Well I don’t have any screenshots at the moment but I’ve pretty much finished as much as I would like to have done on the girl character… her hair… I’m debating whether or not to put her in a bonnet but the teacher said he’d do a class on modelling hair after we finish vehicle modelling.
By the way, vehicle modelling is tough because I spent the past month and a half looking for good carriage references!!! I had to go to the library for good pictures of carriages and it seems that everybody wants to take pictures from one pov… the mostly side view but angled towards the fron’t for a nice 3/4 *sigh* and even most of the pictures I asked my sister to take of the actual horse-drawn carriages in Victoria were like that! I spent a good part of my monday calling different museums to find out whether or not they had carriages and yesterday I finally got a response! The New Westminister museum has a stage coach! Exactly what I need! I’m heading there on Sunday to take pictures and draw pictures.
My demo reel? Well I have finalized my camera shots for sure, I have a decent amount of time (40 seconds thereabouts) My friend Billy from the New Media program made me an awesome looking business card (I shall have to get it printed as soon as possible!) and the music for my demo reel… I know I want Debussy to fit both the time period and the setting but I’m still deciding between Valse Romantique and Arabesque 1.
I can hardly believe it’s the end of July now! I planned on having all my models and texturing done by the end of August so that I can show my teachers, have stuff tweaked and also have all of September to render.
