So, a month later. What do I have to show for myself? A lot.
Mostly finished modeling both characters (only small details here and there like eyebrows/clothing/placement issues are left), almost finished the assets (chair, football, and books left), and am beginning to think about starting UVing. UVing is a whole 'nother beast, though, so I definitely feel large amounts of trepidation going in to this. Need to read up on a few tutorials and muck around with that UV tool I found online at CreativeCrash. Not gonna bother thinking about rigging/blendshapes just yet, maybe in August depending on how UVing goes.
Aiming for at least character rigging done minus blendshapes, but we'll see how that goes I guess! I won't mess around too much with dynamics and the like until probably Senior 2, but there isn't that much dynamic work involved, anyway. Just ncloth and some hair things for the girl.
Okay enough here's a quick image I had saved out. Ignore the hair got a bit overeager in testing some things.
This is just the head, before adding nostrils. I may actually forgo nostrils, but the girl doesn't look quite right? Maybe I'll just make his smaller. But yeah this was just a little test for hair. It clashes right now but I'll work it out when I actually get to the texturing stage so.
There's a lot more I could show like basic ncloth tests and whatever, but I'm lazy right now. Until next month, maybe. Should post some stylistic things as inspiration.
