3A - The Kitchen

Changing storyboard

going through the storyboard there are some scenes that we can not achieve any more for example the clock and some others. Im going to make a quick storyboard and do some changes that can actually be achieved in our scene, nothing over the top so guys give me your inputs because i have already started animating and deadline is next week, so NO MORE MODELLING.

little annoying!!!

just wanted to say cause we are all using different maya files and doing our own bit of adjustment to the scene, the clever idea would be to let the person who is animating use the latest file as this is the final one we are going to use and the other members just carry on with the modelling and import it over when ready. The reason for me saying this is that everytime i import something over to my maya file and make a few adjustments to it i have to repeat the same process again importing what i did to either deans of rich file as they were adjusting the same file also. To me this is just wasting time and could easily be used doing another objective. This has happend few times nw and plz i dnt want it to happen again. So just to let you know im animating on the final file so dean and rich if ur modelling DO NOT model on the kitchen scene create a new scene and then just import it.

Objective

hi guys just wanted to say that we have been modelling for like time now and i think that we should have started animating weeks ago yeh, the only thing ill model is the clock the other things you listed for me either you dean or richard can take it as i am going to make a start on the animating

Wednesday - Self Study

Okay, for 2moro we'll wont be coming in to meet up but work is to be done at home. I will be neatening n re-riggin the c-roach. and makin sure lighting n rendering runs smoothly for animating.

Rich, if u can tidy up the texture n hypergraph n stuff fo us den that'lll be great.
Fer, If u can model the pos-its, a mug rack, a dish crate and a clock would be great. putting more life into the kitchen.
as for me, i'll try to start animating very soon. i'll give you's a report on thursday wen we meet up.

For You to Eye Up.....!!!

I added colour to the flooring, just hope you also agree that the colour goes, because it's colour reference from T&J. I think it works well, gives off a very soft,tranquil look but not step siding away from the cartoon feel.
A poster Of Alesha Dixon is added (for Fer sake!!!) on the fridge, held with round fridge magnets & a Tom & jerry calendar to promote the theme!!!

My Modelled Objects

Yo guys, i just uploaded all my models n combined it as one object. so if u want jus seperate it init. u should be able to just Drag + Drop straight into the final scene and it should be in place already. but i dont fink the textures that i did for it will be there. anyways. heres the link:

Hye guys.. i c every1 is having bad times. im gettin anooyed aswell.. not much can be done on myaya. need to upgrade my PC for real. lol.. but im bare skint.. jus been sorting out bare personal stuff recently.. so yeahh.. this weekend is jus giving myself some space n rest from all them kitchen n stuff.. but yehh. guess we jus gotta put it all 2gether 2moro init.. hope to get alot done.. well, catch u's 2moro.

Im on the say boat as Richard, in an unfortunate event my brother formatted my memory stick where all my work files were placed. Lucky enough I had most of the Maya files and print screen saved on me personal hard drive but for Dan presentation it was not so lucky. Another reason why i was not alble to fufil the objectives is becuase i am having problems rendering in maya software the computer seems to crash on me. But for some reason th files seems to render fine on the uni pc and also sending it to one of my friends they did not seem to have any trouble rendering.

I just want to say that im not going to be able to finish off, the objectives set by us, as group ok!!! weekends kind of crazy for me!!! so gaining time is ever so difficult !!! ill continue to work on my task next week...easyer for me then. thanks
