last couple of manic dayzz

Well its been a really tight week this week, tring to fit every thing possible that we could into the last couple of days. At the start of the week we wrote down a day by day list for for every one in ur group what they need to do still (which was quite alot and more problems kept poping up) and when they need to be completed by.

I still had to make the camp fire buffalos skins to go over them, other little palnts, mountains and they all had to be textured. There was all so the map at the end of the animation that I had to photoshop but that would take too long.

Today I done the title sequence with Dan C for the start of the animation and at the end, to have that game feel to the project.. this was very time consuming getting all the right animation and text to look good and switching between one and another, but the end resutls I thought were very good, and time well spent.

We also added the buttons and other game play menu when the player has to press certain buttons to do a particualy part in the game. We also play around with the colour of the scene touched up the shadows and the particals for the zombie. We were able to edit these because we rendered out the shadows separately to the main animation and the particals was also separate. This was allowing more control and was easily to change things that didnt look right without rendering the whole thing again. These little touches added the final element to the animaton.

All we need now is to add the sounds which Anna and Dan R have been working on today matching this up with the a block out so can just put the proper animation into place with out too much work needing to be done, while me and Dan C and sorted out the rendering other little problems and post-production work.
