Robotrio: Cast and Dant at Home

It was an excellent experience working on a number of posts for Ace McNacho's in-universe blog, and for my last post there, I wanted to add a little something special. With that in mind, right after the events of Robotrio's first season, here are Cast and Dant, both safe and sound! The first image was my pure Blender render, while the second reflects some changes I used in Gimp to add some depth-of-field style blurring and slightly change the lighting (I could've used Photoshop, but why not go open source?).

 
 
Among other things you may have noticed, I've (ethically) given Cast an upgrade! He now has new hands with three fingers, shoulders that can rotate independently from the torso, separated eyes that can allow for more dynamic expressions, feet (invisible though they may be), and a new mouth based on a tutorial Lei found for me!

In the future I'd like to make the house a bit less clean-looking to be more realistic (it looks more like a vacation house than a garage-style house at the moment, though the partially deflated couch cushion adds some history), but by and large I like how it turned out!

Seven Quick Takes Friday

Image
So, it's been over a month since my last post and I haven't done a thing.  This is partially because I was: a. in New Jersey with my grandparents and cousin in early early July. b. packing up for summer camp in later early July. c. earning merit badges in summer camp for a week in mid-July. d. this is late July.  And next week I'm going on a family vacation. On to the other excuses for non blogging what's been happening: 1. Of course, there are all the minor details like my birthday , earning a learner's permit , signing college applications, etc. 2. Back with computer animation, I am happy ecstatic to announce that someone has downloaded my TARDIS model !  Somewhere, someone is using it for their own projects!!! 3. Speaking of downloads, I have downloaded and am coloring a Tardis interior from the same website.  To tell the truth, I actually like it that downloads all start out colored gray; it gives the person working with it something to do.  O

Finally--a Physical Mattework!

Here it is!  Using the same technique used in Star Wars* (although a bit shakier and with less axes) I've done an actual green screening/mattework using my brother's birthday present! It looks a bit cheesy, but I'd say a lot of the trouble is that the lighting was a bit wrong.  As well, an iPhone, despite recording at Super HD (aka 2.1 Megapixels=not actually that high), isn't quite at the professional level of video cameras.  Either way, the problem was that if I'd try to take away certain shades of green, parts of Oob's Ninjacopter would also disappear.  *Star Wars: instead of moving toy ships on Popsicle sticks like everyone else, Lucasfilm had the cameras moving while the detailed ships stayed still in front of a blue screen.

I've Uploded a 3D Model!

Image
I've uploaded my Tardis model to 3dcadbrowser.com , a website used to upload--and download--3D models.  Apparently, there are multiple different 3D model upload/download sites, such as Turbosquid , where I got several Dalek models which I was too slothlike/ lazy amateur and inexperienced to make on my own. Here's my Tardis: http://www.3dcadbrowser.com/download.aspx?3dmodel=62766 Please note that as I'd slept through my high school transdimentional engineering class, I have yet to make it bigger on the inside. I hope to upload more of these later on!
