Primary Goal:

Deliver deliver a small piece of film with clips showing mood set in an environment textured for a) an unrealistic/painted impression and b) for a realistic impression and while doing this gain better understanding and control of the tools related to lighting and rendering within Maya and also gain some more experience with working in a compositing software (in this case Fusion).

Result:

• Finished on time

• Become faster in my work and have learnt a few tricks along the way.

Evaluation:

Summary:

• The goals for this project were achieved.

• The Project got smaller smaller during the process.

• Mood Setting overall went smoothly although I could have taken them to an even more extreme in some cases.

• The realistically textured material went smoothly.

• The ”unrealistically” textured material could have been researched better which would have led to a better result.

• Too much ambition.

What would I do differently?

• Less ambition.

• Would have researched more surrounding unrealistic texture styles and so taken it to a higher level.

• Focused on mood altogether and not include texture style as a factor in the project. This would have given the opportunity to go even deeper into the subject of lighting and mood setting which where my primary subjects of interest.
