Dissertation

Today I am working on my dissertation and so far I have 883 words of my first chapter done. This is good for me as I only had 50 words this morning, and I am struggling with the writing process at the moment.  I will continue with this until it is done, which will hopefully be tonight as I am away for the next two days and this is due in on Thursday.

I would like to thank mr Chopin and Mr Bach for their company today, I always find it easier to work whilst listening to them.

this box is full of mud :s

Today I exported each item individually from 3ds max into mudbox to make sure that it transferred correctly in proportion of the refinement that I will be doing in Mudbox.

I'll show you what it looks like once I start to do some working into it.

done (for now)

Now the scene is unwrapped. I know that there are probably sections of it that need tweaking but I will do this as I'm going along.

EDIT: Here is the concept picture that I am working off.

unwrapping

I've started unwrapping now and I am almost done with it. I am mega tired so I'm giving up for today.

unfortunately I'm working all weekend so I'm just gunna try to get it finished during any spare time I get.

alterations

I have made the barrel smoother, re-jigged the archway and created new bones so now they are less cartoon bone. for some reason Im having some sort of funky shading issue on the bones, but I'll check with Dean on monday what that might be.

Now on to UV'ing. yaay. (insert sarcasm here!)

block party

here we go, a quick block out of the scene. not unwrapped it yet but I will be doing that over the weekend in between shifts lol.
thinking of adding more detail but I'll look into that later.
