Spectacular 3D Entry: Brian Hinton

#31

Thanks my updates will mostly be sketches of scene elements over the next 7 days, as most of my time will be spent working. After that I’ll have 7 days off to dedicate to modeling, etc.

It is looking good, and I agree your chasm is probably wide enough. I am finding that a really wide canyon is very hard to fit into a single camera shot.

Yeah. A wider FOV could allow it, but I think in my case I want the focus to be on the danger of the characters, with the additional horror of the massive drop and length of the canyon. It will look better when its modeled. (hopefully)

Lighting will come when it comes. The scene has an overhang of forest so that will have to be taken into consideration. I’ll do a 2D lighting representation soon. Thanks for your interest!

Reference images used for the teddy.

This is coming together fine - really dramatic, the little girl looks perfect. New angle works much better, this is going to be fun to follow :thumbsup:

#37

A quick sketch of the “chaser” of the scene. He will be positioned stepping onto the broken area of the tree bridge.

#38

cant wait to see in 3d:thumbsup:

#39

Pending any radical idea changes. This is my final scene sketch. Might do some color concepts, but this should give enough info.

I wonder if I should have submitted less sketches and waited until this final one. But I suppose it shows my thought process.

The initial idea was simply to have the tree breaking and the robot rescuing the girl. Now a dino (velociraptor-variant) is the device that breaks the tree and causes events to take place. He creates a sense of motion and urgency beyond the tree breaking. And is the cause of the effect.

Now the concept appears to be more rocking. When are you planning to start modeling, I can’t wait to see the 3d part of it.

Keep the good work going:thumbsup:

Hey Brian,
You are really moving along with your image, the concept is coming together in a nice way. Look forward to more .

#42

Cool idea. The dino and the breaking bridge definitely help the “spectacular” aspect of it.

ChrisThatGuy: Cool idea. The dino and the breaking bridge definitely help the “spectacular” aspect of it.

Thanks! Lots more work to do.

Thanks, Mike! Hopefully start modeling come next week.

Keep the good work going:thumbsup:

Modeling should start next week. I’m going to do some more sketches for different elements in the scene and once I’m off next week…work will begin on more modeling.

Thanks for the comments! I know its just sketches basically at the moment, but I appreciate the words of encouragement.

Some tree concepts.

I kinda feel your scene idea. Although, you did pick a great camera position with seeing deep into the canyon. That should be a good sight with some great details. The bear falling does help a lil drive the idea. At least to me personally. edit Good action taking place with the tree breaking. Continue strong, would like to see how it develops from your concepts.

Hoping the POV works well. I may end up adjusting it. Looking for a view that will get all the action yet still capture the emotion of the scene. Thanks for the comments!

#47

Well I’m taking the weekend off from working on the project. Take a step back and observe. And of course work 24 hours nonstop:)

Please do comment on the concept and the sketches. Work will continue forward on Monday.

great concept whats so great about it is the contrast between the little bear and its surroundings. Whats cool is that we normally think of dinosaurs and robots as much more interesting(atleast in the cg world) but here a bear is the focus.
