Major Creature 4 Skinning

I really struggled while skinning this creature, very often weights would move onto bones on the other side of the creature, this caused me to restart on 2 separate occasions. On top of this the thigh weighting was hard as it didn't have enough loops to deform on the body. As such there is some stretching in the area however it sound cause a problem as its out the way and makes some sense where it is.

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.
