I’ve spent the whole day working on my VFX308 entry and I must say, I’m semi-pleased with what I’ve accomplished so far.

Somewhere along I’ve changed the concept and made my life a little easier but still a lot harder. Confused? Well, I am too.

Probably the ugliest piece of script I’ve put together so far. But I can’t be sure of that… I’ve made some ugly scripts. But what can I do; there usually isn’t time to clean them up. Altho, it might render a bit faster if I optimized it. But there’s no time for that, still lots of work to do.

Anyway, I’ve decided to give the dancer a bit of a ghostly appearance, so I made her vanish with quite some keying/rotoscoping/painting work. I can’t show the moving thing yet, since I’ve got some flickering issues on parts where I’ve been patching up the parts of the dress that got covered by the dancer. But I can show some stills.

I think it looks quite good, but it still needs a lot of work. I’m also not sure if I should make the dancer at least a bit visible… or make her hands visible in some way. I dunno yet, we’ll see.

More to come.
