University of Portsmouth - Animation Yr. 2 - Animation Group Project
Characters:
During the production stage I tried many rigs from the internet, but none seemed to be working without issues.
My initial choices were Malcom and Bonnie, because there was a nice contrast between their shapes, but Bonnie couldn't be scaled. After doing some more research, I have settled for the Mery rig. The next step was to make sure that the rigs would look relevant to the chosen theme.
By creating some basic pieces of armor, and changing the colors of their clothes, I managed to make them resemble some adventurers.
Backgrounds:
One thing that I have realized after creating the background concept art was that my initial idea was too detailed, compared to the rigs. Because of the cartoony look of the characters, I decided to make a simpler background, with basic materials instead of textures. The only textures were used in the fire, map and the vines in the background.
The fire was created by downloading a video from Youtube, then exporting it normally, as an image sequence, to get the Diffuse, and then in a tweaked, black and white version, to get the Alpha. The flickering light of the fire was achieved by using a script that I have found on the internet.
