More On Both Projects

So, this weekend has been .. well to say the least really busy.. and never ending.. sleep is going to feel quite good come monday night.. maybe if i am lucky...

anyway..This weekend I continued working on the hamster project placed a a new fur set up on the final model.. As of right now I have 5 fur descriptions on it.. some need to still be tweaked but its coming along. I hope to get the skin on it with subsurface relatively soon, that is once i learn subsurface in houdini... or figure out a way to export in maya and go that route... Below is a breakdown of some images starting Thursday to Sunday night.. to show the progress of the fur work.

Final ( below) as of right now.. Work still needs done on the wiskers and ear fur but its coming along

Along with the fur, I went ahead and started lighting a new scene, the longest of the scenes, for alex's animation project. I do have to say I am very happy with where this shot is going. Getting this shot to this point has set a color scheme and style for the piece and it will make it easier on the rest of the shots... below are two images of the shot..

( Shot 4b : Frame 491 )

Alex hopes to get the shot finished by Tuesday so I can go ahead to render the whole shot out.

Along with both those projects.. I also figured I would state , I finally fixed the flicker problem on a project I started last year, I have been working on other projects to get together a reel for the career fair and other opportunities ..
