Some days I really like my project and others I think its a pile of crap, but today is a good day and I am really happy with whats Ive done so far. I thinks my story has potential to have some funny skits as well as some more emotional scenes which I really like. I think its going to give me some great challenges in terms animation. Main worry right now is not getting all my rigging and modelling done by the end of Dec which means it may run into my animation time which I really dont want to happen. Im trying to give myself as much time as possible to animate as this is the area I never have enough time on and since I would like to get into animation as a career I really need to spend alot of time on it getting it perfect. hopefully. So I have been pushing on with modeling and texturing I have basically finished my house and most props, though I still need to spend some time creating the materials. So far I am pretty happy with it there are some areas which need a bit more work and I would really like to take it into mudbox to add some finer details. But unfortunatley I have fallen behind a few days due to some work I had to do on the presentation we had so I am going to push on with my characters and try make up some time and come back to my house a bit later. It would also be good to get away from it for a while and work on something new.
Um, so ja we had a presentation the other day which wasnt great, cant stand talking infront of tons of people but thats over which is great. The panel seemed to quite like my work but I did get a comment about my characters not having noses which kinda made me think maybe they should have noses, but then again Im happy the way they look and I did choose not to have noses as my style choice, I guess, so nah wont change it now. So for the presentation we did have to create a wow image which I chose to be just a combination of all my previous concept work as I really didnt have time to paint another one. So it did turn out kinda nice, I did also spend some time creating my title for it. I had a look at some feature film titles like up, finding nemo, and monsters inc (im a pixar fan!) and they all seems to try and incorporate the essence of the animation into their title which is what I decided to try and do. Now im no graphics artist, but i do kinda like what I ended up with which you can see on the wow picture here.
Ok so thats really all Ive been up to latley will try keep my post a bit more regular from now but you know how it is, work just takes over your life.
