Reflection from meeting (12/11/09)

The meeting today was relatively productive.

Although the group had not completely finished the modeling aspects of the project, we were able to put together everything that we had done so far, to see how it looked. Below is the image of the progress so far, without any textures or animation:

I was initially very pleased with how the model was coming along. The size scale that everyone used matched correctly, and there were no aspects of the model that didn't fit together. As you can see from above, there is still quite a lot of work to be done on the modeling before we can really attack the textures and animation. Now that I had completed my modeling aspect, the group decided that it would be a good idea for me to make the initial start on the animation, alongside Richard. The group then agreed that Stuart could work on the environment where the machine will be situated within. Tom would then work on the story board, and develop a plan of action for the short movie that we will eventually make.

Our aim for next week is to bring all of the final modeling aspects together, and create one final model. We will then all work from the same file, where Richard and myself will create the animation and Tom and Stuart will work on textures, lighting and the environment.
