Here’s some old R&D renders. This one shows an individual paint stroke. First flat, then displaced and finally with highlights. The idea was to have different paint pigments, some metallic etc. based on the actual “tube” they came from – but as usual, I didn’t have time for that.
The rendering doesn’t do paint mixing anyway so it wouldn’t have been worth it.
The last image shows the same stroke repeated – so it’s a little boring. What’s noteworthy is the curving of the strokes which gives some neat effects, especially on animated objects.
This image shows the preview options available when constructing the image. Points, lines, sprites and strokes. This helps in constructing the image – the density can be visualized with Points, the direction and lenght with Lines. Finally the Strokes show how the render will look – although without the canvas.

That’s it. All done. Last Chance was completed on Dec 22nd 2009. Haven’t been online much after that.
We’re submitting it to festivals now – so stay tuned for screening news. If the festivals don’t pick it up, then we’ll host it ourselves online. So either way – it’ll be screened soon.

Slight nod to the restoration of the Tiki hut at DD! Horay.
Starting work on the final shot of the movie today. It will also feature some Tiki heads… just need to figure out where to squeeze them in.
Been looking forward to this shot for a year now – it’s the second one I boarded so it feels special. We will follow the rebirth of “man” transforming into a whale. Meaning aside – lots of swirling colors, happy trippy stuff. Exactly what we like. It’s good to end on a happy note.

Seems like the sun has moved south for the winter.
Means we have two options – hibernation or migration.
Maybe we should take a poll.
There is something about finishing a project on a sunny beach.
Either way, no sun, no pretty pictures.
… and that’s where we begin this week. Drab grey weather, rain, dark skies and serious creative block. Serious cosmic conspiracy. Tried some portobello soup as a cure, enough for one storyboard panel. Translates to 10lbs weight gain per second of animation.
