Today marks the day that Ninja Summer Camp is complete! Check it out!
Ninja Summer Camp has been what I've been working on for a year. I've also had many other projects to work on while working on this big main one. I think I would have rather have done just a few little animations, like a walk cycle, simple 11 second animation piece, and I dunno, some fancy animations? Either way, I did try to do most of that in Ninja Summer Camp. Although it is Lip-sync heavy, there is a run cycle, there is a walk, there is acting, it's got pretty much everything that I wanted to do. On the fire walking scene, I wanted to include "burning coals," live by having glowing spots here and there, but I couldn't figure out how to do it really. The smoke itself took forever to render out. With just the smoke, I think it looks pretty good. Another thing I wanted to add would be a depth of field shader, where I'd have most things in the background out of focus, unless it references things in the background. I didn't get to do that though. If I have time in the future, I'll experiment with that a bit.
