Alexis Bloom Week 05 Journal
0Alexis Bloom Week 05 Journal On Track Jack I want to preface this by saying I didn’t get as much animation done as I’ve done in past weeks. I think that’s because of a few things… firstly, I was really booking it the past few weeks to get as much animation as done as possibleContinue reading

Alexis Bloom Week 04 Journal
0Alexis Bloom Week 04 Journal Flipper Flop This was a fairly average week. I think I could have gotten a little more work done than usual, but I’m still on target for all of my deadlines. I’ve been focusing mainly on getting shots from sc01 “render ready”, meaning having their animation finalized and readyContinue reading

0Alexis Bloom Week 03 Journal Productive Assembly I was SO SO SO productive this week. How productive? I did 65 freakin’ hours. That’s a LOT, and somehow we’re still not completely finished. I spent all 65 of those hours animating. I worked mostly on scene 07 and 01, the scenes that needed the most work.Continue reading

Alexis Bloom Week 10 Journal
0Alexis Bloom Week 10 Journal In the Face of Defeat This week was a huge disappointment for me. Although we manged to get as much done as we could have possibly done in the last week, we didn’t meet beta. I’m mostly disappointed in myself, as I was sick during crunch time. I kept passingContinue reading

Avery Brown Week 09 Journal
2Last week was spent assembling, rendering and compositing. The assembly process started out very inefficient and significantly improved by the end. Still, it was rife with mistakes and we had to double render over half of the shots that we completed. The reactor chamber was very much not ready to be rendered and needs significant optimization.Continue reading

Alexis Bloom Week 08 Journal
0Alexis Bloom Week 07 Journal Through Sick and Thin This was another fairly average workweek. Unfortunately, during my usually most productive days (the weekend), my body decided it would be a great time to come down with a bug. I’m still a little sick, but I’m trying to push through it. Otherwise, I’m still doingContinue reading

Avery Brown Week 04 Journal
0Avery Brown, Week 04 Journal The environment model is a very complicated array of mostly the same models instanced a bunch of times. Without instancing, it takes almost 30 seconds to load the railings alone. The problem is that, while the FBX format supports instanced geometry, one of the import/export plug-ins does not, so bringingContinue reading
