Rendering...

Beep beep. Pretty bored at work today, thought I'd move the comic on a little. Got some headway, played around a bit, made some nice things.

Truth is I love this process. It's such fun moving these CG characters around the 3D space, tweaking their thumbs and eyeballs and every body part, making sure it seems human, getting the riiiiight camera angle.

Maybe it's a control thing. Heck if it is, who cares, control is fun.

Even the pre-render clay subsurface calculation is fun - look at the picture below - the computer has to figure out how light is going to bounce beneath skin, so it renders just the skin and figures that out with the shadows from the clothes first. It's like a weird voyeuristic preview, giving you a vague idea how the scene's going to pan out.

Slightly strange one here in that Xho doesn't have a penis (it's hidden for this shot cos he has shorts on), but trust me, it'll come into play at some point. Oooh yes. Yes indeed.

Hey-ho pip and dandy.
 

This next comic though. It's going to be good. Goooooooood.
