Dear animators, please take note on how you playblast your animation. In the playblast, I should see title safe and action safe. Also, you should hide all the controls (nurbs curves) and cameras. Please also select the character/s and press 3 for the smooth mode.

Dear texturers, the wonderland rigging process is completed. I have put the scene file in the New asset project - environment- wonderland- wonderland_master.ma . Please do not changed the placement of any of the objects/ props especially, the "curved hills". If you changed it, my animation will be ruined. I want the wonderland texturing, general lighting (as in lighting not according to each shot) to be done by this Friday. I also want the UV of the house exterior to be done this week.

Last week, Evelyn showed me the interior house scene for the lighting and texturing. I feel that the whole room is too pinkish. I feel you have overdo it. I prefer the original colour for curtains. Also, I don't see much obcessions. Maybe the reason is because there isn't enough bunny drawings?

Cheryl and Merissa, I noticed your progress is slow. Please work faster. According to my planning, you need to finish all the texturing and general lighting of all the scenes by end of first week of September. Then, you will need to proceed to the adjustment of lighting and textures according to each individual shots. So, PLEASE WORK FASTER.

Dear Qing Xiong, I need your edited alice by this wednesday. As for the mum, I need you to tell how long you need to finish the rig/ blendshapes. Please tell me as soon as possible. thanks.

Dear Hui Sian, I don't know if you have been viewing the blog, I need you to tell me the exact date of when you coming back. You have a lot of shots to do and to edit. I need to plan a special schedule for you. Plaese reply as soon as possible.

rabbit rig

Hello team, I have finished the rabbit rig, paintweight and blendshape. The expression includes smile, open mouth, side jaw, blink, the upper and lower eyelids.

Important!

Today's meeting is cancelled due to some members having overtime work and some are watching the movie "UP". Thus, here are the updates of our progress.

Environment

The model of the wonderland and house (exterior) is done but for the house exterior, the UVs are not done/completed yet. Therefore, for the UVs of the house exterior, Cheryl and Merissa will do it. Please do a proper job. Thanks.

For the house interior, the UVs of the stairs and carpet needs to be edited. I will do it and give to Evelyn by Monday.

Characters

For Alice and dad, it''s nice work. For mum, I heard that Qing Xiong is editing the model of the mum, so is the UVs as it is poorly done. Thus, the deadline of this character (including rig) is on 14th of August (Friday).

(just for Evelyn), I will hand the IKEA book to you on Monday as I am unable to go to school today due to overtime work.

All members, take note:
There is no meeting on 14th of August (Friday) as Qing Xiong and Evelyn are having their presentation. But all members are to come back on 17th of August (Monday) to do animation and rendering and texturing. Also, Evelyn will brief the whole team on where the files is placed. There should not be any excuses of not able to come back as the IAP has ENDED. I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY EXCUSES SUCH AS YOU HAVE SOMETHING ON AND IT IS URGENT. If really that's the case, think of a perfect solution yourself. The person who is unable to make to it on monday should only be Hui Sian.

That's the end of the updates. Thanks for reading.

Alice house! Finally!

Wonderland

I have done/finished the modeling of the Wonderland. But I have not edited the UVs. I will edit the UVs once I am done with the modeling of Alice's house (exterior). Above are some images of the Wonderland.
