Todays meeting

Yet another posting from me. We have 1024mb of space for the blog. I'm probably going to fill it up in a week.

Ok, firstly, characters.

Characters in the animation will be:

Jigsaw, Freddy, Jason, Ghost Face, Pin Head, Little old granny, 1st contestant & 2nd contestant.

Tasks for members:

Me: Jigsaw & Ghost Face


Adam: Freddy & Room


Chow: Jason


Rhys: Pinhead & gran


David: 1st contestant


Matt: 2nd contestant & Texturing


Tom: Character designs (reference images), Storyboard update & new animatic


Richy: Website & all that multimedia stuff

I have made folders for each character which include reference images. People who want these images for their characer, let me know.

It does seem like people have more work than others. Matt, Chow & David have one character, the rest have two.

If this is a problem with people we need to talk about it!!

Probably an idea to take screenshots of your character modelling stages. When your characters are "completely modelled" put stage by stage images in a new post.

Texturing:

Certain models such as Jigsaw & Ghost Face don't need much texturing (UV mapping etc).

If people doing more than others aren't confident with texturing characters maybe pass the model onto Matt (or Chow or David; not sure if you guys are ok with texturing characters).

Rigging & Animating:

Obviously, we can't rig or animate until we have models. When the time comes we'll talk about who will be rigging & animating what. We may choose to stick with the characters we've modelled. But someone doing two models will need to pass one on to Tom for him to rig and animate.

Rendering:

We can't really test with cel shaded rendering until the characters are done. May look better not cel shaded. We want a toony look but it might look better not with a toon render. Don't worry about shadows (if anyone is). With the right setup (shadows etc); shite characters look amazing.

Joke:

Why can't men make pancakes?

Cos they're useless tossers!!
