Animating

Just a quick update on hows things are going, the animating is going really well but slower than i wanted, Ive got the hardest part over with, i had to learn how to walk again to be honest and getting my character to sit down was time consuming but im happy with how its turned out. ill post up what ive got shortly, but for now ive just got to carry on how im going now.

Update - Back in the game

Textures

Ive made all my textures again so i can begin to create the environment, it shouldn't take too long because Ive done it before so i know what I'm doing. i will post an update of the environment soon. The textures are all hand drawn, painted and also a few textures are made from Plasticine, i have around 40 pages of textures to play with, blending them together and editing them in photo shop to get the right look.

The Guitarist

The Model is complete but no textured yet because i need to finish the environment before i make a final decision on the characters, i need the characters to stand out which could be difficult when working with a limited colour pallet, i will be using depth of field though which is going to help distinguish the two. Ive created the rig and laid out the uv's ready so its all ready to texture and skin.

The Cats

The Cat model is coming along, its not there yet but at least its got some character, i think im going to put a really quick rig on him so i can put him in a less robot looking position and then it might look right.

Hard Drive Failure, im not going do a Portsmouth

The hard drive is dead, its going to take about a week to get a replacement, maybe two weeks if i want to pay £300 to try and recover my work (im a student, i can barely afford to eat), which i dont think is worth it. im trying to get the recovery for free because the hard drive is a Seagate Barracuda which is a faulty product it seems, see site bellow.

I'm determined not to do a Portsmouth and give up. Its going to take many late nights, lots of coffee and rooster, its time to give my health one last beating, grab myself by the balls and lets kick the funk out of this project.

Emergency liams laptop post

I hate Technology, i would love to just move to a small seaside town and be a plumber. once again, for absolutely no reason at all my computer is giving me the middle finger. It doesn't want to boot up anymore, which is the equivalent of me not being able to put my socks on. it could be the hard drive again but I'm not sure. I'm going home tomorrow but this is a massive set back, not sure whats going on yet. i was going to start recording the music, rigging both characters and getting most of my environment finished over my 3 weeks at home but i need my PC for that, which i dont have. if it is my hard drive which is dead then Ive lost all of my environment work, models, textures the lot. also my cat character will be gone, thankfully Ive got my guitarist character backed up so it wouldn't be a complete waste of 5 or so weeks. everything was going brilliantly, i couldn't be more angry, i would love to beat the funk out of my walls but I'm somehow holding it together. Ill keep you posted but its not looking great..WHY THE FINAL PROJECT NOOO!!!!
