Left over NURBS Models in Shot 2

I really have no time for prepare gif images, cause i lost my consumer VGA card GT440 so can't do quality hardware rendering via OpenGl or DirectX11. So I rendered shots in one by one for each prop. All done in NURBS. all models are 100% NURBS. All shots rendered in Maya Software Renderer.

All Inspired by Pixar's Monsters.inc scare floor scene props.

Modeling the Props for Set 1, using NURBS

In the 2nd of the Semester I learned all the stuffs & cheats related to NURBS modeling aka Non Rational Bézier Spline. For Boost up my modeling skills in NURBS I have decided to model all my Assets.

Sculpting Assignment - Building the Armature

End of January 2014, I had my sculpting assignments to be complete in my 1st semester. Exam is; to submit a full body Character with clay modeling,

First I made the Armature with the help of my dad. I build my armature very Strongly, because we don't have here polymer clay. our clay will easily Crack within a few hours, if we don't pour water rapidly in to it.

Visual Language

In These days I learning something about Manipulating Time and Space. It's the the main purpose of an Editor in a Film.
After that I heard about Andrea Tharkovsky the great Russian film maker. And some more about his book Sculpting in Time. After Some history lessons i discovered who is the father in the modern cinema the D.W.Griffith.

So step by step learning from those legends activities in history,we can get a little idea about Extended Images & Novelty in Cinema.

Mostly These Type of Storytelling came to Camera after Andrea Tharkovsky discovered this.
