Lip Sync Problems

In a previous post i have posted the head of a character that i was going to add lip sync to, after a lot of messing about i found that i had made the moth of my character too big. This meant that i was not able to model the lips properly. I shall post the new head and all the different mouth shapes very soon.

Invisible Architecture

The above pictures are the start of my invisible architecture project at university. My Idea is to create pixel art in a 3D environment. I will be recreating classic game scenes from 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit games. I will be combining 2D pixel art work with 3D art work. When I have completed the scenes I will taking renders from different angles to show how the work differs depending on the view, the two render views I have in mind at the moment are a traditional 2D look (front view) and a top left perspective view.

I have just started this project as you can see in the screenshots above and have come across a problem. I am unsure whether to create the character of Mario as a single plain and colour each segment to create the pixel look; or whether to go the traditional way and create the pixel art block by block.

I will have ago at each way, but I think I already know the single blocks to create the work will look better as it won’t look as clean and will add a character to the work and stays true to the pixel art even though out of the two ways I expect it to be more time consuming just on the practice I have done already.

Character Lip-syc

I haven't posted anything for a while now, so i thought i should put some work up. I am currently working on a making a character in 3D and adding sound and applying a lip-sync to it, the image is just mock of my head that i have created. Also watch this space as i will be posting more 3D work up here soon!!!!!

progression of my building that im creating using a tutorial when i have the patience cause its taking me a while to get use to the tools in 3D studio max

Earth and Moon short clip

This is just another quick render of my first scene, except its a short clip, i created this so i had a idea about how it may look. There are still bugs with the clip and i need to create a more effective star field. I thought i would post it just to show the progression and how it looks in motion.

Earth and Moon

This is just a quick render of a segment of my first scene for my dystopian animation. This was created in 3D studio Max and i will be uploading a low resolution video shortly, just waiting for it to render.

3d builidng start

This is the start of my first building in 3D studio max, this is just a quick render. I will upload my finished building in the near future.
