Here is the latest assignment i just finished up for Digital Lighting,Texturing and Rendering Class (mouthful). The assignment was to pick a real life image with interesting lighting and attempt to mimic it as best as possible. I chose this image because of its soft lighting and its complete contrast in feel and setting to my previous assignment (still life). I feel happy with it for the most part but i do feel some of my control was limited – this was the first time i attempted the use of Mental Ray and it felt a little different, but definitely good to mess with.

These sketches are from Sunday when almost the entire Art Center Design College Animation Club went to the zoo for a couple of hours of doodlin! Good times were had by all!

Well here is the latest and last update for this animation. I feel like i achieved the goals i set out for this piece and i think im ready to start another piece.
I would still appreciate any advice to make this piece better. I also included my original thumbnails on the movement.
