07 Aug 2007No images to post, but I did shoot footage for my entry this weekend. Then I matchmoved it all and got started modeling.
I'm taking screenshots and making little progress movies as I go, but I kinda want to wait to post it all until my shot is in a very impressive state.

13 Aug 2007Ok, I changed my mind, I'm gonna post things as I go, for 2 reasons:
1) I have that Allan McKay CG workshop thing starting about a week before this challenge ends, so I need to finish ASAP, and...
2) maybe if I post stuff, everyone else will, too, and we can really get this thing underway.
So, I'm going for realism, as always, and here's my progress so far. (I tried uploading to the challenge system, but I got some kind of error, so I'm posting old school)
Here's my footage, matchmoved with reference geometry.

And a sketch done in Artrage of some of my ideas about how he transforms. I know it's rough, but it's mainly for me to remember what I was thinking.
And, finally, I screenshot of the beginnings of the model. I've only just begun, so nothing fancy yet. -
13 Aug 2007Looking cool so far Hype. Your robot's going to look ace comped into the live-action background. I'm jealous of your matchmoving skills! I tried using PFHoe for matchmoving a little piece I'd shot for my entry, but I couldn't get it to work properly so it looks like a static camera for mine

ALi 608 posts19 Aug 2007Nice Idea Hype. Looking for updates. -
28 Aug 2007well, i think i may have to drop out of this one. I've just been put on 6 day work weeks at work, possibly 10 hour days, I'm still busy with film festival stuff, and the Allan McKay fx class I'm taking started last night.
I'll still give it a shot if i have time, i just seriously don't see time in my near future. -
28 Aug 2007wow dude, what do you mean you don't have time to finish it.?

You will getem on the next one

29 Aug 2007I'm gutted you won't be in the competition Hype. T'is a shame, but I guess if you're doing VFX all day every day the last thing you want to do is more VFX!
Good luck with all of that other stuff (the fx class sounds interesting).
