TMNT Complete Episode Work/Image Thread

[Shredder565]

A few models are going to get re-done from scratch. The turtle Van is one of them. this one is going to be higher poly and have a fully tricked out interior. The interior is going to be tough to nail down, because it changed from episode to episode....

will have to choose the most common look and go with that as 'cannon'

[Shredder565]

trying to add more detail to the rough shots.... so far, one of the toughest yet. scene-088. less than a minute away from the first act break. trying to do all these shots in order so hopefully you can see the evolution or de-evolution of it over a years time so far.




new turtle van model, now with the start of an interior taking place.

scene 095

a year to get the intro and about a minute awa from the first act break. doing shots in order so hopefully it can show an improving skill set.

Looking good. The only thing I wonder while looking through all the pictures in this thread is if you shouldn't use ink lines only for the outlines of characters and perhaps add desired "internal" ink lines by creating them as part of textures for more consistent results than the ink lens...
(I am assuming you're using the toon ink lens shader )

yep, that's the shader . Right now, characters have internal and external ink lines active, with backgrounds only internal or none

It only took a year to get this far, 4 more shots to go after this one. Shot 100. Since Act 2 is only 4-5 minutes, I'm going to try and complete that by August. Looks like I won't meet the deadline of rough shots complete by September

[Shredder565]

Two hours later, scene 100 finished rough..

[Shredder565]

3 hours later, fully animated and articulated legs. Now for the dome bottom and it'll be on to working on krang... you know iI was actually good at this, I could earn some money.

[Shredder565]

shot 108. finally fixed what bothered me about the original

[Shredder565]

that's a bit more like it....new android done. act two started

[Shredder565]

a few more minor color changes on the technodrome. I'm trying to make every other panel a different color so it brings out the details in things like the steps, radar eye, Dome panels, wheels, a bit better when rendering. seems to be working

[Shredder565]

Update to CGI technodrome model, video

[Shredder565]

finally render time

Wow that's a challenge!

I am color blind . I try to match things as close as I can see them, but without taking skin samples direct from the show, and having about 200 of those lying around, it's sort of hit and miss...
.

This color sampler might be of help, it has a "color deficiency preview":

Just an idea, maybe setting the colors there and then using the colors from the top area will work as an "inverse mode" if that is even possible.

Personally I don't see the lack of 100% color correctness to be such a problem. It's a work of art (and a labor of love, by the look of it). It won't be a color correct reproduction, but it's quite interesting nonetheless. And the "original" interpretation of some colors just adds to the artistic value of the endeavor IMHO...
