Today's meeting highlight:
I'm glad to see that there's some animation done/ or at least has finally began. Animators have to update every week what shot you are going to do or continue to work on. Please have the initiative to inform me or at least write in the blog on what shots you will work on.
Wonderland
I have edited the Wonderland. Now the problems are there are too many things and proportion of the carrots. So, the placement of the carrots may change.
Dear Merissa, I need you to draw a model sheet so that I know the proportion of the the carrots is to Alice. I can't just scale any size I want to. Also, I realize that the detailed sketch of the carrot house that you drew long ago is different from the overview sketch that you post recently. Please be consistent and tell me which one I should follow.
Dear Cheryl, I like the colour test you have done. Perhaps you can try a few more colour tests before your texturing team proceed to the lighting and texturing. Perhaps you can colour the portal in detail so that we would know exactly what kind of effects are needed to put in for the portal. You may want to do some research/reference on effects before deciding on what effects to be used.
Also, for the Wonderland there's a long, long path. What I intend to do is once the model, texture, lighting of the wonderland is done, I will render the environment as a image plane and then put it behind the actual model. This will save a lot of the render time in the render farm.
Model of mum and dad
I can see that the progress is going smoothly but a little bit slow.
Model and rig of mum: 31st July (duration: 1 week)
Model and rig of dad: 7th of August (duration: 1 week)
That's okay. I think you may need to change a little bit for the mum's forehead. Please remember to delete history and freeze transformation berfore you rig. I do not want the same mistake again.
*sigh* no choice...
Extension of deadline:
Rig of mum: 7th of August 2009 (Friday) (duration: 1 week)
Rig of dad: 7th of August 2009 (Friday)(duration: 1 week)
No more extension given. YOU MUST FINISH THE RIG BY THE GIVEN EXTENDED DEADLINE. Remember that you still have animation to work on.
That's the end of meeting. Thank you for reading.

Colours; Coraline style?
Coloursssssssssssssss
I referenced the colours from a couple of Coraline screenshots this time. Done roughly before my boss realises I have no work to do >.>;
Here're the screenshots:

Mommy progress
Sort of doneish with the modeling part. I need the design to be approved first before i start UVing/rigging/getting hit by a truck.
I also altered the edges to follow more of the osipa face, any suggestions QX?
Sorry KY! I don't think poor mommy can see the light of day by your deadline, i'll try to finish it ASAP though.
EDIT: Ms. Art director wants mommy to have a bob hair cut. Hence I shall be making further revisions to her hair

edits for wonderland
hey kunyu, thanks for your model!
if you read the comments i gave in your post these are the sketches to clarify them
i think my previous sketches turned out not so good when modelled out
so i sketched again for you in pieces maybe it's clearer.
this one shows the carrot and how the vines should twirl around, not dangling cause it should be vines with life and make them slightly jaggerdy at the ends, more paper-like and more creepy
the stars should either ber part of the vines like it grows out like fruits, or it is twining round it like it grabbed the stars from the sky for Alice ( thinking the stars would glow pretty in the render)
the small details or the elements, like if there are leaves it should like like that and the carrot shapes should follow thick to thin, smooth to jaggerdy concept
this is for the bunny statue thing, i drew in my previous sketch the bunny too skinny i think, so just widen the bunny body and it should be same size as width of first steps, and the stairs can put more detail in it.. like the twirl at the corners and the warped and slopey steps, the vines that come from the bunny body should be thick and then gradually thinner when reach the smaller carrots & also the steps are not solid blocks but made oflike folded paper or previous i already maybe not clear buti said it was just a thin piece of tile.
a bit apprehensive about the heart shaped carrots behind the main bunny statue it looks like some idol statue lol. dnot mind it like further up on the pathway though.
(some ideas to elaborate wonderland):
(proportion of wonderland to alice is not correct just a imaginative sketch)
( just a idea for a possible composition)
the wonderland can like have paths extending further at side leading futurer rather than only one path...and they go like slanted and not flat the main path alice is on should be go wider and then smaller and then wider (like in my old sketch) and it goes up and down in small slight slopes. things should looks warped and not flat, so the whole wonderland looks topsy turvy.
OK THANKS!~^^

Wonderland Done
The wonderland is done. That includes the UV unwrapping of all the objects. Above are a few rendered images. Please give comments. Thanks.
For the composition/layout/ placement of the carrots, I will do it while I animate. I may add in more carrots depending on the camera angles. I was thinking that maybe some bunnies can be standing on top of the carrots, peeking on Alice.
Lastly, I need your approval, Merissa. Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you!

