The team continues to work hard.

Joel has finished his model of our creature, Frostridge. Cewon immediately took the model and began texturing it in the most brilliant colors. Joel has also started to rig the creature after discussing movement details with Paul.

Sai has finished some great motion capture tests. He’s had a chance to clean up a lot of the material and has discovered it might be too big a job for the data we collected in Organic Motion. But, the data we collected from the main campus system, Vicon, is doing really well in the pipeline. We will discuss further and maybe recapture some of our older data on Vicon.

Chen has finished his first pass at compositing which has given us a better sense of all that is needed in every shot. Our next task now is to look to collecting assets to replace his placeholders in the scenes.

Dorothy has all but finished Ramesh. His eyes were finished this week, his body is rigged, and as of Friday she was very close to finishing the rig for the eyes.

Julia has been hard at work doing more cloth sims. The tests are turning out great and we will be talking about just how to integrate them next week.

Paul was away at the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival most of the week and made some great contacts: Three curators of film festivals who all gave their personal contact information so that Paul can bypass sending films through withoutabox and send work directly to them. The team will definitely be sending them our animation.
