I've done a couple of 3d sketches for the train, I think I'll whip up a few more today, more to come...

I've been looking into using mocap for creating some simple animations for use in the short movie, results are looking promising so far. Just some weight adjustments needed.

Well, here's the lowdown on current status.

I have done little or nothing for the project during christmas. I had a great vacation though, even if I had to work on some other stuff :)

The past week, we've completely rewamped the story and storyboards, which requires some new models, a train and a prison to begin with. I've redone the trainstation model and am currently texturing it. So that's what I'll be doing for the remainder of the week, including the train which I hope to have modeled by the end of the week.

Milestone coming up next monday.

Long time no update, I've started with some initial texturing tests for my trainstation, going with the 3d paint approach.

I feel bad for not updating this in a while, truth is not much has happened in a while, the team is wrapping up on the modeling side of things and I and the other environmental modeler in our team will get together monday to start laying out our buildings into our city.

We also had a greenscreen shoot today, where everyone got to do their thing, and we also took a few shots we hope to be able to integrate into our 3d scenery. It's a particularly tricky scene animation-wise, so hopefully it'll help :) Future will tell if it'll help us or not though.

About time for another update, still working on the models, things are starting to come to an end now however, as far as modeling goes; will begin texturing in about a week according to schedule. Check the thread link posted below for images.

Fourth progress meeting tomorrow, looking forward to it, I'm quite pleased with the progress so far.

I'll also try to get some stuff up here asap, story board etc.

Not much else to update, continuing modeling, updates will be posted in the thread linked in previous posts.