Wonderland model.
This is the wonderland progress I have so far. I started modeling wonderland only today after doing some research. I will do the big bunny after I get some rest. Take note that the placement of the carrots may changed depending on the camera angles. Please give some comments so that I know what elements to add in.

A task for you...
I need you to check all the objects in the living room. I want you to delete all the unnecessary edges/ faces of each object as it caused the file to be too big, too heavy. Evelyn can't do textures as the file will crash. Thus, please help her. Email to me back the file first and then I will send it back to Evelyn. Thank you so much.

Hello team, sorry to bother you in your weekend. I have informed Mr Jacques about the tsm rig we are using, he suggests us to have a meeting with him on monday evening 4 a discussion with him. he suggested 6pm but I doubt its possibility.
Sorry about making this decision but evelyn and I are the ones who will be doing this project for another month so i believe we have to make the best decision. Mr Jacque will be with me for another month and not following the lecturer's advices after they have tried to help is quite disrespectful.
However, I do not want to offend both parties as this is your project as well. Speaking on behalf for evelyn, the render passes are taught by Mr Chris. I believe the lecturers have much more experience than us and it doesn't hurt to follow what they have said.
Next, something i want to point out about all our previous group meetings is that I feel that the meetings were quite inefficient as we were quite disorganised, often drifting away from the original topic very often. I hope everyone can play a part better.
Sorry once again for changing my mind after the group meeting. I apologise if I sound rude but I believe honesty is the best policy. Please do reply me asap before monday.

Colour test 1?
Test colours.
I did this at home, and when I saw it again on my company's computer..the colours were jarring =A= so I desaturated them. Hopefully they come out okay on whichever monitor you're viewing this on.

wonderland concept~~
hey, here are updates on wonderland, sorry it seems very different to you..
decided on the whimsical dark look.
and since carrots are plants, decided to make it like a planty whimsical place in the clouds..
but the plants concept is not like everything are plants,
but the carrots and viney and some plantlike features (like spiral aloe vera looking thingy haha).
there are but it's sorta out now, will refine the drawings but here are the sketches i did. of the diff. elements and some shots from the animation...
it will be a contrasted very much like coraline's original book illustrations kind of feel to it(search: DAVE MCKEAN) except elements are round and 'cute' not so jaggerdy like his drawings, it's creepy but through the texturing and colours, i hope it's not just creepy, but like the whole place made of cloth-ish texture, like bedsheets (dreaming) and some like elements of 'home' & comfort will be in the wonderland.everything like even the carrots can be with that texture. and elements of spiral (viney)and also the long striped vines on the pathway ( like a draw bridge) also reflects the bunny's arms, which all these elements i hope to link to the bunny so it will seem like it's the bunny world. silhouettes at the BG are like carrot mountains and bunny holding hands, but are actually the bunny shaped door way/tunnel-arc thingy which has like a bunny-shaped keyhole, symbolises the bunny is the way to the wonderland.. or that she's at point of no return-ish. haha..
sorry if i am not clear but i hafta get to work haha.. more to come...
-------*
hi... back with more drawings. hope this makes clear... will try to draw individual sketches of each elements of at least a full pencil drawing if this is not clear enough...
when alice crawls out...
the bunnies pop up from sew up tiles. light source from the hole they pop up from too.
so there will be rim light around their contour and a bit creepy-ish light from the bottom..

