more Hues / Vues/Vue tips

Good morning and good night my friends-:)


Tips for Vue6
* Large form of clouds of fog can be managed by using Plane
or cube or Sphere with volume materials
*Ecco system's density is not controlled by density(+ size)
*Work according to the shots or breakup the full seq.
*Top cam.preset is not orthographic view(Perspective)
*Do lot of attempts-:)

More Hues in CG

and the journey started from here.....

These VueS goes to.....

These following images are dedicated to Deepak
and his family

thank you Deepak,Vidya and little angel Nuthana-:)

cool softwares

For cool (and warm) people who want
to create their own world with there
own taste (little difficult to achieve the
same!! at least for me)
http://www.3dlinks.com almost all available
tool in our planet!!


and above images byVue6 PLE.
almost all the major tools have these kind of versions
to try,feel like living at the right digital age creations-:)

Advanced heartfull happy new year wishes to all

Little busy with (Vfx) film works would like to post
and share some more thing which am learning,SOON-:)

Any how here is my Studs Superman Version!!







Looks like he himself become superman,good thinking
and good attempt.

My student's work:Mogan

Some WIPs of Mogan attempts,very hard working ,
quick learner and good student.

Lot of Diamonds!!

I feel combustion is one among a cheap and best tool
for post production and got very good keyers too!!

Posing & Rendering

Finally(stage01) got into Mentalray-SSS
feel bit happy with my attempts-:)

The great facial rig & textures from Mr.Jason Osipa,
Stop Staring: Facial Modeling and Animation,wonderful guide
for modeling,rigging and for animation too!!(facial)
and I just focus more at Posing & Rendering.
(check out some interesting links
for Mentalray stuffs in the last post)

Details:

A.Maya-Raytraced-Bilnn,Phong,PhongE
with basic lighting(3point:Key,Fill & back light)



B.Maya-MentalRay,FG but no AO(amb.Occ)
with basic lighting(3point:Key,Fill & back light)

C.Maya-MentalRay,FG but no AO(amb.Occ)
with basic lighting(3point:Key,Fill & back light) + more tweaking.

Sculpting In Maya

I started with rough blocking(after some
sketching Session ( anatomy study))
Smoothenmesh once and add some more details
and repeated the some procedures
for two more times got result without going
to Zbrush or Mudbox!!


OK!!Its is another simple attempt to push the Maya
and the hardware to some more level to enjoy :)
without arguments the Zbrush and Mudbox
are better thanany other 3D Tools and
my favorite one Mudbox.

and the shader is Blinn with samplerInfo

Maya Mental Ray Lighting Shading Rendering 02

Few more test shorts not the final stuff...

has some more problems with glass shadow and left it because
I am focusing more on lighting :)

Pretty and handsome Lights

These few stills are lit by Maya native lights
(nowadays this is become traditional lights
because of the plug ins)

used raytraced shadows and we can see the raytraced
results interactively with mental ray IPR !!! and back
to Maya's native renderer to render the final result.

and see u soon

Get caught into MentalRays....

OOoo my God I can't go away from the colors
thank God
for the eyes and wonderful creations

1.dgs shader is very good for all the metallic surface finish
but got to go very hard with bump!!
(as it's own photon shader for better caustics)




2.dielectric shader is too good for solid but transparent and
semi transparent again bump mapping requires some
extra efforts !!
(as it's own photon shader for better caustics)



3.dOf and round corner are supporting well to get some better results



4.car paint phen.and even this one too needs the efforts (little)to get bump!!




all those images took arnd.14mnts to render (512\512)
after optimization.


Here is the pFx and raytraced output work little more to
save render time when ever possible,but can't match on
some areas with MR.


(can get better result with layer render plus post production)
and the journey continues..................................................................................

Medical Animation

stills from Medical Animation

Foot Switch

Medical Animation - Project
(portion of it)

CG works - Sun Moon

completely done by using Maya(only)

Mr.Muns
