Week 10: Almost Done

NEXT WEEK:

1. Texure Dinos and Butterfly
2. Finish Rigging Dinos and Butterfly
3. Background Adjustment
4. Design Lower Level Background - Under trees
5. Shadow map texture.
6. Place new storyboards in Production Bible

As we finalize our production. One last thing that we must do, is to create stills of each our shots from our animatic. These stills should have our models set in our backgrounds. When its time to animate, we simply use the Maya scene used to create the still and we animate it.

This can only be done if the 6 items listed above are complete.

Let's go. For Week 11, if you want, let's bring treats.

Nice work.