Important announcement
*There is meeting on this Friday. Merissa and Cheryl will be excused for this week's meeting. I want to see the rest of you on Friday.
Dear Cheryl, I need you to help Evelyn in the texturing. You are required to design wallpaper for the walls of Alice's house and design the blanket, pillow. Ask Evelyn for more details. The design must be ORIGINAL, which means you must think of your own. You can research, take some reference but do not take their design. You should know about copyright issues. Also, for the wonderland colour scheme and background matte painting, please help Merissa. Remember you are in charge of the art direction.
Dear Merissa, for the sketch of the wonderland, it is still not detailed enough. It is very rough. I need to know exactly how the carrot island look like. You need to draw the shape clearly. As for the layout/ composition in the camera shot (on how you placed the carrot house), I think it is not good, you may need to explore more or get some reference first. For the wonderland concept, I will give you until next monday. Please post something by monday.
Also, from what I heard from Evelyn, there is this professional sound maker team introduced by Mr Zhi yang. This team is going to help us on the sound audios for our clip. So, I'm wondering if your friend has started helping us out with the audio. This week, the professional team will meet us to discuss what to do. thus, if possible is it ok that you can arrange your appointment to some other time or day? If not, Please message me and I will see what I can do.
Dear Daryl, I need you to help Qing Xiong in the rig. Basically, for the body rig, we are going to use the same TSM control. From what I heard, Jacque D said that the animation will still be saved if you use the same rig even though the model has changed. So, as Qing Xiong has finished editing Alice's model, he will pass you the file and you do the body rig again. DO NOT do the facial rig yet . After you had done the body rig, save and pass the file back to Qing Xiong.
Dear Qing Xiong, I think you should know what to do since I came to school yesterday. Meanwhile Daryl is doing the rig, you may edit the model of the parents, starting with mum.
Dear Evelyn, just to confirm with you on what I need to help you.
1. UV unwrap of the new models.
2. Edit model of the chandellion.
3. edit model of the food utensils.
4. Edit the house exterior.
Dear ANIMATORS, as The same TSM control will be used on the new model for the body rig, there is a possibility that we do not have to re-animate. Thus, starting NEXT WEEK, I WANT TO SEE UPDATES OF ANIMATION! No excuses. I know some of you are really busy but so do I. So, please put some effort in the project. Time is running fast. Therefore... Huda! Show me your animation by next week. If you had edit something, show me tomorrow. I feel like you are 'disappearing" from our team.
NOTE: Daryl and Hui Sian will be excused from the UPDATES OF ANIMATION as Daryl will focus on the rig and you know... Hui sian is at overseas.
P.S: Is anyone able to contact Hui Sian? I need to know how she's doing.

Audio input
Hello, Mr Zhi Yang requested for the updated clip so that he can help out with the audio. We submit the playblast version to him?
Important announcement
This week is week 7 for IAP. I need everyone to work on this project together as a team as I know some of you have done nothing.
Dear Qing xiong, I need the rigging of Alice to be done be this week so that the animators can start reanimate the character. If you have no time for rigging of dad and mum, it's okay. I will reschedule the time. BUT I must have Alice to be done this week.
For the animators, I am so sorry as most probably we have to redo the animation again, but we will do tracking of the animation. I will explain more about tracking on Friday meeting. Please do not be frightened about the word "redo" . It's not like we have no guides in the animation.
Dear Merissa, for the concept of wonderland, please give me the detailed sketch of the wonderland as soon as possible before Friday so that we can further discussed and I can model the place as soon as possible. I need the wonderland to be done in order for me to proceed to the redoing of animation. If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT MISS ANY MORE MEETINGS! WE HAVE DISCUSSED BEFORE THAT WE WILL HAVE MEETING EVERY FRIDAY BUT THE ATTENDANCE IS GETTING POOR. PLEASE! IF YOU HAVE IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT, TRY TO ARRANGE IT IN OTHER DAYS!

wonderland concept
Hey guys, sorry didnt update the wonderland but i'v sorta thought of confirming it but i would need my old concept art from school. (heh i didnt take that one concept)
If you can get it, it's the concept art which is the sorta like floating twirly grass land island in space thingy haha, (the main initial one that is based on the first storyboards.)
I thinking of modifying it... instead of grass and brown earth i think incorporate the whimsical colours and checkered texture, and the shape is actually carrot-like pointy at the bottom, thinking make it even longer and more like a carrot and the top is the mini carrot houses which from afar looks like the leaves....
and it is connected to each other by bridges of 'strings' and there are many and can see them from a wide shot like as if they are stars in the bg.. im thinking, we can model only the top(land) portion and the rest is painted.
i got a little sketch but i cant seem to upload here, ill upload when i can

hi, back with the sketch.. the colors are not these colours the colours wll be more like the one n the here's the pic i used as inspiration.... and te skies will be dark but still a colour and the carrot "islands" will be smaller ad blurrer in the distance and not so densely position ah more sparse like stars are something. okay hope to churn out a detailed one for kunyu..
p.s
it'll help if someone can send me that concept art or if i try to dig it out from somewhere ^^
