Original Camera

New Camera

Humbolt v2.18 (WIP?)

I organized the animations, skelMeshes and control curve files, removed redundancies and mapped out a file naming structure. There are 68 Animations to tune and tweak. (16 soldier, 12 alien, 40 civilian). I am hoping we can weed some of the civilian animations out.

File Naming:

Soldier = SOL_*

Civilian = CIV_*

Alien = ALF_*

Event (non loop-able) = *_ANIM

Loop/cycle - begin and end pose identical with zero translation = *_LOOP

Loop-able Event - begin and end pose identical = *_LANI

SOL_idle2_LOOP 3 cycles(WIP)

Soldier base pose, shoulders squared off, feet shoulder width apart, right foot slightly ahead of the left.
I did the first LOOP and realized we needed to add the weapons to the soldiers. I'm still trying to figure out the best method. I set up a skelMesh for the weapon as well as folded and unfolded buttstock. I'm in contact with the "HIT" team to see how they handled it.

Animations and a MilSpec cargo box

I transferred motion capture Data for 32 separate takes (alien, civilian and soldier) from our shoot on Friday onto skeletons and exported them to FBX files for the rest of the team to work on. I edited and created animations for 5 civilian, 6 soldiers and 4 aliens.
Civilian rioting: power to the people
Civilian rioting: up yours
Civilian rioting: lets go
Civilian: talking on the phone
Civilian: hobble (walking with broken leg)
Soldier: toss hand grenade
Soldier hand signals: cease fire
Soldier hand signals: halt
Soldier hand signals: secure the perimeter
Soldier hand signals: rally point
Soldier hand signals: cover me
Alien: Communication
Alien: Death 1
Alien: Crouch down
Alien: Double take

MilSpec Cargo Box

I modeled this MilSpec box as a set dressing prop for Focal Length. 

F50 Hawkeye

The F-50 Hawkeye (VTOL) is a multi-role strike fighter. It can be armed with 2 underwing, 30mm cannon pods as well as 18 air to air or air to ground, optically "fire and forget" missiles. It is the epitome of brute force technology for all those messy encounters in the year 2064.

Rendered in engine (Unreal Engine 4.1). It has 4200 polys and 4 (1K) maps: color, normal, specular and emission. Maya was used to create the base mesh which was then taken into ZBrush for hard-surface treatments and normal map generation.
