For my midterm I wanted to show a man standing in front of a chair looking off into the distance in order to use lighting, show texturing and modeling, as well as tell a story.
Research on rigging was done for correctly animating and positioning the character.
I thought that making everything as dark as possible as well as putting shadow on the character's face would really add to the mood of this piece.
I think this project turned out rather well. I love how the model turned out proportion wise as well as just the overall look. The scene looks dramatic and tells an interesting story and i learned a lot more about maya in the process of this assignment. I do however wish I could have animated the model and made this a more lively piece but every time the frame changed the model would break and contort in an unfix able way, making it impossible to animate. Next time I would love to make a more animated piece but all in all I am rather pleased with the results I did get.
