Kung Fu Panda- Character Archetypes
HERO: Po SHADOW: HERALD: Master Oogway THRESHOLD GUARDIAN: Master Shifu TRICKSTER: The Furious Five (Initially), Mr Ping (wanted Po to quit to focus on noodles, discouraged kung fu training) MENTOR: Master Shifu ALLIES: The Furious Five MOTHER: No one fills this role, although Po's Father could also be fulfilling both roles as a single parent FATHER: Mr Ping (Po's Father) CHILD: No one fills this role, perhaps Po is as he seems rather childish initially, playing with toys ect.. MAIDEN: No one to fill this role. I don't think Tigeress is the Maiden as she doesn't need rescuing and she doesn't really fall for the hero SHAPESHIFTER: Master Shifu
Hi Ollie - You shoud use three point lighting for a model in Maya (particularly one in space). At the moment (I am guessing) you only have a skydome light (thats a mid light) which is acting as a diffuser. There are no shadows as a result. You should have a 'Key light' (eg the Sun), a Mid/fill light (the sky), and a rim light (highlighting of the model from behind). In this case....a direction light for the key (the sun), a skydome for the mid/fill (the sky), and a directional light from behind as the rim/highlight.
ReplyDeleteYeah I know, I only had the skydome light in there to quickly light up the scene for a couple good renders
