oh

Three weeks left until school starts back and I'm a liiiittle behind. As it is, I have to rig both characters still. I mean, girl is ok, the boy hasn't even started. I'm thinking of just using the girl's skeleton and adjusting it to fit the boy instead of creating from scratch. Will probs do that actually. Yeah. ok. So basically, it'd take a day to get the character done and skinned. I could very well make it if I pushed really hard. Whoa exactly 21 days until school starts! this post is scrambled.

Did some texturing tests on the girl. She looks ok. Right now I am around 60-70% done with Senior 1. Just need to do texturing, some small modeling, some small UVing, and some small rigging stuff. That, plus putting things together like the sets and cameras and story poses. May also attempt to record some reference footage. Plan to start animating at the break, where I'll hopefully be able to finish at least 3 shots. that'll leave 12 for Senior 2...uh. Okay that SOUNDS scary but like three of the shots are really easy like one is literally just the camera looking around so I guess that leaves 9 for Senior 2. yeah ok it'll work out if I can animate one shot in senior 1 that'll be even BETTER. I think I'll have to develop a workflow where after I finish a shot, I start lighting/rendering/compositing it in order to not get too bogged down at the end? Esp. since I have to account for stupid hiccups that are bound to happen along the way.

Also I was gonna use ncloth but I was thinking of doing it the normal way with a wrap deformer :T I'm not sure how I want to do it yet, though. The girl's pants will def. be wrap deformers; that's all I know right now Her shirt will probably be ncloth, and the boy's whole wardrobe might be ncloth.

ok i can seriously type better than this but im just vomiting my plans out right now ok.
