"Dino"

My main idea about the idents was to keep them very same simple design eg: background, light etc.
I will create character named “Dino” who will appear in every ident.
I want him to be funny, clumsy and interesting. In each ident Dino does something funny which finally leads to Cartoon network text and logo.

In the bottom there are some pictures of “Dino” character.




Cartoon network

I decided to do 3 idents for “cartoon network”. This gave me an opportunity to do something different and funny. I started searching for logos and idents for cartoon network, here are some:

Pictures


These are my final 3 pictures which I made for the assembly. They are all done in 3ds max. The Textures mostly were done by me, only textures for trees are downloaded from the internet and other sources. Before I started modelling I imagined that I was doing a small gallery pictures. "December", "July" and "The first of November" these are the months and topics I have chosen for my assembly. Even wonderful 3D models, lighting and textures will not help if the overall scene does not look good and interesting. When I design any picture I take under the consideration many things. Because I wanted to present my three pictures in the same way, so it was more difficult. I had to pay more attention to lighting, colours, and composition. the compositions is the most important element here. It connects all pictures together. July. July is a summer time. I didn't want to design simple beach with the sunshine. I was looking for something deep but also simple. The scene takes place on the lake. The most important are these two people on the boat. They are giving story to the scene. The environment with this light makes the picture more romantic.December. I wanted to do one picture which takes place inside building. I wanted this picture to have its own atmosphere. I did not pay attention to the story in this particular picture. Thanks for lighting the picture has Christmas atmosphere." The first of November". That was the last picture I have done for this module. From the other two that was the hardest one. I wanted to show this picture in a different way. I wanted this time something deep with strong metaphor. Every time people saying "what’s wrong with the colours?". Well this is how I imagine this day. I personally don't like it but if I had to do this again I wouldn't change anything here. I believe it looks how it should look. I don't really like describing my pictures. I prefer listening to others of what they think of them. I hope that you will find something interesting in my work.

"The first of November"

"(...)the day when sadness and hope appear together.."

Here is my finall project




There was not much modeling, but I payed attention to textures and layers. Definitely this is the most complicated project from the other two. I had to organise my job precisely.
(to design the hair of the character above I used "hair and fur" modifier, the coat is the "plane" object with the "cloth" modifier)






At first I made the backgrounds. Thanks for that I could save time for the final rendering.
(The grass in the background is made by the use of "hair and fur" modifier)


The last think to do, was to match the men with the scene. To save time of rendering I decided to set the scene as a background. Then I added the man. The plane is the object with the "matte/shadow" material which generates the shadow on the bitmap (background).
Altogether I used 8 "omni" lights and 3 "target spot lights".


This is the finall result. I wanted this picture to look like a bit chaotic and disturbed.

"December"

Here is my "December" picture. In the bottom there are some models which I have used.








To create the fire I have used "SphereGizmo" with "Fire Effect" option. I have used 13 "Omni" lights and 2 "Target Spot" lights to light my scene. To speed up final rendering I have used "Shadow Map".
Rendering time took only 50 seconds.

"July"

Here is my summer picture.
In the bottom there are some pics of models I have prepared for that project..


I didn't texture the ducks and the boat with people because I knew it was not necessary.


This is the final result. I've used only two "Omni" lights. To create grass I've used "Hair and Fur" modifier.
