Game dev WIP

I am working with a group that wants to do a game cinematic, my job in this shot is the floating parasites, the material shading and the lighting

GreaterDC:

nijabazaar:
Listening to Master KG ft Burna boy. That piece is uber dope.


By the way, you guys should patronize my company na. Anyhow, any job is enough for visibility. Unless, na liquidation be that....fold up


Please, you guys should know someone, who knows someone who can help the company grow. Times are rough and tough

Na advert I dey do. We need patronage biko nu. These are some of the things we can do. Wonder why one cant post videos here

nijabazaar:
I will
Right now, i am trying to make a 3d sand man. Its wrqcking my brain.
U remember that sand man in spider man 3

cRAFTsVEN:


What kinda hardware are you working with?

nijabazaar:

A simple laptop, turbo charged.

I started out when i clocked 26...then i dabbled into tge whole genre of CGi, thinking i would be so easy. If only i knew...lol

And i would always credit Micheal Jackson's film Ghost as what really spurred me on to have a serious go at CGi as it relates to Film (the very moment when he smashed his face and it disintegrates in crumbs of dust, i will neva forget that).

I wont say cartoons inspired me, even though i lived all my teenage years on Dexters Lab, Johnny Bravo, Looney Tunes, Power Puff gurls, Fred Quimby's Tom and Jerry, Ed, edd and Eddy....chai i am really old. I watched them because they're pure and funny and an integral part of my nerdy childhood, i neva really cared how they were made.

Oft, when i say film inspired me into Cg, lots of peeps look me one kind. Everyone was expecting me to say Shrek

And i also think the reason why i am indifferent to how 2d Cartoons were made was/is because i cant draw, hated Photoshop, disliked Adobe and then Area ....

I'd just discovered that I am a Capricorn Astrology things!!
everything they say about people born within the months of Dec-Jan is like a biopic of my life...

I'd also have the Herpes Simplex virus erupting over my upper lip today...it is said in times of extreme stress (I have been through a lot anxiety lately), they migrate from somewhere along the nerve ganglion to the skin. and of all places to choose to erupt, its the mouth


And i have got my first animal for this geometry tracking task. I am cleaning my tracks and working on some basic rotoscoping stuff. At the same time, i am rewatching a favourite clip from the game of thrones. it will serve as inspiration for my task.

List of softwares involved in this whole hullabaloo:

1. SythEyes ----Geomtry tracking
2. Nuke --- For the rotoscoping and Comp
3. Maya --- Rigging and animation Sturvs
4. Blender --- Retoplogy, Model refinement, textures and Hair
5. HotOcean ----- Needed by some hopeless plugin in C4D
6. Cinema4D ----- The shading Network and Passes


Renderers --- Arnold

Zbrush would have entered the lists, but i am reusing an old model, a dragon from my other existence

nijabazaar:
So i narrowed down my options.
What do i have: Maya
Can i make plant sprout out leaves and a flower? How would u do it?

Can i make the growth as organic as possible, with a tapering jiggle once the animation stops?

Is it possible to make the plant crack open the soil as its tendrils grow? What bullet system should u use?

Can i make secondary tendrils to grow along the major stem of the plant?

Everythang looks simple....until u fire up Maya.

I didnt sleep all nite...alright, i am really exaggerating. I slept late and not until i saw the idea at least to 80% been fleshed out.

I had singular issues with encasing the dragon inside the flower bud. U know the bud does not open until the last stage of the plants growth. Figuring out how to make the dragon grow with the plant became an issue...

I solved it by using point constraints and locators. At the end the reptile stay fully encased as the plant grows and only reveals once the flower splits open

I couldn't do the ground cracking up as the tendrils sprout. My intelligence failed me at that. Or simply put, i dont know how to do it in Maya. And transferring to Houdini isnt attractive.


I seriously wish i can post the playblast here. A bot keeps banning me. Who is the mod incharge of this section. Can u look into my case.? Posting utube links here earns me a suspension of 24hrs. Why?

AbundantGrains:
Is it just my eyes or am i seeing that you worked on Game of Thrones right?

AbundantGrains:
That you can't draw and nonetheless have broke boundaries has inspired me to try harder in modelling

nijabazaar:
Mood

generationz:


You drew this?

nijabazaar:


No, darling.
But I get inspired from gothic art.

I am essentially a goth.

generationz:


I see. How much will it cost to get someone to draw a dimly lit sitting room with lights sofa, candles etc with this exact technique?

nijabazaar:



Unfortunately, I dont draw (with pencils or ink ) but I can flesh it out in 3d ( using 3d programs) with this same feel.

generationz:


Yeah, with your laptop right? That's what I want. How much?

nijabazaar:


Can we discuss this further over WhatsApp. Here is my details:
