Fernage
iaian7 » blog John Einselen, 22.05.07Gaaah, it’s 6 o’clock in the morning, it’s getting light outside, and I haven’t been home yet. Still at work, waiting on renders and trying to finalize a scene so I can send it off to the render farm. The good news; I think the lighting is getting closer.
Still not really liking it, especially as it must blend with some rather picky greenscreen footage. For now, I think it’ll work… there will be adjustments later anyway, to adapt for the colours and crushes added to the final comp.
Eventually, the ferns will be rigged with full dynamics, and react to wind currents in the shot. I did a proof of concept last month, and it turned out pretty well. A little tweaking, and they should look just as wind tossed as the real thing. But that’ll come with time…
It’s 6:15 now, and security asked me to move my car. I moved it… but the parking lots are all blocked, so they told me to take it to the far parking lot. After this 10 minute journey, I’m back at my desk to finish 5 minutes of work, and then I’m going home.
Watching the sun rise is not all its cracked up to be. Goodnight.
