Animate session 18/10/19

Cartoon Ball
Lotte Reiniger:
Lotte Reiniger was a German animator known for pioneering silhouette animation. She used and helped develop the first multi-planar camera. A tool used to create multiple layers when making a cut out animation. Her animations where all monochrome ranging throughout the grey scale depending on how far back the layer was in a shot. She is most well known for making "The Adventures of Price Achmed" thought to be the oldest surviving feature-length animation.

 Don Hertzfeldt:
Dom Hertzfeldt is an american animator and filmmaker. His animations are often digital using modern animation processes. His style is very comic strip-esk however many of his animations wander away from the stander child friendly direction the style might suggest. His animated series REJECTED can be quite dark and self-reflective.

Tool Kit 2: Depth of Field

  Tool Kit 2: Depth of Field This tutorial came at the perfect time for me as I was already messing around with depth of field in test scenes trying to understand it. This tutorial made it a lot clearer how to use it and how powerful it is as a system in Arnold. There is a lot of functionality in the Arnold camera and as such there is a lot of renders below to show each of the settings. First is the Filter map a system that works as a sort of vignette to the camera. A well as a load of setting to do with the shape of the blur including aperture blades as well as aperture aspect ratio. These can creating interesting effects if used in a stylistic manner. The main settings in the tutorial where Focus distance and Aperture size as there control how much of the scene is in focus and where in the z axes this area sits. Filter Map. Depth of Field 1. Aperture Blades : 3. Depth of Field 2.

Major Creature 4 Texturing

  Major Creature 4 Texturing The texturing process is one I enjoy and feel confident in because of this I was able to sit through the process in a few days and generate the outcome. I came back to these textures a few days later to darken the textures over all once I saw then in Arnold. I also increased the level of dirt in the textures as they looked to clean.

Tool Kit 2: Physical Sky

Tool Kit 2: Physical Sky In this tutorial I learnt about the physical sky in Arnold and how it can be used to easily mimic time of day when rendering exterior shots for animations. Using a variation of elevation, Turbidity, intensity and Azimuth you can create the different angles of sky light you would see in real life. Other settings that can be used to push a stylistic approach include sun tint, sky tint and sun size. These can be used to create strange effects that are stylised and aren't meant to look photo real. Day1. Mid Day. Morning/Evening. Foggy Day. Stylised Lighting.
