Hey everyone!
I just signed up, I was brought over here by dannyngan (teacher) and scopa (fellow student).

I'm a student at the U of Oregon, just finished 3D Imaging, will be starting 3D animation production next term- so be prepared for lots of questions!

I would like some feedback on the project I just turned in.
I still consider it a work in progress, but I'm happy with what the class was shown.

a sequence of stills can be found at:
https://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~rcarve...umi/start.html

just click on the images to continue.

Things I will be adding/ changing:
I will be adding a hanging lamp in the japanese room, and probably developing the whole room a little further.

At the initial design stage, the monk was not a central character, so I did not spend much time building him, and it shows- this will be the longest stage of revision, but he needs to be completely re-designed and modelled.

The temple needs to be retextured, and a little more time needs to be spent integrating it into the scene.

The final scene needs a few more frames.

This is a fully animated piece, but for now I only have stills uploaded.

Thanks!
Robbie

hey I like it! I like the NPR style on the garden section. It's an interesting blend of colours.

Some of the things in the room bug me a little though. I can see some dodgy procedural textures on your painting's border for example. I would texture map that to keep it like the rest of the piece. The kettle looks a little squashed as well.

You know what might add to this tremendously some volumetric lighting. You know with some nice dust particles floating around and stuff. I think that would add a lot t o the ambience of the room (which I feel is a little lacking at the moment).

Lighting wise I think you're doing ok, I would tone down the glow on the middle window part though.

Cheers
Alan

Thanks for the comments!

I've never fiddled with volumetric lighting, but I definately agree that would help, so ill give it a shot.

The border on the painting is a texture map, but I need to tweak it a bit more.

I want to add an actual oudoor section, with a deck and maybe a rock garden below it, the glow was there to hide the fact that there was nothing beyond the room.

Thanks for your feedback!

Looks very cool. Interesting concept. I think the glow works, atleast in the final shot where he enters the 'real' room. I'll be sure to check out the final anim. Not much to crit on.
