TVPaint test


First little project using TV Paint animation. Was just testing out the brushes and colors. I used the watercolor and Chinese brushes downloaded from the website. The background is based off an actual location- the view from our terrace back at home.

Thanks to Blogger, you can't see any of the texture quality of the background..

UPDATE (o6/05/2011):
Also did a multiplane test in maya (couldn't do as much with it since I originally created the background as one layer, so it may as well have been done in AfterEffects..):

Here's a better quality video. Password: tvp

dhaak dhol


Whoa! This is awesome!! I can't believe I hadn't seen this before... This is a pretty good representation of the excitement and dynamics of the festival of Durga Puja, my favorite Bengali festival as a resident of Kolkata. Love the metamorphoses. And nice soundscape towards the end too!
