So the character is done. The performance also... So now I had to wait to get the data from the motion capture studio. It took them uuuuuuh... I thought 3 days. So in the spare time i wanted to create a poster from my character just for fun. To kill some time.
Saturday I was in Utrecht city (city in the Netherlands) where I saw a big poster of H&M. Its a big.. I mean.. BIG clothing shop. Full of lines of (mostly) woman fighting for the last discount articles. You have to see that, its kind of fun just to watch them going frenzy. I thought maybe its fun to make a poster just like the one H&M uses, but then with my character. So... again goggled some reference
Created a simple background, studying the lighting of the real posters from H&M to simulate the lighting. And here is the final pose of the character. Now its time to render
I made only two render passes. One occlusion, and a Color/specular render. Now its time to startup Photoshop for creating the final look of it. Compositing yeahhhhh :
Here you can see the difference in Photoshop. Left is the color render only and on the right side the render with occlusion and color correction
And here is the final render with the logo and price tag :D. Isn't it cheap for such a nice shirt haha
Outro:
In the time I made this poster the data from the motion-capture studio came in. Just in time. It was the first time that I used this workflow.. The combination of maya/uvlayout/zbrush but it really was nice to work this way. Going to explore it more but wanted though share it with you.
Also I want to thank Sander Kamermans for the great acting in the motion capture studio !! Two thumbs up !!(couldn’t do it by myself).
Ow and btw... here is a shot from the character in my final animation (acted by Sander Kamermans). Go to my website ( http://www.purc.nl) to view the animation
If you want to ask me something about... well anything, just mail me at: breas_401 at hotmail dot com
For now, thanks for watching and hope you like it.
