neonshaun Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Title: Giant Freakin Robot This is my first student project for studio 2 at scad. It was a collaborative project involving several people, months of hard work, and plenty of challenges. Al Torres: Lighting, shaders, modeling (maya+MR) Bum Joon Kim:modeling, animation (maya) 'Neon' Shaun Galinak: Effects (houdini), supporting animation, textures Adam Flynn: Compositing (shake) Here's a low res h264 of it: http://neonshaun.com/studio/movs/gfr_web.mov A separate breakdown will be done by Monday. Hope you enjoy it! Edited February 11, 2009 by neonshaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Chua Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Looks great, although the sounds effects is kinda weird, especially the transforming part. But the animation and the looks are good! Great job! May I ask what is your major at scad? BFA or MFA? -ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neonshaun Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 post that model so we can rig it in Houdini - where it belongs Haha... I wish I could. The model is really big and clunky. The transformer was a ~100mb file referenced into another big file for all the animation and passes. It glitched out and crashed A TON. This was then exported with fbx (or sometimes obj's converted to bgeo's) into houdini. Is this how studios do it? FBX was such a headache... the only thing i could really count on it for was cameras and lights. The transformation for the bot doesn't really have a rig right now... I think bum joon made it all individually keyframed geo until it stands up... Looks great, although the sounds effects is kinda weird, especially the transforming part. But the animation and the looks are good!Great job! May I ask what is your major at scad? BFA or MFA? -ray I was hoping someone would call us out on the sound effects! They were thrown in (by me... haha) the night before the project was 'due.' None of us are planning on using the sound on our reels, so it's just sorta there for now. I'm a visual effects major. BFA with 1 semester left! Thanks for all the compliments/comments guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonshaun Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Does this work as an effects breakdown? Will studios frown upon this? I combined a bunch of elements to save time, and sped up parts where no new elements appear. The other half of the breakdown (bot/car passes) is being worked on by others in the group. link: http://neonshaun.com/studio/movs/effectsdown.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Chua Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 neonshaun: hey shaun, how are you? Regarding to the effects breakdown, I think you do not have to breakdown every single little effects. You can do a generic one on smoke, primary debris, secondary debris, primary sparks, sec. sparks and the compositing of the bg plate, Depth of field if you have any and roughly that's it. You can combine the smoke to one pass and debris to another pass if you want to. Nonetheless, it looks good and I congrats for your efforts. PS:SCAD is coming over to my country for a roadshow and admission talk at the end of this month. I will check them out. regards, -ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Looks nice, good job, but hardly original though (reminds me of Transformers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
