Meet up and Room progress

Exequiel and I met, and just discussed what was happening. We determined that on Wednesday during class time, we will start dividing up the animation workload. He said that Gil should be done very, very, soon.

And I do have the progress on the room!!! I'm almost done!!!! I have to get the light-rays coming in from the windows, and from the lights up top-to make it seem like a kinda dusty room. Gil doesn't seem like the person to keep a totally non dust filled room. So far so good though-No?

i have work monday so just let me know whats up, ill post my posters as soon as i am done

Room with textures and lights progress

working on all the things that need the texture files first. It was running a bit slow on the computer i was on this morning and crashed twice hahaha :D Gonna add maya shaders next week and work on the lighting some more.

have a good weekend all!!!

WEEK 5 Work

We plan to meet on Monday at around 11:30 or 12:00 to check on our progress. We need to figure out what room to meet in.

ASANTE

AMANDA

FRANCIS

Sound effects
look for different sound effect for the end haha :D (no dramatic squirrel)

lemme know what you guys think

some more props

sprocket thing, clock, box/crate, couch

Room update

just showing how it's changed this week. Gotta add more stuff to the bottom pic-that side of the room is kinda empty. Keep modeling those props!!!

Final Robot Turnaround

Let me know what you think-especially about the colors. I went with a lighter blue, cause Gil's vest thing was a shade a blue. And our robot would stand out from the background :)

WEEK 4- WORK TO BE DONE

For next week:

Don't forget your peer reviews!!!

We should set up a meeting time to see where we are at as a whole, I think we were thinking sometime on Monday

And when looking for textures, I think we agreed that darker tones for the environment. That way the Characters stand out more from the background. So, darker earthy tones should work.

Good Luck!!!

Robot Model

So I havent had time to go back to the environment this week. I figured that the character has a few more steps than the room-so I tried to complete him first.

I think we should leave him as a one armed bot. It gives a little more character, and it might show that he is still unfinished. The other arm idea we gave him, with the hammer and screw driver seemed like a bit more to do. Let me know what you think.

some props

from left to right: floating spinning thing, radio?, pliers, kinda small but it is a nut, crowbar, stool, trash can

Room WIP 1

All I had time for today....send me those props so I can throw them in there. I wont be able to work on this again til monday, but this didn't take me that long at all.

Some of the main stuff we need is a Bed, a stool for his workbench, and a chair for the robot

Let me know if I need to move, add, or delete anything

WEEK 3 - WORK TO BE DONE

Robots

Amanda Robot Design

Here is what I did, keeping him simple and yet still making him look interesting at the same time. I think he might fit with the design of the human boy Francis has

some ideas

Another room

So Francis and I were thinking of taking most of her modeled room, and just resizing everything and moving everything around, and taking like the pipes and other random "junk" from my modeled room and throw it in there as well.

Some of it has already been textured for another class and everything, so again, another time saver, and a lot of those little pieces would work for our scene!!!

Here's a room we could use~

The boy~

Here's a boy you can use. :I

Amanda Design Update

Hope your weekend was good!!! Hope your designs are coming along, Here are a few of mine!! I will continue to update this post throughout the week so our blog doesn't get too overcrowed.

I was also thinking that we could use the quick boards that Francis drew in class for our beat boards for our presentation on Wed morning. Cause we really don't have a final design for our robot yet :) As soon as we get the design settled we can actually start everything else (modeling, storyboarding, ect...)
