The groups aim for the week

Today Damien and I discussed what we as a group really need to complete by the end of this week being Sunday 12th of October...

  • Find a fix for the hair - Sascha
  • Remember to set keys on the aim locator for the DOF camera (check that Caryn has this camera)
  • Do test renders on the DOF to see its not too blurry
  • Complete the sprites, flowers and black goo, cut clothesline for scene 9&10 - Sascha
  • Textures to complete - Damien

- Interior and Exterior Walls

- roof

- windows - use shader form CGI assignment (Sascha has one)
- balcony
- potplant - Sascha
- cockroache - Sascha
- Fix Charlie texture
  • Buildings for final scene and textures - Damien
  • HDRI or environment sphere - Caryn is doing this we think?
  • Day Lighting to be finalised hopefully by Wednesday - Caryn
  • Finalise Scene 3 with lighting and textures and render out
  • Give Fog Scene rest of group - Sascha

We are hoping to meet Wednesday after life drawing to finalise:-

  • Scene 3 with fish, lights, textures and render layers
  • Damien to give Sascha Buildings for final scene
  • Sascha to give Caryn & Damien Cockroache, Fog and dynamic Clothesline
  • Caryn to give us - Lights for environments and show us how to do the ncloth with fish
  • Check that misenscene for all scenes is the same for everyone

WE can do it!

Saturday night with Andrew

Well this was the most interesting day of my year so far...a freaky caller at work, followed by a fire alarm at uni, followed by my scooter getting stolen...was nothing compared to seeing Andrew in action in front of the big mixing table thing.

He is good...he is real good and patient with us raucous animators...

I had just as much fun gathering all my junky bits and peices together for our night of recording as I did actually being able to make sounds with them. We had a rather very successful evening between the hours of 8pm and 4am the next morning...being able to record majority of the foley and also the music tracks.

It was way cool to see how Andrew works...its definately an art form in itself...and was alot more full on than i ever imagined.

eye CTRL issue

ok so i may have come across an issue with the eye CTRL...but all sorted...

If you look in the attribute editor for translate and rotate you'll see they are highlighted in green.

select all Translate X, Y, Z and Rotate X, Y, z and then right click once selected > break connections.

Voila...you will find you can now key and CTRL the eyes as per normal...not sure why that happened...All im glad about is I was able to fix it...

Damien next time you get that Head CTRL issue, see if its doin the same thing...and see if the above remedy works for it too...

out for now...

OH yeah...
