We are now well into the production phase of our project. We have three models completed or nearly completed (scared Herbil, normal Herbil and the butterfly) and a fourth on its way (Behemoth). Currently I am working on creating the environment for where the story will take place. We really want mystical trees and have the idea of a fairy tale world to where this story takes place and trying to make the environment match the idea is really fun! I am finding that using the Maya paint tools are both useful and entertaining. There are so many options. For instance, we can create a field of hands within seconds. Once you have a field of hands you can change the materials/textures of all of them or individual ones. Thus you can have a field of polka-dotted purple and yellow hands within a few minutes (depending if Maya crashes or not ;D ).
As we continue to encounter difficulties with our project, we are attempting to adapt to each situation as they arise. Right now Sean is working on re-painting the weights on scared Herbil because the way we decided on doing the arms involved editing the mesh of Herbil, and Colin is currently working on the robot.
