AGI Workshop: Day 5

By Rhea Ahuja

After all the production, and to conclude FOLIO 1, I revised my RATIONALE, looked at few examples on color palettes and worked on more METHOD for testing technical areas.

Rationale:

What am I making?

Thumbnail/Animated Loop of un-natural objects

Why am I making what I am making?

To explore an object beyond to an extent rather than
its own properties by exploring materiality. I will 
explore daily objects that can be created to something
interesting and abstract. To do this, I am learning VFX 
abstract to create uniqueness through look at feel. I will
focus on shading/texturing of materials, VFX, lighting and
rendering.

Context:

I looked at couple of colour palette tests and did a few render tests to test the colors.

Method:

Yesterday, there was an issue where the glass was black. Today I learnt about shaders and created simple light. With the hair paint, there's a penetration issue which I will try to solve tomorrow. I looked at many tutorials but it didn't work out and for some reason it still shows up on the render. Tomorrow I will try a new method to create the hair type of material for the paint.

Outcome:

For Folio 1, I have done technical tests and worked on mainly method. For folio 2, my plan is to either create thumbnails of renders of scenes like the ones above or to create a small animated loop of scenarios. For example, spray scenario (loop animation of liquid and then sprays cubes). Hair paint scenario ( loop animation of hair like texture keep coming out of paint can. For egg scenario, egg being cracked but golden ball falls (yolk) and etc.
