Class 3: Introduction of Idea

During the first week, Team Mystic was involved in getting our ideas set, and we ultimately decided to go with option 1, the Digital makeup on the human. The way we will accomplish this will be with cracks on the on the actor along with having the eyes glowing in the dark and going for a more horror theme. We have decided to have the actor touch an obelisk and that is when the transformation will happen.

My responsibility towards this project is to simulate a flag with a unique triple triangular shape along with having a grass simulation. The grass will be simulated fully in Houdini with a Vellum groom and sim, while the flag will be created in Marvelous Designer; and simulated in either maya or Houdini for the final results. Another responsibility I have is to be responsible for lighting and rendering for all the shots; which I am leaning towards doing in Maya because I have more experience in lighting in Maya.
