Working afternoon shifts definitely gives me adequate time to focus on this set in the mornings before I have to head to work! So before I started my animation, I followed up on my commitment to clean up the space a bit:
I think this is an improvement over yesterday. There's less contrast in the background and not a ton of distractions off to the left (though I still need to delete the chair and table, and maybe throw a potted plant in that corner). Additionally, the foreground is now obvious, and the counters aren't as messy and distracting - just a nice simple pattern to imply texture. I added some detail to the top of the room that I'll end up changing down the road as well.
Next, I added another character to the scene. The all important barista:
It's just my character without a beard and a few color and detail changes. Why work too hard? I started by having him pull a shot of espresso:
Once I was decently happy with that, I convinced him to make lattes in perpetuity:
I was happy with the end result on this particular animation. That's it for my work on this today!
But, there's more to come.
Stay warm and toasty!
