Studio 2

WEEK 8:

There's still a lot to fix. The sound is nearly finished; I need to finalize my timing and send it to the sound designer for the final sound adjustments.

I need to re-render missing frames and begin cleaning up for the final.

WEEK 7:

Creating a fake glass and Smuge:

Final Result

Breakdown:

Used noise and animate the frequency to create the smudge. I rotated the window and added noise to make it look like there was glass. Using noise to mask the roto and animate the frequency to create the smudge.

The two shots below are close to being Final

Add additional smoke and duration to the shot

WEEK 3:

The rendering for the shuttle launch is currently taking 1 hour per frame. I'm working on optimizing and troubleshooting before proceeding with rendering the entire sequence.

-The left shot is before launch, and the sky serves as a temporary placeholder while I adjusted the greenscreen and ensured the composition was correct.

-I changed the angle of the right shot to do less compositing

Earlier, I rendered the interior of the shuttle scene in Maya, but I have now transferred all of it to Houdini.

WEEK 2:

Day 2:

I don't have any new updates, I've been refining the pyro simulation and caching it out.

I received the rigged character from Peter's friend, gave it to the animator, and waited for them to animate.

I add an additional layer to the smoke, under the launchpad.

secret shuttle on a mission!!

Day 1:

-I re-simulated the pyro to increase the smoke.

-I changed the simulation for the scene below, and I plan to re-render and re-light this shot with the new simulation. Peter's friend is helping with the animation, but he hasn't heard back yet.

Sound Designer:

-I met with three sound designers who are eager to assist with the project. They were prepared to begin producing sound, so I provided them with the first scene.
