Morning scene with moving cloth

Last night I finished one of the first acts scene and completed the cloth simulation.  I had a bit of an issue when Gertrude's arm collided with her vest and caused some strange reactions, but a few adjustments later and I have it all cleared up.  Now on to the next!

All Kickstarter rewards have been sent

With all the Kickstarter rewards sent out, I'm now sending the film to as many festivals as I can.  I'm also checking festival requirements to figure out a time when I can post the film online for everyone to see.

Progress on Gertrude's morning

Continuing work on animating Gertrude's going about her morning in the Grim episode 2.

Need to update more

I'm constantly working on these projects, and because of that it's extremely easy to fall into them and lose track of time.  Because of this I tend to not update often, which I don't like.  I'm hoping to change that and try to work up a discipline to update with anything, even if it's just to say I'm still rendering a scene.  Here's hoping I can get into it!

Good Morning

As a scene from Suicide Friends renders, I'm animating scenes for the second Grim short.  The film opens early in the morning and I want the lighting to reflect that.  Here's a look at the progress of Gertrude from Act 1 of The Grim episode, Hunter.

Heading out

Production is moving fast, certainly faster than the last one.  I'm now animating on weekends and evenings while rendering during the day.  I believe I'm starting to work up a system.  Here's an image form the latest render.

Rendering continues

3 days of rendering 400 frames for one scene.  Ambient occlusion just finished.  Someday I hope to upgrade my system of rendering and animating.
