So! Whats been going on since week 10 update? I got sick! BOOO! Took a week off because of nausea, but I'm on meds now and feeling MUCH better! Despite the set back, progress on modeling is being made! 

80% of the set is blocked out, 70% is fully modeled, 60% is UVed, 64% of what needs to get "rigged" is rigged (a lot of these are a simple constraint!), and 10% is textured (but thats okay!!!! thats the next stage!) 

Overall, we're at 50% of the modeling pipeline start to finish (30% of whats missing is the texturing, as far as modeling, only 20% more to go!)

Also messed around with mixamo and we are in business baby! Here's a walk for my first shot.

02.19.2025 - we have sound!

General / 19 February 2025


A lot has happened in the last week, sadly not necessarily within my film. Wednesday I got into a pretty rough car crash and was T-boned by a semi, so most of the last week has been resting and extremely restricted screen time due to a concussion! Needless to say, this dampened my progress in the last week, but we're so back!! 

I managed to go in and add my new music, as well as adjust note related shots, which now have the correct (!!!) note texture. Not much else was able to get done, but now that I'm cleared to go back to classes and homework, the plan is for a lot to get done in a short amount of time, of course within reason for my health's sake.

ANOTHER update this week? AND it's only Wednesday? We love to see it!

So here's what's been going on since the other day: 

I switched gears! Went into my unreal file and started messing around with lighting and the post process volume in my vertical slice file. I was never happy with it before, and now with Rosa's textures imported and adjustments made I'm already feeling much much happier. 

For whatever reason my screen shot of this will not upload, so this is a link: POST PROCESS UNREAL WIP 

I also realized I have'nt actually shown what the plaza is looking like in Unreal, so here's one screenshot of that: PLAZA UNREAL WIP

And finally I shifted gears to a bit of environmental modeling, starting by focusing on the bakery exterior (which many aspects of will be able to simply be duplicated in order to create the other buildings!) 

ps. maya human dude for size comparison 

(this one actually uploaded yay!) 

Anyway that's what the last hour of Monday and all of yesterday consisted of. I should have a track of composed music very very soon and I have reached out to my sound designer for a retimed sound track, so I should be in a very good place come in progress screenings one week from today. The next update will very likely be what is submitted to that on Sunday, followed by the feedback I received a few days after that. 

Will update again soon!

02.10.25 End of Week 4 Update

General / 10 February 2025

Hello hello! 

Everything is officially in 3D, and we have a decent amount of blocking coming along (work in progress!!) 

IMPORTANT REMINDERS/NOTES:

- The stop war texture on the note is TEMPORARY. it will still be saying "Pan" with a little bread drawing

- The box at the end will still have cake in it, not the bread she was sent for. 


I am currently in the process of getting the shots that feel a little further behind progress wise up higher (ie the spinning shot before she falls). Its all coming together <3 

more to come soon!
