Cold bird outside my window

Just a fun sketch between cleaning frames, needed a break! :D Always wanted to try merging a sketch with a photo, pretty fun actually.

My angle a bit off, i took the photo above my eye level, haha so sketching has a straight on feel but photo looking down a bit more then it should be, doh!

Rough ANM & Render Composite from Jon on Vimeo.

Rough Animation and a Rough first pass Composite, still so much to do, really feels to fast at the moment and story still not reading the way it should i feel.

But that's why I'm putting it up for In put, "Let Go, let grow!"

Abit of fun on the side

One of our test projects in maya today, just kept on tweaking it heh just fun to play with lighting and textures for abit.

At it's core this was a play on HDRI Enviroment Lighting and Final Gather. Was able to get the Render time pretty low I think, @1:50 a frame, the final Render took 5min with the higher sampling.

Most of these features will be used in my final I'll continue to play around with the finer details of the software tool to optimize it for a large animation roll out.
