Daft Punk Robot Heads project
Now that I have the character rigged up i thought I'd start a new page and begin with some simple images against lights and lasers and the like. These images in the bg are just googled pics tweaked n blurred a bit but otherwise they are the renders straight out of maya. I've tweaked the jacket texture too adding some detail around the body. I particularly like the green image.
Couple of stills from my daftpunk robot project (I seem to do robots alot lol!). I've used Boujou to motion track the camera footage. It still needs work which is why I haven't put a .mov up or anything yet and also I'm in the midst of redesigning my site so need to optimise alot of it. I've done some test composites of my robot amidst the footage tho to see how it looks...
I heard that Daft Punk are going to be doing the soundtrack or part of it to the upcoming Tron Legacy movie. With that in mind I figured it would be rude to not use this project to create a kind of collaboration between my Daft Punk robot and the moody lighting that the new Tron movie uses. I quite like these renders and I think I've found the direction this project is going to go in. The sky is actually from a Tron poster which I've just tiled a bit. I'm going to try and create some handheld camera moves by using Boujou to track my handheld camera motion to give a bit of camera authenticity. I've also, with the help of a rather excellent python script, used a rather funky voxelizing technique on a couple of characters which I've put in the background of one of the images. I would like to somehow use this effect somewhere if possible... maybe if the character res's into the environment he could kind of come in with this effect and leave in a similar blocky manner... I kind of homage to retro visuals but with a more 3d touch heh. I've got a couple of cool ideas I think will work well with it anyways so I'll be putting a test up soon...
