Character Design Final Designs

After Developing the Character for a while and trying to bring up the quality of the style while also straying true to its core ideas I have settled on a design for my shark. Following the UPA Style and trying to push it forward a tiny bit.

The secondary character is a lot more fluid that the main character. with her being a jellyfish, she appears much more dynamic compared to the shark and allows some interesting dance poses in the musical that is my design conceits.

Tool Kit 2: Ambient Occlusion

Tool Kit 2: Ambient Occlusion Rendering Ambient Occlusion maps was something I was aware of from first year however this tutorial went into more detail about the shader in Arnold and as such was a really useful tutorial. Not only for the creation of good AO passes but for the knowledge I could potentially use the shader to create different effects because of the versatility of the shader. The end of the tutorial showed us how to use the AO map when composing the image in after effects of photoshop, this is a easy step however at this point a style will be shown as people will pick different intensity's depending on there eye and the effect they want to make.
