Reflection from meeting (29/10/09)

Reflecting on the team meeting on 29th October, I feel that the group has made a lot of progress. We have clear ideas on exactly what it is that we wish to achieve and also clear targets that we have set ourselves. Issues that may arise in the near future have been highlighted so that the whole team are aware. This includes issues relating to all members using the same scale (cm) so that when all of the four main sections come together, they are all able to be joined to one another.

I feel that the team are all very strong at creating models in 3D Studio Max and I am feeling positive about our approach to animation when that comes along.

Although we have been only working on the modeling aspect for one week, the team are getting very close to starting the animation aspect. Because of this, we decided to set the next deadline as Thursday 12th November, where we will start to create some animation. As I have finished the main structure of the base, the rest of the members took a copy of this. We did this so that the model would all come together and connect at the correct places once everyone had finished the separate sections.

To share the workload, we decided that every week a new member of the team would write the minutes to each meeting. I wrote the minutes to week one, Stuart is doing the second week and Richard and Tom will be doing weeks three and four.

Next week we will be merging all of our model to create the final product. From there, we will then be applying textures and animating the model. Group discussion then led onto incorporating various sounds and even having a voice over, explaining about the model and what it was used for etc.
