Elf ranger

Merry Christmas! It's been long time I didn't update my blog. I've been very busy lately. I'm gonna share some of my works later when it's done :D
Happy holiday! anyway I don't have holiday T.T cause I have to finish my work before my impossible deadline...

Hilvfeor's expression sheet

This is the expression sheet of Hilvfeor from my 3d shorts animation film "Stargazer"
It was so much fun creating the expression, and it was hell tweaking the blendshape in maya  LOL
I tried to make rich expression for him, so I made a lot of blendshapes!

This is what it looks like in viewport. And that's the controller for his facial expression. It's not that much controllers, but it's more than enough for my short animation! It can create any expressions. I should have put more exageration  and flexibelity of the skin to make him more alive. And so, here is the render result!

and a little bonus for fun, a Derp Face!

Anyway about the lighting, to test the skin shader for Hilvfeor, I tested it using reference light from "Tangled"

Tangled (right) is copyrighted by Disney, Pixar

So, here is the testing result. I'm happy with the result! :D

I know, it's a bit different (or much? lol u decide). I guess it's because they use renderman for rendering. Renderman has a really good result and soft compared to mental ray. And it's not really sync to mental ray shader, haha duuh of course =.= 

Good day! :D

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!!!
well, I'm not celebrating it here, lol. but it's just for fun
my halloween night was spent in the office, doing lighting in maya...so miserable. lol

anyway, ciyus miyapah is a slank word in Indonesia that usually used by alay people. haha

Merida the Brave

Video for AR

Here is my video that I made for AR in my previous exhibition...buuuutt, it was cancelled for technical reason I guess. Well, it was sad, but I can't say anything about that. But the exhibition was totally fun, thanks for the teams! good job guys :D
And it was fun making this short animation, even though the animation is a bit weird lol...

The cancelled character

This is my cancelled character, he has no name yet. Actually he was going into the stargazer film, but I changed the plot and I removed him in the story, lol. He is kinda a villain and a trickster. Well, you can see he annoying face of him here.

Sketches of Hilvfeor

Hilvfeor the Elf 3D final render

Here is the final render of my main character of Stargazer short animation... :D
His name is Hilvfeor (read: Hill-vee-your) lol
He is an earth elf, not the tall one.
He is calm and persistent! :)

STARGAZER, a 3D short animation

Hey guys, so this is my first post in my blog! :D

I wanted to show u guys my 3d short animation. 

I worked this all by my own, from pre production, production, and post production. :D

So, it took 6 months from the pre production to post production! 

It was a great time, and it was tiring as well. 

So, here is the Stargazer!

So, how was it? 

I was required to experimenting on everything that I learned in campus. So, any critics and comments are appreciated :)

ps: I will upload more of the concepts behind the Stargazer :D
