The Project Description

This here is my personal blog, that outlines all aspects of my progression throughout the Ani303 project. We are required to write, plan and produce a short movie for the deadline of June 13th 2008. The entire year group has been separated into groups by choosing their favored film, and have dedicated their final year to this project. I personally chose the story written by Johnathan Pryce with the working title 'Aztec Escape'
Follow this blog to find out where, when and what has been going and hopefully get an insight into the way i work with in a group.

Altar Modeling

The Altar was a model i started to attempt back in January, but decided to step back and plan before i just spontaneously modeled just anything. Then it seemed not necessary to work on assets at that time. Friday 18th i spent the day on it and modeled it in a total of 6-8hours. I was not only impressed with the time it took but more so the outcome. Although not being the highest poly model, it holds a lot of vital detail and once the normals are sorted out the model will have a more pleasant visual appearance.

Although not totally UV-ed yet, the model is almost ready for texturing and has been placed in the environment and fits nicely as you can see in the images below. The final touches to this set will include dressing the set with plants and clutter such as rock etc.

This was a stage where i was testing the differant arrangements of the stones under the altar.

Here is a few examples of the Altar after the cracks had been modeled

This was the finished article without a texture, and all parented to the control curve at the base, which later hold the animation controls for the buttons and knobs.

This was a quick screen grab of the Altar in the environment.
