A snag in the sound!

Spencer has informed me that our sound designer Chaz has left college. I don't know why but, out of respect, I don't wish to pry into her personal life. This means we are currently without sound. Tom is going to talk to Kai to see if anyone in the sound design department wants to carry the torch. If that does not amount to anything, I will have to pitch to the sound design class to see if I can get them to come aboard (pirate pun!).

If anyone can think of anything let us know.

Lewis OUT!

List of work over holiday

Ok so the work been taken so far are:

Captain Breadbeard - Tom
Walker - Dean
Guard - Ash
Pirateship - Mu
Shelf Contents - Paul
Scooter - JB

Works been left out are :

Patches
Office
Shop

and some jobs that can be worked on but would not be finished by the end of the holidays, meaning...it's good to do some tests and preperations, R&D etc... those jobs are:

Character Rigging
Character texturing(which i think better to be done next term, with the same guys did the modeling.)
Environment Texturing
and Lighting

also, Mike and JB carry on with all the dynamic tests, including canon firing, shelves collapsing etc.

NEW PIRATES DISPLAY

Hey yall! Here's my second design for the cereal display. This one is a lot better, me thinks. I putthe cereal on top of two barrels. I also added some more signs and what not. To top it off I added some cardboard boxes and hammers to make it look like they are still setting up. I did not draw the pirates as I wanted to purely focus on the environment.

ATTENTION MODELLERS!





Yo people. I'm not going to lie. I did kinda nick this stuff from the Whack'd blog. But I thought this illustrated perfectly how I wanted the models to look. These models have lovely round parts and extremely flat parts too. This is an element that I tried to get across in my artwork (though I don't know how successfully). The models also have an extremely nice level of detail to them and have rich characterisation and personality. If we could get our models to look like this, I would be as happy as a pig in...mud!





RE: Holiday Works

Hey guys, i think my strengths is in modeling, I want to be using Character Modeling and Environment modeling for my Show Reel. So like i said, if i model Walker and the shop would be cool? i spoke to Neil about modeling characters before we broke up for Xmas. he said yeah i can go ahead with it. so like what i said on my previous post. I'll aim to complete those. with any other suggestions i guess. i will also participate in the animation process as well once we get back?

Holiday Works



Hi guys, sorry I have been stuck to my games for the past few days after essay.
I think what we should do first, is to find what is your position on this scheduel. Don't worry about the name asighned to it and the dates and stuff, just look at the job title(with red dots*) and see what interests you the most. Then post here the job title you want to work on. This way we won't have over-lapping jobs. Just remember communication saves time! So before you head down start doing your stuff, post here.

*Red dots is the ones I think we can work on during the holiday. Animations and others has to wait until modelings finished.

Red squares means the job has already got its owner. Once posts(your applications) are up, this scheduel will be full of red squares. Hopefully.

WORKLOAD

Hey guys, yep Paul is right. I will ring Mu tomorrow and we will sort out what everyone has to do over the holidays. If there is any questions, you have my number!

THE CEREAL DISPLAY!


Hey all, sorry for the delay! We all had Keiron's essay to do and I've have been very ill this last week, bad chest infection and I fell down the staires at work(mucking up my hands, back legs and butt!) That aside I managed to squeeze out this little design for the pirates cereal display. We need to put more signs and cardboard boxes near it to make it look like it's half set up. As well, I think that The display stand should possibly be a pile of barrels as it is more piratey. Let me know what you think!

Paul: RE

Come on people; post up already.
I've rested enough last week; gah... I left Kieran's work late.
This week I shall make a start, plus I might try some Character modelling and animation for my showreel.

Even with all the props done; it just feels like I'm not contributing enough; so the least I could do is assist with extra animation. It's just rigging in which I'm terrible at...
