Update:

Ok so hand in is Friday (EEEEKKKK!!) and i suppose you could say part of me is fine part of me is fucked with these projects!

Im at a stage where i could call my van and environment finished, but with tweaking to do more so on the environment and just tidying up with the van. But my character? lets not even go there.

You will all know that i hate characters full stop and really didnt want to do this part of the module, but hy it has to be done so im giving it my best shot.

I have a model which could potentially pass as my project, but i also know and have been nagged that could be better. Ill tweak that bit over christmas when i have more time but more importantly now i need to get all 3 models i already have textured and the high poly one rigged.

Having never rigged before i thought that i would have a serious issue with riging and that i wouldnt be able to do it, however.....

i found it quite easy :S and thats something i dont say very often when i havent done anything before.

Theres a few issues i dont quite understand, i think i might have missed something somewhere but i do get the basic principles of how to do it and i did manage to animate my character.

Ok so it was the low poly one as a practise but still. I did it.

When max is working in the labs/i get home ill post up some screenshots of my work so far. I havent done in a while as i work on a laptop not connected to the internet and im too lazy to fiddle around with transferring files over.

I am a bit mifed that the deadlines keep getting pulled forwards and different people have been told different dates but the deadline IS the friday. So long as we have finished projects, even if they are shit, we are ok to hand those in.

They will give us feedback there and then on the day when we have our formative assesment with them and we can note down what needs to be done over christmas to pass. We cant fail at this point in particular, as we have a resubmission date for January 2009.

Anyways thats all for now, ill try and put some screen shots up later on if i remember!
