The deadline is getting closer but I have decided to explore a different avenue. I was going to do a smaller animation with Melvin the cat but I have almost run out of things to do on the project.
My interests are within the technical side of animation and so far for Melvin, I have remodelled the cat, UV mapped Melvin and re-rigged him. I have also created nCloth curtains for the scene and explored MEL scripting for set driven keys and fur. My main priority was to fill my folders for this unit but I have covered my artist folder with all my modelling and concept drawings. I have covered my animation folder with animation for the Cat and Rat film and also animation tests that I am going to use Melvin for to test my rig. I think rather than continuing on with this small project, I have decided to carry on learning and developing my technical skills and create a showreel for the degree show that will reflect this.
My skills are not needed for the smaller project anymore so I think this would be the best way for m to show my skill set and develop further. There are areas I would still like to explore further such as develop fur and baldness maps so the time I have left for this unit will allow me to go in a different direction and give me an opportunity to develop my showreel for the degree show.
