Alpaca Time

So, it's time to start the alpaca model. Here's what it would look like in a 2 dimensional world from a perfectly orthographic view.

Frenchies at it again

This short is from ESMA in France, and it has some cool lighting and effects, but the main reason I posted it is because of the kids' hair. It was modeled as tufts, and each individual tuft was animated, much like we plan to do on the alpacas.

And this one is from the same school. It has some sweet cuts and transitions, but towards the end there are some really nice rock formations that we might be able to draw inspiration from.

Another Environment

In the same vein as Jonathan's previous post, I painted an environment concept using most or all of the characteristics that we have discussed. As far as finalizing an environment, we are at the point where we agree upon the shapes and physical characteristics of the environments. We have yet to finalize a "look and feel" that is unique and something that we'd be proud of. Stay tuned for more reference on color palettes and texture.

Photoshopped Environment

Here's an attempt at putting all of our environment concepts together in the same composition. We all like the trees and hills, but the rocky undersides of the cliffs are still being discussed.
