New Project Outline

After a discussion with my tutor I have decided to change the project I will be undertaking for my honours module.

I will now be recreating a memorable scene from a particular peice of media via modelling , texturing, rigging and animating a character(s).

The clip should be approximately 15 seconds long and feature dialogue to help incorparate facial animations.

Research must now be conducted to help create my project plan in the coming weeks.

My Initial Idea

After completing a simple though process and discussing with my tutor, I have generated a core idea to build upon for my project.

I hope to model, texture, rig and animate a character to import into Unreal Development Kit and generate an AnimTree.  This will allow the character to traverse simple obsticles in an environment, each triggering the appropriate animations.

The environment must be suited to the design of the character and animations accordingly.  In conjunction with this the new skills will be aquired using Adobe Motion Builder during the animation creation process.

I must now begin the research process and have a discussion with my tutors in order to finalise my idea.

Begining My Honours Project

In order to begin my honours project I must first come up with a general idea to base my research upon.  I aim to do a project that will test my current abilities whilst also forcing me to aquire new ones.

I must now conduct a thought process that will help generate some initial ideas.
