I increased the levels on the first Occlusion map just for the purpose of uploading it to the blog as it couldn't be seen before.

"The Tales of the Thirty Pragues"

Here is a small selection of some of the photos that I took while in Prague, I would be here for days if I had to put them all up. Prague was amazing I was there with some awesome people and I'm incredibly sad to be back. Thank you Phil, Jackie and Chris for making it such an enjoyable experience and I made sure to exclude the more embarrassing pictures, videos and stories :).

Life Drawing

I also forgot to post my Life drawing from last week. I went to the class with the intention of using the drawing to help me create interesting shapes for my Adaptation B project. It was a great help then that last week it was all about quick drawings. So all these drawing range from 15 seconds to 5 minutes. Some of them I did a bit of continuous line drawing, some without looking at the images and then others just drawing images one on top of another.

Adaptation A: Infographic animation

Here is my final infographic. I had quite a few problems putting this all together in after effects, I now love after effects for the amazing things it can do but hate it for how complicated it makes the simplest things. Due to my image sizes so they wouldn't pixelate when I zoomed into them my render time in after effects was ridiculous. But in the end I'm not to unhappy with it there's still things I'd like to change but overall I'm pleased with it.

Script Updated

During my tutorial with Phil we discussed changing a few of my transitions to make them more consistent and also a lot easier to animate. So I rethought some things and updated my script.
