Ink Reveal: Progression

Just a wee progression of the ink reveal using the diffuse ink layer and the sunlight layer.

After my last tests, Tom suggested I have the ink look more watery/blurry as it appeared and to add a sort of ink wave to enhance the unveiling of the drawn map elements.

Credits sequence

Here is the credit sequence I put together in After Effects last week. It was good fun to do something a bit different for a change. Again, can't work out how to embed vimeo on blogger.

Ink Reveal: Rendered Tests

So, After I managed to have a rendering malfunction on the scene and it had to be sent of for a re-render, I used some of the existing layers to try out the inky/water colour reveal on the (what should have been) final renders of the shot.

After making a couple of mattes for the reveal, I tested the scattered-reveal first.




This was a more of a sweeping-reveal and was the preferred version for the director.
