Art Of Shelf Life

Major Project - Updated Pre-Vis

After receiving feedback from my minor project hand in, I have revisited my pre-vis and edited the opening sequence. In this version the chicken sees the brand new dolls house on display and imagines life inside the home. This prompts his journey up the shelves.

Major Project - Adding Dynamics: nCloth

To add movement to Susie's hair, I applied nCloth dynamics to the hair mesh. By using the Paint nComponents Attributes tool, the cloth dynamic was limited to the bottom portion of her hair. The video below shows various tests using different presets in the nCloth attributes.

Minor Project - Character Development

At the end of my story, the rubber chicken is found by a young girl, Susie. Susie is alone just like the toy. She doesn't fit in with other girls who have perfect hair and play with fashion dolls. When she stumbles upon the rubber chicken, she loves him because he is as unique as she is. I want her to look odd and gawky so it would make sense that the chicken would appeal to her more than a perfect 'Barbie' type doll. For her clothing designs I researched children's clothes from the 60s.
