Description YAY I won All the hard work paid off.

please and
Thank you

Contest entry for [link]


sorry for the large file size. hope the pre-loader helps. btw first time using flash ever really i did it this way cos DA is picky it seems about who can upload videos so this was the best way to do it.

I decided to make it an animation because i felt showing a still of a flying book would have been far less interesting than an animation also it was to try and make a rig that will make animating and posing a book and its pages easier for future projects.

Programs used

Autodesk Maya
After Effects
Photoshop
Flash
Mudbox(though i skipped this part cos i was spending too much time on it and when with a simple texture)

Alll Modeling,Texturing, Lighting, Animation, Rigging, Rendering, Comping was done by me

Most of the texture i use were from random 3d mags and 3D total but all edited and i generated normals and spec using Xnormal

also...

maya is great i fine it easier to understand than other 3d apps. but its still a little complex in different ways but if you download vedio tutorials on the basics and learn more as you go along you will be fine the real trick is to stick with it and research how to get around the problems u are having with a project or figure out how to do it differently its a great program MAYA FTW!

thouhg the guy a knocked off i think should ahve been higher than the other two though his comp is not perfect its better than others

but its cool now its down the the judges as long as that dragon dont come first im happy no offense to him i just think out of the two the human slavery had more effort and style behind it despite limitations

thanks hey im excited

Wow, this turned out to be really good! I liked it, Mishra! You can count with my vote ;D
I really liked the swinging of the book's pages, like wings. There seems not to be a single break, sound very natural and real.

MishraFathom In reply to JessiJellibean [2011-07-29 06:23:30 +0000 UTC]

i think over two week including render time that took about two days to finish rendering. o.o

was hard work glad you like it its not perfect but i tried my best

JessiJellibean In reply to MishraFathom [2011-08-07 17:21:13 +0000 UTC]

Wow o.o But it was worth it right! xD
Does this render all at one time? Is the computer even functional during that rendering time? I'm very curious as to how it all works

You're welcome! Hard work always pays off

JessiJellibean In reply to MishraFathom [2011-08-07 17:39:07 +0000 UTC]

Ohh, I see O.o

But what happens in the event of a power surge. Does it regularly save as it renders, or saves at the end? sorry for so many questions ._.

MishraFathom In reply to JessiJellibean [2011-08-07 19:23:51 +0000 UTC]

its cool it renders it out as a sequence of images so you can just carry on from the last image that rendered. once its all done you open them up in a program like After Effects or something to make the sequence into a movie type of thing
