Reposting because I did manage to shade it properly.
Day 03 of Mardini - Leap

Day 3! Leap.

For some reason I can't get the branches to interact with the frog. This is the best I can do for now.
One of these days I will understand how to use vellum properly... that day is not today, but I won't stop trying! My determination is set to the max!

It can leap over tall buildings in single bound

I am having a real blast. I made a little bit more progress today figuring out the rendering and materials.
The stars twinkling is actually just aliasing, haha.

I love scifi so much and I want to make this effect every few months and see if I can really get it.

Overly excited leap frogs!

Took an opportunity to learn a little KineFX. Frustrating at first, but quite nice by the end.



(Edited post to switch Youtube post to Vimeo)

Here is my submission for leap! I challenged myself with this one. I am very excited by my workflow on this one. Also learned a bit about flying squirrels.

KineFX (starting to really love it) drives model with a couple vellum sims thrown in there too.

Gave myself only twenty minutes to render and upload due to various memory issues. so Im pretty happy with it.
