Week 9: Landscapes and Leaping Goats

We're tying up some loose ends the start of this week and hoping to leap back into animation so to speak! We want ton have all texturing for all landscapes and assets complete, as well as all rigs - which includes the assets like the guitars (which will just need controls) and the burst big pinata.

After our studio session last week Yannis has updated the animatic to include the new narration and sounds (music is still a place holder).


The music is definitelystill on our mind and we want to make sure we're not rushing around for this towards the end! Plus its rather important to the intro scene with the mariachi's strumming.

Yannis and Natatsha have been blocking out their animations for the goats and Yannis has been working on the shock scene - we're all trying to figure out the best way to make a 'trembling' effect which is proving to be a bit more difficult than we'd initially expected, but he has been trying out a few things to see what results we can get.




The environment was definitely a focus last weeking - making sure they are as detail as the models - the mariachi's in particular. Natasha has been workong on the landscape and mountain in Mudbox and we're really happy with the results. Its still needs some gamma correction and a slight bump map, but so far we're really happy with the results and Natasha is feeling happily smug (and rightfully so >_<)



We also now have a completed exploding pinata rig courtesy of Bimpe and Sushma. RIGGING IS DONE.
