Spoilers ahead: an action sequence is animated. Multiple tweaks on the Sprite Village. Rigging on Elder Sprite is completed, and rigging for Jay begins. A video showcasing Victoria in distress, and many other shading updates. Final lighting on two crucial moments. Plus: initial work from the team's new animators.
This week Rik, Pablo, Javier and me have continued working on the haircut sequence and almost finished!
This week I wrapped up my work on the Sprite Village Set. All of this work should be enough for the sequence of shots of 40-Village. After that I updated the mushroom grove set to work with animations in the sequence 130-Snacks and moved on to put together the set file of the Yew Tree for the sequences 90-Yew and 120-Drown. More on that next week.
Finished Elder Sprite who is a big ball, and got started on Jay who is a big cylinder! Also rigged the snacks, and some other stuff.
This week I got around to finally pick up a whole bunch of shading tasks that have been piling up while I was busy fixing breaking files and preparing our pipeline for the work to come. So I'm really glad that I could do the full shading passes for the distressed versions of Victoria and Rex and do the shading of Rex' cricket bat. Besides that I reworked the patterns of the sprite dots so those can be finalized and picked up some minor things that were left-over, but of course there is always also a little bit of breaking files and geometry nodes design on my agenda. So yeah, busy week!
Among other things, I completed the lighting of the scenes 070_homerun and 110_rextoria this week.
Between meetings, dailies, reviews and production, i managed to squeeze out this little test with the ladybug. Ultimately this will be done with some proper controls within the rig, but just to test how this feels with Grease Pencil.
It's my first week on the project!! I've made some cute sprites idles doing cute things to use for BG. Are they the most adorable and most innocent creatures ever? Find out in Sprite Fright!!
This week Nacho and I have been working on sequence 060 (scratch). Almost finished at this point =). Hoping to finish it next week. Enjoy!
Started Phil retopology. Completed his clothing, shirt, shorts, sandals, with some revisions addressed.
