; the result of a grueling 2 year process in Computer Art at SVA. It's been fun, and I hope you all enjoy what we made!

Now it's onto bigger and better things for the four of us :)

Cheers!

Bottle Shaders

Just some basic bottle shaders for the magic shop. More to come.
I will save it all for one massive update for after Thanksgiving.
I mixed mix a water node into the glass bump to make the glass
look old. Still a WIP.

more tests

This is what happens when care is not used to insure consistency and predictability of shaders across light rigs: Emily ends up with five different complexions, including stoneskin on her left leg. Snazzy... (my mistake)


Quick renders (beauty only, no post) demonstrating how proper shaders hold up under varying lighting schemes. (Shaders shown, esp. those for eyes and hair, are not final.)

Emily Animated Shading Test

Testing out shaders on the rig Michelle built.

Very preliminary proof-of-concept renders.

Lighting and comp test for Emily's Room.



Combining misss_fast_skin diffuse and mia_material specular attributes.

Dusty Wood!

Shading Phase has begun!

Testing out some blend shapes on Krzys's shader :D

Rust

Hey Gang, I couldn't sleep so I built a rust shader.

Tada!

Here's 2 render tests Michelle and I made of Emily. Enjoy

Prop Render Test!

In a fiery rage I built and lit a lantern prop for RabbitKadabra.

Rabbit is...

Done!

And a tad scared of his existence.....

New Environments

Here are some new environment concepts for the interior & exterior of the magic shop. The interior is supposed to be very cluttered! It has been decided that many of the books will be replaced with interesting, magical oddities to ground the shop in a more mysterious realm.

The twisted facade of the magic shop reinforces its dissonance with the adjacent architecture. Although once a well-renown magic shop, it is now the ugly, step child of the city, decaying with the passage of time; a mere shell of its former self.

We have SOUND!

Hey Everyone,
I recently contacted the very talented James Sizemore (http://jamessizemore.com/) and asked him if he could lend us his musical gift in our quest for rabbitkadabra. He of course said YES!

But first we must agree on the timing of the new Animatic I just cut. This is for timing purposes only. We can change stuff around still. This is just so we have a defined overall time so that James can write us a score of the proper length.
