Down To Earh Short Sneakpeak

[3DGFXStudios]

Hi all. I wanted to show you some frames of our graduation short. I'll post the movie soon. What do you think. Models where made in Lightwave. Rendered and animated in Maya2008....
Some of the shots where rendered in Lightwave as well. Some of the shots where even animated in Lightwave. (don't tell anyone huh :hey:)

O uhh. the movie is about a Mob guy that's thrown out of an airplane and there is this bird who can't wait to eat him! .......

:rolleyes:

why animate in maya if I may ask?

thanks,
Derrick

We had to do it in Maya because of the academy rules. But I'm a real tenacious bastard so I used Lightwave when needed. They where not happy at first but later when the saw the result they didn't care any more. They where actually very happy with the result. I have had so many fights with these guys about using Lightwave. I'm glad that is over now......

By the way....If you are in the Netherlands you can see it at the Dutch FilmFestival in Utrecht....

AWESOME! I totally dig the style of these!!!
Nice clean style, great colors and unique appearance!

Awesome again :D

[Hopper]

Wow, that's super smooth looking. High quality.

[3DGFXStudios]

Cool you guys like it! :) We tried to get the designer toy look :D

[Kuzey]

I love the designs and the look of it...super work :thumbsup:

Just a small thing, if the guy had a gun, why not use it before being pushed out of the plane or is that explained in the short.

[3DGFXStudios]

hahaha your the first one that noticed that. Kinda funny because a lot of people have seen it already and didn't notice that at all. The guy is really dumb i guess ;).

[Kuzey]

Ah ah.....he should have gone to school first.

I have a knack for those kinds of things :D

Good work and good luck with the festivals.

ps. I presume you modelled the characters since they were made in LW.

Kuzey

[3DGFXStudios]

Yup. I modeled every piece of 3D geometry in the movie. I did the lighting and rendering, a big amount of texturing/shading (didn't do the characters textures) and I also did a little bit of animation. And I rigged some little things....

[3DGFXStudios]

Damn...someone bought our movie.... now I can't put it online.....
there is always that.... mmmm

[Glendalough]

Are those 4 shots in LW or Maya?

[Red_Oddity]

Finally done i see...looking very nice, gonna take a llok at it then at HAFF.
So you have time again to come and get a cup off coffee at HoS?
We'll show you how far we are with the other project you have been modelling on.

[3DGFXStudios]

Glendalough: The modeling was done in Lightwave but the rest was done in maya. There where some exceptions. The first and the last shot where done in LW. And The openeing shot was animated in LW....
