here are a couple renders so far. still have a couple hours before

everything is done with the office. still have to comp in the sky.

before end titles w00t:

Act IV - end

recolored and retimed galore!

intro v15 

new pose for 3-4 guy

Now more integrated to the other acts w00t!:

Here’s the idea for the more finessed graphic look of Act IV

Act IV testv5

updated the tower badge to be .78niner and .9somehting or other. i really did measure and it is correct it just seems weird they didnt round up. wonder if they measured with a microscope. also fixed the monitor screen to be correct and various other scene stuff for organzation and render times.

w00t!

Here’s the workprint. You may want to prep them that it’s a bit frankenstein at the moment (if they’re not used to viewing roughs) - the audio has the gaps needed for titles/pacing etc., mainly between acts. That should be easy for you to finesse later.

At the moment - most 3d is wireframe, and there’s about two areas that are storyboard that will look the same as the already designed/animated Act IV pieces.

I think showing it this way may actually be good - gives a healthy respect for just how much work goes into the final piece. Also - the final will look 1000 times better rather than just ’somewhat better’ than the rough - which is also good. (I like my roughs ROUGH)

For the quality of the final renders, if they’re concerned, you can show them these (finals will have sky in the background and of course vPro Logos):

yes - hair and a phone cord - w00t!

Act IV Preview

Here’s the going’s on for Act IV - just a few seconds
I’ve set it up so that changing what’s on the screens won’t be a problem. Just let me know how they should be represented.

Act III v2 - highly compressed

Hey Scott! Here’s my .max file for all the parts i modeled of the non-vPro Office

Can you put burgundy carpet - different sign - etc. It’s SUPER fast so this is not a huge time-need-er…

After this is rendered i’ll do some overlays for it.

Non-vPro_office.zip 

lookin tyterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

And with all that craziness - we are now almost back on schedule.

Take a look at v3 of the schedule for what we have left to do. It’s non-stop now!

AltirisSchedule_v3.doc

Next milestones:

Wed. 14th - 80% DONE

Friday 15th - 100% done (in parts) - complete - finished

Sunday 18th - Finessed, edited, delivered to Peter!

Monday 19th - celebrate… or drop dead.

EndProcess GraphicsLg_Prog_4k640480.wmv

and what it’s all going towards:

 act III sample < very rough - mostly without scott’s renders worked in etc.

Here’s another idea for showing how Altiris won’t let end users have their way with turning off services and system settings. Perhaps a pop up could come up after the mouse curor clicks ‘End Process’ and it can say something like the following:

Just needs some of Scott’s MEN in them…

Completely vector - animatable - LARGE.

desk reveal push cam path
cpu

it’s alive! it’s ALIVE!!!!! - finally renders without errors -
 intro_v5

alrighty then, for the next round of updates….

heres the back of the computer to match detail in the rest of the scene.

heres a shot idea of the inside of the cable. still have to tweak stuff. this rendering took way to long

gonna have to change some stuff but i like the look.

these are new shots of new people. these are poser models look better but hard to work with

just built in poser and i am going to “pose” in max way faster for me anyway. still have to figure out the hair

 

and finally tweaked exterior lighting still have to comp in sky

So - for the third time I’ve recreated this damn thing’s engine from scratch.

this ‘engine’ finally works!!!!!!

so - no real finesse time yet - but this is the idea for the other parts:

(RENDERING) - It’s 4am - it’s going to take another 30 minutes to render out - so i’m going ta bed! upload l8ah!

still defined - not as ‘poser-ish’

Here’s kind of the color scheme look i had in mind for the guy. i might have to take him lighter so his face disappears altogether (allowing veiwers to imagine the expression) - but i think, once properly posed - it’ll work.

Latest with the acts rearranged and the titles off the front.

w00t!

Animatic V4b 

heres some new updates for the office and cpu tower.

tweaked textures and lighting abit.

 

here are some test renders of the guy, Jayce these are white like you

wanted them but still test lighting. these are almost finished being rigged, but still need a tad of work to

get them were they need to be.

 

here are some new renders. just have to tweak the background to the monitor scene. and model a new light fixture

Final will be timed more with the audio - but here’s the idea of how they’ll zip in and out.

titles for ae b.wmv

Font - Intel recommended Neo-Tech

png Logos for the screens

White Screen - use which looks best - lots of whitespace around it.

// jayse

Hey Scott - Here are the reference pics i found for some of the people’s poses. Hope this helps!

guys.zip

here a preview of the office, just took the office we used previously and tweaked the lighting and materials abit

added abit more stuff to the hero desk to make it look more occupied. not sure about it though. what do you guys think

 

Jayce, i also up loaded a couple of cam path previews to the ftp site. a preview of the rotating altiris computer

and the path up to the desk. Not sure how you wanted the cam to stop on that no so i’m sure i’ll have to adjust which is no

big deal.

Here’s the look so far… may change colors but this just feels right for the piece at present.

updated for June 18th delivery

AltirisSchedule_v2.doc

Put this some where on the front of the cpu… can you make it puffy with curved edges?

Thanks~!

here is the 3d tower so far 98% done.

  

another idea - a bit more iconographic…

10am - b

So here’s what I want to do for the intro. It’s in retro colors/design and a bit grunged to suggest that this is the chaotic past. The viewer can hardly keep up - making them yearn for a simpler solution. The angles and cam moves also suggest a phrenetic and disjumbled problematic situation that the following solutions will clear away.

The end of this test shows how the second actor will start adding his problems to the mounting ‘blocks’ of symbols and text…

Intro v1 (first sentence only)

Alright - so this is not everything we have to do - but it’s pretty close and it’s 3am so i’m going to bed!

Here’s the schedule I’ve come up with. it’s another super crammed few weeks - but I think it’s doable! Let me know what you think - and what I’m missing - holidays - etc. I am good: I remembered Chelsea’s birthday.
