Attack of the Hookworm from Mailin Berg on Vimeo.

FV Title design

FV Attack of the hookworm wip

My first wip video with an old TV Look made with After Effects! I followed a tutorial and I think it's not too bad, just very dark and certainly not fast enough so I will tweak some more :) I also haven't cut anything yet and will add title and credits too!

FV Animation Test Render (poor quality)

 

This is just the mid part of my renders put together in After Effects, I have cut a few frames and talked to Phil so will apply the changes now! I rendered it in poor quality to make sure it uploads on blogger, but I find it almost fits the 1950's feeling better than the shiny 100% quality I had before!

Scene render

The first scene that has been rendered and is an actual animation now, not just pictures!
Premiere is being stupid and not letting me playback plus I have rendered almost all files in Maya Iff yesterday and premiere doesn't accept them, so need to convert them in after effects first!

FV First scene playblast

I've changed the camera slightly to give a better view of the body swimming but I still can't explain how the worm dips to the side and down?

Fantastic Voyage Progress

Now the foot is in a lighter colour with much better light and surroundings!

FV Larvae

Aaaaaand they're cute again! Sort of.

FV test renders

First I took a render with the tail not being animated properly so it was too dark due to the shadows

 

 

 

but after animating it, the bump map stands out much more and lets the light shine onto the worm!

My first test render of the hookworm entering! FV

This video is a test for the lighting, animation and camera movement. I'll have to do it again anyways as it's not quite the right format so hit me with your feedback :D

Animating the hookworm yesterday gave me a lot of trouble as the tail tutorial inspired rig was less than perfect for the animation (and broke, unfortunately!) but after drawing out a plan on what the animation should look like suddenly it was much easier and I managed to complete at least this one! More test renders will come soon :)

Fantastic Voyage progress on foot

I have decided on model, texture, bump map and position of camera for this shot of the foot, now I just have to get my hookworm to work properly!

Fantastic Voyage Bloodstream progress

I have bump mapped my bloodstream and added a red blood cell which will get a few more companions soon. I like how the strong shadows work out, they are exactly as I imagined!

@Simon Rigging Controls glitching away from my model!

For some reason I can't move the model properly as the rigging controls doesn't stay in the same place as the model so I can't really move it up and down or forwards... What do I do?

Fantastic Voyage Test Render

I have made a little test batch render to see if my wannabe stop-motion animation works. I think it would look much better with a background, but this is a start?

Fantastic Voyage Hookworm skinning and rigging

Today I have worked on rigging and skinning my hookworm and while the skinning is not perfect, it's a start! It moves! I also have problems with rendering, weird errors keep appearing: // Error: *Fatal* (mental ray) : mental ray encountered a fatal error. The system may have become unstable. Please save the scene and exit Maya.
Does anyone know a permanent fix to this, I have imported my hookworm twice so far?

FV Blood Stream and Lungs progress

The bloodstream, will add bump maps next.

A little playblast of my lungs which are textured and bump mapped.

Which of these bump maps look best?
