Week in review- This week was mostly a work week on our 3d shorts, I found a great mouse model for my short. I had a few problems with the lighting but overall everything is coming together really nicely. I guess 3d animation isn't as bad as I thought it was, even know I still prefer 2d animation. This week we also had our last Maya demo, and also had a Maya quiz.
Some thing that frustrated me- some thing that really frustrated me this week, was spending a whole day trying to fix the lighting in my 3d short. There was really weird block-like shadow that ended up being a spot light under the floor of my scene.
some thing that made me happy- my overall animation is coming together very well, which of course makes me very happy. I'm just glad I dong have to work with the creepy chicken model any more, even know a few people keep saying that the mouse I'm using is creepy.
some thing I want to learn- I would really like to learn how to add in elements, I noticed that Maya has different effects for fire, water, wind, lighting and a few others. I don't need this for my 3d short but it could be helpful for other projects.
Something I learned- I learned that lighting in Maya is very particular. the more lights you have the more shadows there are. that end up going different ways if your not careful.
