Week 13 - Shot01 - 10 Edited Playblasts. More Sample Renders.

July 25th, 2006 Ahmad Al-Mahir

I’ll do a quick recap of what I did the last 7 days before laying out my plan for the rest of this week.

As you may have noticed from the title, I managed to work on a few more shots since my last update. I believe I’ve animated almost half the total number of shots. Of course not all of them are entirely finalized yet. However, I’ve edited them into the proper sequence so you can see the progress up to this point.

I’ve also done some more render tests to see roughly how long each frame might take to render (average is 2 min on the PCs in the lab and 4.5 min on my notebook). More test renders:

Shot06 Example

Shot09 Example

This week’s main plan is to animate 2 new shots. I’ll also probably attempt to work out the exact passes involved in the final rendering and do more tests. Hopefully I can start rendering some proper shots sometime this week.
