How do?

My apologies first and foremost that it has been three months since posting anything! My work (Junior CG Artist @ the National Space Centre) has been taking up the majority of my time, also I have been finding it hard getting used to the whole waking-up-and-going-to-work stuff, and so when I get home i just want to collapse.

However! Now I think I have been able to get used to it all, and so am actually willing to come home from work where I have been working away in 3Ds Max to work for a while in Maya. I have done a little more animation, but have fully lit the first two scenes, which I have test rendered out to see if any mistakes need to be ammended before full-on Rendering.

As you can probably see (or maybe not) there are a couple of small things I need to sort out before moving on to the proper render, so I will do that some time soon... other things that I need to sort out are MUH's cape (turns out that cloth is far easier in Max) which through my own stupidity means that I have to replicate it for each scene, finish off the final section of animaton which shouldnt be too bad, organise the scenes for different render layers and then leave my computer on for an entire month whilst it all renders!

Tonight I will be looking at another small animation for the piece - this one is about a child who gets hit by a car, and I think will be done in a more basic, child-like style. thats what I think now, anyway! may change my mind by the end of the night...

anyway, more stuff to come later!
