AGI Workshop: Day 4

By Rhea Ahuja

With today’s plan, I am going to be doing CONTEXT and METHOD.

With Chris’ suggestion and feedback on Day 3, today I will:

1. look at videos that show basic shading, HDRI Lighting and rendering 
in Maya.

2. do a lot of tests in Maya and look at tutorials that can help me create
the FX effects.

Method & Outcome:

I worked on the method today and did a lot of tests.

1st test is liquid inside a spray can. It didn't turn out the way I wanted it since the material of glass isn't coming out correctly.

Second test, I tried liquid inside a glass. I like the test but I need to use spray can since my concept is that the spray would spray out cubes instead of liquid.

Third test is of golden particles like the yolk of an egg. I am still working on this one and thinking about when the egg is cracked, there will be liquid falling but it turns out to be solid. (golden yolk) (silver disk).

Consultation feedback:

During consultation with Kate, I was confused if I should do animatics to  make my scenarios more clear but she suggested me that since my work is based on post-production I continue with tests and METHOD. So for the next days, I will work on Method and technical aspects of the scenarios.
