Lo Res Dialroom Tapestry Test

I wanted to see if we might want to add a little wind when Ten turns the dial. It is on top of a mountain so, you know, mountain tops are pretty windy. Obviously they wouldn't move nearly this much in most scenes, just in B15.5, B17, D13. Plus I thought it might make Ten's decision affect the world a little more without having to do very much. This is 1/4th resolution with basic lighting.

Palanquin Cloth

It's still got a long way to go but it is getting tests as well. It needs to be fold more and float less but here's where it's at. Early material testing still.

Tapestry progress

More progess on the tapestries. Especially on the test where Ten runs through the tapestries. Trying to get the shape from the animatic but also have a realistic feel to them.

Also, I found a (slightly old) repo containing lots of nice utilities we may find useful.

Running through the tapestries tests

I did a few rough tests of how the tapestries will respond when he runs with his hand through the hanging tapestries. I'm looking for what material we want these to be. It looks like we want them to be pretty light and floaty but most tapestries are a little thicker. Some are as thick as some rugs. Here's some material references from lightest and most bendy to thickest. It's pretty hard to find tapestries as long and thin as we want.

Lightest and thinnest

Medium weight and thickness

Heavier and thicker

And here are some rough tests of what the movement would look like depending on the thickness as Ten runs with his arm extended through the hanging tapestries:

Problem: Large weightless curves and bends in the cloth are hard to achieve.

Using reduced gravity to the left and wind direction to the right the cloth has large flowing curves without using intense wind speeds.

Test for next week: Experiment with adding a turbulence field.
