Officer Murphy Revealed!
Day 4 was spent finalizing the texturing on our lead character, Officer Murphy. We decided right from the onset of the project that we would be going for a Non-Photorealistic look to the film for two reasons.
First, NPR allows you to really accelerate production by simplifying your lighting rig for each shot. With less lights to worry about, you can get your scenes set up and rendering faster.
Second, we really like the “toon” look. We’ve used a combination of shaders, textures, and post-processing techniques to get a look that replicates the cel-shaded stylings of anime and cartoons.
Officer Murphy is based upon the Daz Michael 3 character, with the Real World Heroes – Police clothing and props set.
