Colouring/rendering experiments!





Based on Pocoyo we decided that texturing was only going to over complicate a design that benefits from simplicity, and have therefore decided to turn our attention to rendering and After Effects to give it sparkle! Obviously we are still going to need to delve into UV mapping to texture the hat with the ladybug design, and will need to learn how to paint the bug designs onto the bag, but other than that anything else is unnecessary.

Above is a quick test: the top image is the basic colour layer rendered out in mental ray, with the colours unadjusted. The below image is the colour layer with an occlusion layer, overlayed in after effects. The image was further altered with the colour balance, and brightness/contrast tools. As you can see the difference is immense, and it goes to show what more we could accomplish if we used more than the very basics of the software.
