Brent's poster

Mien Week 1

I had fun sprucing up the stars for this project. When it got down to rendering global illumination, glow, caustic, and ambient occlusion in one pass, I basically twisted my knee. However the render turned out pretty well and I plan to develop it further later on. This is what I have so far from the toon render.

some fixes

In this poster, I changed the stars from white to yellow. I also changed the position of some of the text so the poster had a downward flow. To keep the effect of space, I kept the text the same and I also kept the text white because I felt it complimented the warmer yellow color. I took a little vignetting out from the bottom and added a gradient of yellow toward the 3rd line from the top (rule of thirds). Hope You guys like the poster!!

Gig Poster - Devin

Hey, so this is it.

I had some trouble making the bubble letters round on top, but I think the point gets across. I also tried adding some background elements, like sunflowers, but I found it too distracting from the text. Is the comp too simple?

Poster Project


Here is just a W.I.P. shot of what I did so far. It looks a little different than what I showed in class cause I did it in class and then I let my flash drive go through the wash. :(

Was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for making it cooler.

Two Thursdays From Now... 3DPDX

Hey Guys,

I just found out about a pretty amazing event that it going to be on Thursday, August 5th. It's a local Portland User Group, and They are going to be meeting at Pop Art downtown from 5-7 on Thursday Evening. I thought if you were game, we could meet early, stay for most of it, then head back to school and go through the lesson.

Desc. of Event:

3DPDX (in association with AEPDX) is pleased to have Jeremy Collins, character animator at Disney Animation Studios, as presenter for our August meeting.

Jeremy Collins, has been working in the animation industry for just under 7 years. In that time Jeremy's experiences have led him to create animated performances that range from bloodthirsty zombies to animals that talk for companies like Sony Pictures Imageworks, Disney, Naughty Dog, Omation, and Three Legged Legs.

Currently a character animator at Walt Disney Feature Animation on the CG feature "Tangled", Jeremy has had his hand in animation for film, TV and video games over the course of his career. Some of his other credits include: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, I Am Legend, Beowulf, Open Season 2 and the recently released Alice in Wonderland, directed by Tim Burton.

Food and refreshment provided. Come early as seating is limited.

Loose agenda of the presentation:

* Background on Jeremy / where he's worked / what mediums he's worked in Difference between animating for TV/film/games.
* Run through Jeremy's demo reel and past projects. Process/workflow - Maya demo of different blocking methodologies. haring of sketchbook scans of personal drawings / things that inspire Jeremy. Opening a few scene files to get a feel for what an animated scene looks like in Maya. Open up for questions.
