Reflection and final

I have no idea how I got this from my inspirations but here it is.

goal

finish current project

500 themes

I plan on doing a photomontage type of thing in photoshop to represent war. These pictures again excluding the face of former president Bush is what i would somewhat like to do.

Goal final week

I want to get my name slide done.

Goal + make up reflection

I finally have a large fully rendered image I can put in photoshop so I can fix the sky. I plan on working on getting the background done this week.

Goal 3/19/12

I want to work on something else but i am going to get one or two more fully rendered screen shots today and then start something else later this week.

Reflection

Rendering is killing me! I will start something else next week because i cannot get rid of the random areas that are not being rendered.

Goal 3/13/12

I am on time with what I planned. I could say I am done with this project but I may add something else if not I will end up starting something else instead because this rending is starting to kill me.

reflection

The scene will still only render at certain angles and i am getting tired of it will try searching for something next week to try and fix it.

Goal 2/27/12

I really want to change the color of my lighting to look like a sunset and then maybe continue on to something else since I have a base for a couple of other environments ready. I plan on moving onto something else by next week because i want something more then just just the one environment.

Reflection

I got the light to change but the image renders fully only at certain angle. I have no idea if I am on time with my breakdown i will have to check later.

Goal 2/21/12

Get lighting to go as a sunset tone and then maybe do another type of simpler environment and see how the lighting works with that as well.

Reflection

I got the lighting down but for some reason it will not change color.

Make up reflection for last week

Yeah so i am pretty much done doing the lighting i am just trying some things out and maybe i will start on another environment.

Goal 2/6/12

I want to finish the lighting on the meadow and to start working on another environment. (Maybe add more to the meadow if need but i think it will be fine) Although with how slow rendering is going it may take at least most the week to do the lighting.

Reflection

So i got started on a few other environments and am in the process of adding more realistic lighting for my meadow.

Goal 1/31/12

Well since I completed the meadow so much fast then planned I will be using paint effects to be making more environments. I think I will either do a city, forest, or some other outdoor environment and I should have the basics done by Thursday.

Reflection

So I got down with the meadow. Yeah so I think I will change my project to doing a bunch of different environments since it only took me a week to make the thing I thought would take 4 months. My bad oh well it turned out well anyways.

Goal week 1

I plan to have the base a good deal done with base/ the grass, dirt, flowers.

Screen shots

Goal 1/17/12

Get sketches done and start in maya.

Reflection 1/12/2012

Started on my sketches but wish i got further and I hop to finish them next week

Breakdown

January: Sketch out ideas, start putting together base, sculpting necessary things/making sure certain things work.

February: Start adding textures like grass, flowers, stream, etc.

March: Work on clouds, sky, and lighting.

April: Render and work on playblast of wind blowing through grass if have time, if not do a turntable.

Proposel

I want to make a meadow. It will have flowers, grass, a stream, some hills, and it will be during late morning. The grass should look as if there is a breeze blowing through it as well as the flowers. On top of a hill there will be a large tree in the middle ground of the meadow. It will also have a blue sky with some wispy clouds.
I want it to look as real as possible when rendered. That is why I picked the pieces I did. All of the pictures look realistic. I picked the clips I did for that reason also. Not to mention the one from 'Tangled' kills me every time I watch it. I want it to look like a picture when it is finally rendered in April.

Goal 1/10/2012

I plan to get caught back up by the end of this week and hopefully start on and get pretty fair on my sketches for my project.

Art analysis

'Flowers on the meadow'
by Flyingrae from deviantart.com
this piece is of a meadow at sunrise covered in daisies awith mountain/hills in the background and partly cloudy skies.
The small curves in the meadow make is seem more real. Also the grass is not standing straight up and neither are the flowers which makes it look as if their is a slight breeze. Everything is colored realistically too. The parts in shadow are darker then those being hit by the sun light. Their is also a light haze over the mountains and clouds which could be mist. It has great depth and the picture makes the meadow seem large. Although I can't tell if the sun is proportioned because or the brightness and rays coming off the sun.
The artist wanted to learn how to model, texture, and compose natural environments. (description under pic on deviantart)
The mood is calm and, personally, makes me feel as if i just woke up and am a bit dazed and sleepy. It reminds me of waking up to see the sunrise when I go camping. Its very tranquil, with nothing conflicting in the picture and the haze of the background again makes you feel as if you just woke up and are dozing looking at the scene.
I like the picture/screen shot of this meadow. Its very realistic. Not to mention it is very pretty. Funny as it sounds it makes me feel cold instead of warm though. But that may just be me. It still reminds me of waking up when I camp or go to our family cabin. We wake up early and the mountains are all misty and the grass is covered with dew, but their is no wind, and its very calming, but still cold until the sun rises to a certain height.
I want to make a natural looking environment like a valley, forest, meadow, beach,etc. This is a good example of a realistic looking natural environment and it gave me some ideas on what details I want to include in my environment.
