Friday Night Live
I set myself the goal of modelling everything by tonight so that I could concentrate on the animation from now on. I didn’t hit that target, I went out for a meal last night which was well deserved as I have spent virtually all my non working time since my last tutorial on this. I’ve clocked up 13.25 hrs so far and this is the result at this point. I’m mentioning time because of the large amount of time that this seems to take to create. If I was charging £30/hr this would come to £405 already and the model is unfinished. This tells me that the models for sale on Turbosquid.com are either not up to scratch which doesn’t seem likely or I am spending too much time labouring on trying to get things to look and be right. Maybe its lack of experience?
Anyhow, the following pictures are the current state of play and show the various models that I have wrestled with over this last week or so.
(Hurray for Bank Holiday weekends just before presentations!)
Bob the builder is back !
This is a render of the house that I am planning to animate. I have got to get this all built pretty quickly as the presentation deadline is looming on the 27th which is just over a week away. I think that once the house is done the rest will take just as long, but I am currently planning on having the modelling done by the end of Friday evening. (Just done a mental reality check and yep, thats pretty mental.) I want to push myself to see exactly how fast I can bash this all together without causing RSI and more importantly its got to look the biz. Now that I know more about how to get things to look appropriate I’m not going to slack. I seem to be spending my time: 60% on modelling and aligning things and 40% on getting the materials set up ok.
