It's showtime . . . . .

So I finished my animatic for VD2. I'm not proud of it. I could of done allot better but due to personal problems I didn't. I got a Distinction for it, but I could of gotten a High Distinction.

Due to popular trend here I am posting my animatic for the whole world to see. It probably wont make sense to allot of you but it will when I finish the machinima.

A name has also been given. My animatic is now known as "402".

Enjoy.


***** ANGRY RANT!! I JUST LOADED THE DAMN THING FOR NEARLY OVER AN HOUR AND THEN IT JUST DISAPEARED!! NOT HAPPY!! I'LL RE TRY LATER. GRRRRR *****

Everyone has their own story . . . .

Things just seem to be piling up on top of me lately, but don't worry I'll be fine. Now it's time to tackle that backstory.

Angela is pregnant, which is quite obivious if you've paid attention and looked at my images. Before she became pregnant our dear Angela was a secretary for a small building corporation. She was also dating Mike. After losing her job for falling pregnant and Mike leaving for the same reason the future didn't seem all that bright for her. Fortunately she is getting by with the help of her parents and the few friends she has. She believes her baby will bring more meaning to her life.

She is a simple girl who lives her life via small daily routines. Everyday she wakes at 8am. Everyday she walks down to Hubel's for a coffee and sandwich at 11am. She does her weekly shopping on Thursdays and walks everywhere she goes. She has no pets for she is alergic, but thinks about getting a goldfish. She would call it William.

For now I think that shall do. It's not much but hopefully it will give you a better understanding about Angela.

I've also just been hit for something else to add in right at the end which will make these facts work better with each other.

I would also just like to say Congratulations to Lisa!! :)

Nice and warm now . . . .

Here is Angela with a skirt.

And here she is with all of her clothing on.

That's the great thing about it, because the rest of her clothing is skin tight I can just texture it onto the model. Makes it so much more easier when modeling. Might make it a bit harder when I'm texturing though. That's just the one thing I'm fearing.

Enjoy!

It finally hit me . . . .

Miss X will now be refered to as Angela. I don't really know why but I think the name is fitting. Not that it really matters. No one talks to her and she doesn't say her own name, but all the same to make her more real she must have a name.

So Angela it is.

As for a title of my machinima I've been going over a few in my head. Some of these are:

"Baby, It's You"

"Coffepot"

and

"The End"

As you can see they are quite abstract names. Thats how I want it. I don't want some lame name like "Angela's Adventures" or "Scream-a-thon 2000". Those names may not make sense now but soon they will.

I'm just annoyed I have to re-do all of my storyboards for my animatic just because I made her pregnant. This might set me back a little bit there.

It's getting there.

Such a pretty picture . . . .

Okay! Well I'm at uni now and uploading pictures!!

The first one is the original body.

Then I got her pregnant!! I had to change her shoes too, from what I hear pregnant ladies don't wear high heels. Miss X's costume isn't really going to change either. It's still going to be the same dress, it just wont taper at the knees now.

So here is some images of the head and hair.

I think it turned out wickedly. Texturing it might be a bit of a problem though. I'm not sure if I can make hair properly.

Those are my images, enjoy!

Forget me not . . . .

So I have done allot of work on my 3D model for Miss X.

I was planning on posting them here but sill me forgot to put them on my usb drive so I could bring the images home.

At least now I will have something to do within my 5 hour break at uni tomorrow.

It's really working out well. The hair looks fantastic. Took me a while to do but that was only because I had to move all the vertexes by hand because the FFD 3x3x3 wouldn't work for me. :(

Also made a change to Miss X, she's now pregnant. Adds a little twist to the story which I think makes it a little better.

Thats all for now.
