Here be the first animated animatic! Marvel, comment and critique!!
Crosshares Previs 14th September.
And here's a newer one with better shots, nicer animation and better cutting. Albeit, no soundtrack...

Deglossed around the edges
Here's a new version: better reflections, slightly dodgy AE comp instead of Shake... Animation isn't quite as embarrassing this time...
Refined rendertest...
Shadows need to be tweaked to an agreed level. This is much less on the stylized purple, more to a darker blue.
Bugger'd hand and dodgy textures fixed too. Reflection now only on the outer gloss at about 0.2 reflectivity. Shiny.
H264 compression washes out the colour something fierce.

How to renderlayers...
That last post was a bit wordy. Here's a .gif that makes life a little easier. If it doesn't play on this page, just try clicking it.
...or not... Doesn't look like blogger likes animated gifs...
Rendertests engaged...
Prepare to be marginally amazed:
Shot 32 rendertest.
Whatcha think?
This render took about an hour and a half for 130 frames, split into:
1 background beauty pass
1 background amb occlusion pass
1 sky texture a la Brad
130 character beauty pass frames
130 character amb occlusion frames
There's 1 directional light for key (colour white, intensity 1,) fill (80% grey,) rim, shadows (raytraced, 1 degree, 5 depth)... and 1 omni for a little face detail (0.2 intensity, specular on, shadows off).
I don't have any clever naming conventions or path structures yet, but in theory this is gonna work quickly and painlessly. Comp'd in Shake with a bit of blur and distance fog.
W00t!
ALSO!!
Watching this at the proper framerate, I realise this particular animation sucks some serious testicles. I'll be redoing a lot of animation and religiously playblasting - just to get it absolutely perfect.
And Neil, check out his wrist. We'll need to repaint those weights a little, I know Orange has something with his finger too...

Blast!
Another explosive experiment. This one I just stole from the Visor. Looks cool though.
Another explosion test.

Freakin' out
This smile is the widest I can make with blue's current controls. Can we add a 'big grin' or something so he doesn't look so freaky?
Also: a picture of some procedural animation gone awesome.
