The past week I’ve been focusing solely on the research project and preparing for the presentation, so “Wait, Mister” has taken a backseat. I think my short presentation on Thursday went quite well considering how nervous I was about the content and amount of preparation. Now that it’s over, I’ve resumed work on “Wait, Mister!” - rigging Mr. Knox from scratch. I’ve decided to attempt to set up Mr. Knox’s entire rig myself instead of using the default XSI biped rig provided (I won’t go into why I chose that route right now). If all goes well, I’ll use the same method for Kid. Otherwise I’ll be re-looking at that default rig again. Unfortunately, what this means is I’m a little behind schedule at the moment.
On a brighter note, “Granny’s Cat” is finally uploaded on my gallery. There were 4 of us working on it and it took us 3 months to complete from concept to final delivery. I was responsible for animating some of the shots, as well as rigging the cat and setting up the lights for most of the interior shots. We tried to ensure that the workload was distributed equally according to our strengths and interests. Considering it was our first time working as a group (and using XSI and Shake) I think we did a pretty decent job. Check it out here and tell me if you like it. It’s in Quicktime movie format at 500×400 resolution and is about 26MB in size so it might take awhile to load.
