The Grass Types - 3/9/2016

Group: The Grass Types
Members: Balee L, Campbell H, Catherine D, Kaitlyn E, Kendall T, Laura T, Sarah H, Taig L
Log line: A subject finds themselves in a utopian biome of super flora, only to discover that things are definitely not as they seem.



Link to the planning folder of our project:


Overview of the week:
Most (if not all) of our models have been made and now as a group we’ve are working on trying to fix the UV’s and get them ready for Balee to shade. Originally we were having trouble with the UV’s but our modelers have started to go back and restitch the existing models to better prepare them for being unwrapped.
Kaitlyn and Sarah have finished up the basic forms of the models and are the ones restitching.
Balee, Campbell, and Catherine are beginning the UV unwrapping. Once each UV is ready, Balee is adding gradients for them.
For now the matte painting has been put on hold until most of the UV and shaders have been completed.
Since the final models are not ready to go into the VR the basic models are being added into the environment.
Kendall is working on the final conceptual stages of the project. Once this is complete she can help other members with either the modeling stage or getting the final VR ready.
Taig has been working on the first walkthrough video and applying music to it.

There has also been the creation of a new folder to help with the group progression of the restitched models to the final shaded ones ready for the VR. The folder also contains an updated asset list to show the progress during the week and keep track of what group members are working on what models.
