Thesis Book - Pre Production - Try II

Thesis Book - Pre Production

Here's what i have done so far for the pre production of the thesis book. it's the revision of what i had done before. I had some problems in research paper, and about placement of the documents. I fixed that little issue, and i think it looks pretty good to hand in.

thesis documentary

Here's what i have done so far to add to the thesis previz. book. this is the first part that includes all the documents like thesis statement, synopsis, storyboard etc.
in the 2nd part of the book, i have created the pdf. of the blog, and animatics along with proof of concept.

so far, i think things are on right track.

Meeting with Mike

Today, December 5th, I had another one on one session with Mike. I had missed my last session because of my mom's surgery, so for this week's session, i had a lot of questions to ask, and lots of things to show to Mike. so, here's what we talked about....

1. i got a dvd of tutorials about paint effect, which i think is door opening scene for me. it's really gr8 to go through those dvds, and see all of those possibilities that i can play around with to make my thesis look as beautiful as i want it to be.

2. i have to start working on gantt chart...( which i haven't even started yet ) :(

3. for next semester, my thesis should be finished by 9th week, so i can keep the last 3 or 4 weeks for fixing out any mistakes.

4. i need to get my stuff ready for book that's due in about 2 weeks. ( which i'm not worried about at all, because my stuff is ready, and in placed. all i have to do is print, and get the book ready.

5. finish POC.....( which again, i'm not worried about, because, all i have to do, is replace the flower texture with my painted ones, and i'm done)

6. i need to have shadows on those flowers, and need to get rid of that glowing glittery stuff in the middle of the flowers...

pretty much that's it.....

Growing Tree - In Maya

Well, here's the video i was mentioning earlier. I tried growing this tree in Maya, and instead of just going with what Maya could do for me, I pasted my own painted flower petals, and leaves. I think it works pretty well.

I did have some light here, and i must say that it's not very good. that's why tree looks a little darker. but it was just for a try, and i'm very much pleased with the results.
