week 8

Focused on exploring backgrounds

Accomplished:

• Creating backdrops for Env.

• Camera Motion

• Found a working Pipeline for testing backgrounds

To-Do / Unresolved:

• Stylize Foliage

• Improve Camera

• Create BG styled like The Amazing Bone book

Attempted to use XYZ Point Cloud:

Points change size uncontrollably during renders

Used a stylized card:

Too flat

Foreground doesn’t match

Attempted using pipeline from AI Jam (Create PLY from IMG > Convert to Voxelized USD):

Too pixelated

Doesn’t feel cohesive

Attempted to reduce Voxel size:

Still feels too pixelated for the foreground

Next steps:

• Use PostShot so we don’t have to have a Voxelized BG

• Attempt getting a background from our Reference Book (The Amazing Bone)

• Stylize foliage
