End of the theory.

So today formal classes finished and next week we are in to production mode. The whole class is making a group project and we have been devided up in to divisions which include, character design and modeling, set design and modeling, rigging, animating, texturing and lights and rendering. The plan is to make a stret scene with a locked camera and have some charaters walk in and do something. A fairly large task for 4 days.
I thought we had to do our own things so last night I set to work making a dog but luckly it got a place in the production, actually two spots because some how we are also going to turn it into a cat, not that it's my problem beacause I'm on the aniamtion team. I considered doing modeling but most of the class wanted to do it so I figured screw it it's not like my models arn't going to be in it anyway :P so I really go the best of both worlds. Plus even though I'm not concerned with getting animation practice it's good to play with the rigs, like most of the class I'm not real comfortable with the controls yet.
O.K well it is 4 and I have a game to go to in a couple of hours so I am out of here. I should have heaps tp report next week though as I am heading up to Whistler this weekend.
Until then
