So last week I was very sick and didn't manage to do everything on the schedule so I'm working extra hard this week to get caught up. Today I managed to complete studio task one and get my lantern made. It took me a while to break down the shapes and transform the basic polygons in Maya because it's a skill I'm not used to. But I'm surprised with how good it looks. However I think if I was take modelling further I'd easily get caught up in the little details, like having one of the window panels hinged and the cut out stars. I also accidently made some more complex shapes in the process of making this so I actually don't think make the props for Moom will be a challenge and it's something I'm really excited to do.
I'm a bit disappointed with the texture of the ground though. It's supposed to be a green leather but it's not worked as well as I would have hoped, I tried to make the grain bigger but that just looked worse!!
So this week before friday:
Desperately need to do some blogging and studio task two needs starting, COP tomorrows been cancelled so I can play on maya tomorrow morning and start that.
And then at some point I'd like to practice performing two of the songs in different voices before the session on friday. Also a book called Acting for Animators arrived in my letter box so I think that will be really useful for this module so I need to look at that.
