3DModeling

So at the end of class we were informed we will no longer be modeling modular game assets but will now be learning to model modular pillows. Pillows of course being 98% of Interior Design.

Due to technicalities today's update will be delayed due to someone complaining that "Substance Painter" wasn't in the Bible.

EDIT: Updated to latest pre crash animation, had the scenery off (was on a separate layer) as I was working on the mouth animation and then Maya went through the five minute pre crash free and I playblasted what I had to that point. This was the fourth attempt from scratch. Maya would freeze in the middle of setting key frames and attributes and would then crash losing everything. When I pull up a save the save would be even worse that prior to saving (controls would be missing, controls that weren't missing wouldn't work.) Anyway, uploaded to get SOME points, some are better than none.

Maya decided that "increment and save" meant wipe out all animation frames. SO I had to restart the scene from scratch as all of the previous saves has the same issue.  When rendering the finished dialogue animation it crashed ... again. SO now I have to rebuild the dialogue from scratch.  I don't get how animation studios get production done with Maya.

Got the textures done and have to finish up the dialogue animation.

So, I've decided to go with Conan a cartoon barbarian available via Creative Commons licensing as long as I don't try to modify or make money which with it which I'm not going to. There were some decent female characters but Conan's controls seemed to work better for me and he fit with the "Yeah Yeah" song better.

So, after "finishing" rigging the pumpkin horde I'm looking for a ready rigged figure to animated in a "musical".  I wonder if the Russian have any experience with this.  After much searching I've decided to stick with "Yeah Yeah" by the Fox Sisters via Creative Commons for the song unless I find something better (which I as of yet haven't).
