Wishing you a wonderful holiday season from GiddilyGeekin!
Due to the sprint ending right on the holiday I am giving a report on how things are looking this sprint. My original goals where to complete the first pilot and get a start on the second one. I am making a pretty big change in my strategy in getting these characters to come to life. Here is the process I plan to implement:
Character Design Process
First Pass - Create a basic character in blender for each pilot
Second Pass - Add detail, features, and lessons learned after creating so much in blender.
Design cartoon eyes for each character
Give each character texture
Third pass - add detail to model to complement eyes
Create rigging for all characters
Animate all actors
Add to UE4
I felt that there is allot involved with the design and that I would be be forgetting skills instead of improving them as I stay in each zone. Because of this I don't know what sprint updates are going to look like while I am focused of character development. Also with the holidays I will be taking a break to spend time with family.
Goals for next sprint:
Take a break
