Here's Assignment 5. I actually completed it last week but was too lazy to put it online. I'm quite pleased with my face and blendshape modelling for this assignment. But I had trouble rigging it and ended up re-doing that and paint weighting so many times that I actually ran out of time to do proper animation. Sigh.... so yet another imperfect piece of work.
Still, I think I'm really getting the hang of it. And I enjoy animation more and more.
After this I have to try and finish Assignment 6 as quickly as possible then I've got my final assignment to finish up. So going to be super busy for a while.
Anyway, I hope you like my sync sound assignment. =)

Maya - man
Been a while since I updated the blog but have been rather busy with my latest assignment. This time I'm suppose to do sync sound. Here's a look at the character I modeled and that we're suppose to animate. I'm in the midst of rigging it right now and should finish that soon. After that I'll animate it to the audio file. We're using blend shapes to animate the talking.
Okay, I'm going to try and get s bit of sleep first cuz I'm really smashed these few days. Tomorrow, I'll have to work extra hard as I need to finish this up and hand it in on Saturday morning. Hopefully nothing really crops up and hopefully I can get up early. =)

Maya - I got hit
I think I kinda messed up the animation on this assignment. I can't seem to get the walk cycle right. Going to have to work on that more but now am too busy with work and assignment 5 to mess with this.
Also, I think I misunderstood the instructions so Shot2 has no audio. Will have to work on that.
Anyway, here's a look at what I ended up handing in.

Beautiful Cooking - Episode 11
Check out this ep of Beautiful Cooking. Hilarious. =)
Ada Choi, Rain Li and some HK actress/singer?? called Kary compete in this good natured and light hearted cooking programe. The show is hosted by Edmond Leung, Alex Fong Lik Sun and Ronald Cheng I think. I'm not sure if Ronald Cheng is a host because this is the only ep of Beautfiful Cooking I've seen and he was sick even though he did participate. The judges for this episode is this guy called Justin (not sure who he is), Leo Ku and Roger Kwok.

Maya - car complete w/tex... thots
Ahhhh.... now that the euphoria =) of getting the car complete is gone, I have had some time to step back and evaluate my work. There are definite problems with the car. The front looks kind of empty and after further and closer observation of cars on the road today, I concluded that I should have included grills to fill out that empty space in the front. I might just go and do that later tonight and hope it doesn't mess with my textures.
Hmmmm.... I did look at a couple of pictures of cars just to see what I should be doing, but perhaps a better strategy was to actually copy one of those designs kinda sorta. I think I'll do that next time before I try and be adventurous.
Also, the side of the car looks kinda wierd now that the light is hitting it full on. Definite problems there. I think I probably have the lines lined up wrong and will have to fix that cuz it looks kinda ugly that way.
Okie dokie, definitely got my work cut out for me. I'm off to have some din din and coffee. =)
