Just to inform you now that I have completely finished my degree (which includes the completion of this project). The visuals and DVDs were burned about 2 weeks ago and since then I've been taking my time adding extra bits to the research and development file and the DVD case.

This his been an incredible experience and I can't wait to get started with the next one following my busy birthday month.

A Soul's Tale

This is my final piece for submission. I am proud of what I have achieved with Maya and After Effects.

I have noticed issues that can only be corrected by going right back to the source which will set my finishing time back by at least a week and so I have chosen to constructively criticise them in my evaluation and pose solutions for what I could have done to get around them.

Second draft

Just waiting on good quality narration, title, credits and rendering scene. Music could do with tweaking for timing.

First draft (minus last scene)

Also missing the brown soul falling asleep, various scene bridges, fireflies in dark scenes, re-rendered fire scene (with green and brown leaves and fixed ncloth) and some scenes run too slow or too fast.

More to come

BOOOM clouds!

Traps Scene Camera 1 Part 2.

Traps scene 2 (camera 2 render to come tomorrow)

As if it's just taken 20 minutes to upload this two second clip. This probably needs a more prominent reaction.

Hill scene camera 1

first scene attempt 2 WITH BLUR

Just a little ncloth glitch here

Might consider putting red in the traps.

Pond Scene (Scene 2)

 Let's see how this plays out!

Earth scene

Horizon is obviously an issue here. And speed. FIX THIS.

Red scene (Scene 3)

nCloth fail at the end. Also long black bit because I forgot to the change the composition length in After Effects.
And my leaves apparently did not want to stay green. So now they are white. Fantastical leaves.
Pretty happy though for a first try, these things can be corrected if I get time later.
