Easter! - site presentation

So ive just about finished my voiceover work; I have a basic camera run through of my 3d scene (will be on the college website) and all my log work (which is on a word document rather than on here until I manage to get the full document on here later on) - Over the easter I need to go back to written work and concept work to make sure all is kept up to date. Time is the biggest constrait of any project, that and how you use it; Im confident I can get all my written work bumped up if I make the effort over easter.

Nearly there

So currently my 3-D environment contains the main buildings, the floor and lots of props - all it needs from the next lesson is lights and possibly a skyline. The only thing i'm really irritated with are the textures, whilst they have to be similar I have managed to set some apart from the rest, but when I add lights it may help the individual objects stand out further.

More...

Well we have been informed (a tad late in my opinion if were meant to have the class finishing concept work months ago) that we have to do a lot more concept work as of this moment "No one is the class will get more than a pass as there is next to no concept work" (quote - and odd considering more than 3 pieces of mine have already been sent to on teacher). So more drawing, but 1st things 1st, need to finish off these models, add some lighting and move onto sorting all these little things.

3-D work and update

The diary of my 3-D work is all being kept in a word document so on here I will post anything finished or non-3-D work that I can get done. I've managed to get an ok looking model for my university - it still needs some finishing touches but its basically there. Chris said that to get more than a pass I will need to create more of an environment. I look around and see the great work my classmates are doing and simply feel as though my word is of a much lower standard when it comes to this 3-D work; and now I have to try and build much more of an environment? well I suppose I can come up with a plane some chairs and tables to it will all be quite simple - and none of the groups work actually looks like it should go together much to my annoyance. They all had the backstory - my texture and the style - yet only one of 2 of my group members have taken up on that - 2 of them copying whats outside - another doing something completely irrelevant etc. But we are being marked on our own work - not the finished trailer - despite the fact is it that trailer we are showing off (the group also made a dubstep beat for the trailer when I was ill... a dubstep beat for a serious horror story game trailer? you know I dont know why i bother). Ive only 2 weeks or so - by the end of this week I will have the main model done and I may have some concepts of the other buildings done.

Confusion, Clarification and a shed loada worries

Let me start right of the bat by saying this blog hasnt been kept up to a pace of my tutors liking - even though most of my work goes into word documents, they rarely get seen until the end of the course and other marking periods which seem few and far between. Now ive been very ill the past few weeks - only making it in on mondays, and my computer refusing to believe that 3Ds Max isnt working at home, leaving me with very little time to do my work - Now there is a lot I have yet to do that doesnt require 3-D however these are changing and I was emailed by my tutor about the various tasks ive been given to do for my team.

2 of these tasks I had aleady done (Poster - some concept work), 2 more I thought were being done by another member of the team, so forgive me for being a tad confused but I have no clue as what I should be doing other than the 3-D university, the story/soundwork I have been working through (no its not on this blog because I think just throwing ideas up on here is a waste of time when there is no evidence to support my words) I've been told I am now doing the splash screen and another 3-D character model (stone character) when I know that task was given to another team member because I had a long disscussion with that individual to help him realise what he could make in max and what he could create.

My skills in 3-D are far from even being called skills, especially compared with the rest of this class, my skills lie more in organising people, envision ideas and story - but when it comes to getting things on paper or machine - its far from skillful - apart from my words. It is difficult enough trying to make a 3-D university, albeit a very simple one - to then expect me to make a humanoid like character... I will discuss this with my team on monday and see where this misunderstanding has occured - but the senario may well be I have these extra pieces of work on my plate, and I have very little time to do them - especially with all my current aliments.

All said and done, i need to start working alot more and alot harder - i'm letting myself and my team down thats all there is too it

Hopefully there will be plenty more on this blog by next week.
