Week24 - No Sleep

Im bummed that i didnt get the movie finished for hand in date an i know that i will be marked down because of it but still, id dont think i could of worked harder. There hasnt been much help from anyone. Still i think i can fiish intime for the show and thats what matters to me and thats my goal im almost ready and i know i can do it, just means i wont get any sleep.

oh well its overrated anyway

Week24 - Cameras all Set

i ahve just set up my cameras for every shot that i will need now all i need to do is animate them still its nice to have them all set and ready to go i will begin to animate them hopefuly with the help of some others while rob continues to finish texturing. i imagine ill still be doing a bit of texturing aswell

Week23 - Aspiration Point

Ihave laso almost finished now the location aspiration point. I aam 50% done with the texture and have modeled everything that i need too. I will go back to finishing the town as when i ahve modeled the trees and other asets i can then bring them into the aspirtion scene to fill it out.

Week22 - Town

Iv pretty much finished the groundplain and i have also modeled the ground plain. The second house has been finished and i have arranged the three houses in the town. i have modeled and textured the trees and a few flowers.

the town isnt complete but is ready for Blockout and animation.

After the hand in date i will be able to get help from a few people who will have free time to animate.

Week21 - The Plan

Iv started to realize that it is unlikely that i will be able to finish my film for the hand in date. I had schedualed to have finished the blockout by now but that doesnt look like its goint to happen. The last thing that i need to be done before i can start blocking out is the layout of the enviroment.

Just the groundplain needs to be complete. So i plan on rushing this out, the first thing i neeed to go through is all the scenes that are in my entire film and cut the scenes i wouldnt need to make "TRAILER" version of my film.

What i will do is animate these trailer scenes first and edit them together completed and then i will be able to if i have time to finish the extra scenes.

Here is the shot breakdown

Week20 - Rigging

Iv now finished rigging the boy and wieghting him he is completely done.

also casper has now just finished the wolf aswell as 13 so now the characters are pretty much ready to animate

Week19 - K9

here are the finished shots of K9 with his finished textures.

Here are the two textures he is made up of, i decided to make him two rextures bigbecause of the fact that he is quite larger that the boy and 13 and this might make the resolution on the textures blury so i gave him two.

Week18 - boy texture

Rob gave me the boy about 60% done, so i finished it. here are the screenshots

Here is the actual texture

Week17 - 13 textures

here is the 13 texture we managed ti fit his intire mapping onto one texture.

Week17 - Texturing Continues

I finished off 13s texturing, im quite pleased with how it came out.

I have also now finished the house texturing

Week16 - Texturing Groundplain

I have continued texturing the groundplain. Also almost finished texturing the wolf, i plan to have the wolf finished for when i get back, and have the house finished.

Week15 - Texturing

I have began texturing the wolf (K9) and rob has pretty much finished the 13 texture. I will be taking and finishing the 13 textures for him. i have uv mapped the first house and given it to rob who will be doing that later.

Week14 - Halfway Through Texturing House

I have almost finished texturing the first house for the town. I realised that this house will take the longest, because alot of the textures i will be able to reuse for the next house.

I also roughed out the groundplain texture,

Week13 boy uv

i have mapped all of the boy it is four textures right now but i will condense it onto one eventualy.

Rob actualy did the uv mapping for the hair i had mapped it quite diffrently but the way rob did it allowed for more control when texturing.

Week12 houses prettymuch done

The tree houses for the town have been pretty much done by rob its now my job to uv map them then get them back to rob. i have finished the first house but there are still a few more that i need to do.

Week12 - Boy Blendshapes

right well the blanshapes are done, i also have started his mapping that will be complete half way through next week i recon then i can start to texture while casper continuse to rig both 13 and K9

Week11 - boy model finished

i have finished the boys model i am very pleased with it. both rob and i sat down and looked at it. we both agreed that we needed to get rid of the hat and the chain, the was an asthetic decision we realised that in 3D it just didnt work but the chain, well that would cause alot of techniqal problems.

Week10

rob has started to texture 13 nowand i have began to finish modeling the boy i expect it will take around a week or two this has been the first week of that

Week09 - Wolf finished

the wolf model has also now been finished as well as mapped casper has offered to rig both 13 and the wolf. They will be easier than the boy as they dont require much if any wieghting as they are supposed to be metal. they alos dont have any blend shapes.

Week 09

as i arrive back for the first week this term i unfortunatly have not done as much as i would like the first thing i will put up us that i have finished uv mapping 13 and the wolf whoo i have no named K9. lol.

When i first unrapped all of 13 mesh i thought it best to put it on several images i think it was going to be about 4 textures, but rob put it all onto one texture map which saved alot of space and also looked better so then did this with all of the characters mapping.
