Well its the last day of this project, and finally got it all sortd out at last, Anna and Dan R had finisehd off all the sounds Fx, whlie me and Dan C found some sounds for the intrduction and the credits. Then all we had to do was play around with the sounds leveles to all the sounds the same level. Then so all we had to was render this from premier pro.
I have really enojoyed this project and the results that we have come out with in the end. I feel that worked really well with Anna, Dan C and Dan R and the way that they work, they are very hard working and they plan things out very well so we know whats going on and what need to be done. I was abit apprehensive at first just becuse I was tiny bit unsure I they would like me working with them, but as time when on i got more comfortable in the group, and hope they have like me working in there group. I would love to work with them again because they hvae great ideas and i think the group combine I think works really well, in generating ideas and the technologic skill to make these happen. Plus every one gets on well with each other.
Well for now its over and out ! ........................

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.
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.

To test out using the Trax editor I try it out on the dream catchers that are going to be blowing about in the tree. Its quite simple using the trax's are as you can edit things really easily in a non liner way.

Week 8 i think
Well the last couple of weeks have gone soo fast i dont know where the week have gone ! Slightly panicing a tiny bit as every one else is, but am sure we will get there in the end, I hope. Mainly this week and the last ive been texturing and modling afew stuff really, and normal mapping the objects from Zbrush into maya.
Doing the normal mapping was just hard and very frustraing as it can take a while to bake the normal map and with the pc at college they keep crashing all the time which wasnt good at all, as kept losing the work that i had just done. Mayb it was just the computer that I was on, but all so Dan Ryan computer kept doing the same.
Doing the texturing this time round is has not taken as long last time, in the past project, as mainly I know what there is to do and how to go about doing this, but still it take up alot of time, The Results are very good on the objects that I have done and they are fitting in well with the environment.
With the project needing to be compleatd by next week,I think that the next couple of days for all of us are going to be really stressfull and really tiring as there is many things to be done still. Like puttng all the stuff in the environment scene and animation, lighting and other stuff. HELLPP !!

more Z brushing
Here are a couple more screen shots of part of the secene.
Here is the tree which when I tryed to make it all out of polys it was getting too high, so i came up with a good idea. I wanted to make the branches look like branches but from just using planes and not actual models. So I tryed painting the branches in photoshop but they just wasnt loooking as they should. So I took some free models off the internet that had lots of branches that I could use to make a texture out of. To make the texuture I redererd what I wanted to use as a texutre and in the render options changed that to alpha map and saved that image, going back into photoshop changed the colour and made it have a transparent background so you only see the branches. The just moved these all round the tree. With doig this it lowers the poly count and it still has the desired effect.
More of the fence that I shaped in Z bursh.
At last here is the final Teepee that I was happy with, but previously it wasnt looking right, but now its looking as it should.
