This short animation was inspired by one of my favorite scenes in (Iron Giant) movie. The craft is a quick low poly mesh I built in 3ds Max. The backgound is a toned down vue sky plate. As I continue to work on "Things Fall Apart", I am focusing more on conserving poly count, what is important and what I do need to get rid of to speed up render time. In some cases I hope to just render without passes. Not worrying so much about textures gives me room to concentrate on the animation.
This is my first test of Chielo the priestest of Agbala. I am still working to resolve how her hair should flow. I am not sure it works best for the type of hair worn during the period, but since she was considered a spiritual priest, that gives me room to explore a unique look. I think I am getting closer. Need to work on her face, cloth and collisions.
A close up animation of Chielo the priestest of Agbala. Her hair flow without the body mesh. When she dances around, I need to see the hair move in a dynamic way up and down. Can't wait to test this model.
