Today, I was able to get more stuff done with my Kraken, fix some problems, and prepare for Animating. I was able to get the proper bend onto the tentacles without the suctions going haywire. I also got the bends exactly how I want so now the “Kraken” can properly grab, pull, or hit people. Seth was getting colors for the Pirate ship before getting picked up early, Madison is still working on her people, and we don’t have Michael today, so we don’t know what he’s done yet.

This week for our Final Animation Assignment has been where we started to take off when it comes to making this Animation. So far, our main assets are coming along good. I have made the “Kraken” with probably polish ups later on, the Water, which is a bit too rigid, but hopefully that should be fixed, and a Cannonball. Seth has been working on the entire ship, like the Wheel, the Flag, and the entire base itself. Madison has been making an in-depth character model, both male and female, and is currently rigging them. Finally, Michael has been working on a whole slew of props, like Barrels, Boxes, Swords, Hats, Islands, and the Cannons. We haven’t had any permanent issues yet, only some stops, but all has been resolved as of now.

Today, we got even more stuff done when it comes to our models for the Pirate Final Animation using Maya 2020. Things were better today then it was yesterday, as we were able to get some more progress done instead of being stuck. Seth is still having problems with his ship, so he just moved on to some other details for it. Madison is working with rigging and weight painting the crewmates, which isn’t going too bad for what she said. Me and Michael continued to work on more props for the scene, like I worked on the Cannonball as he worked on the Cannon.

Today Seth, Madison, and I all worked on our respective objectives for our Maya 2020 Final Animation. Today, we ended up running into several issues when it came to working on our models. For me, I was trying to make suction cups for the “Kraken” and fix the top so it isn’t some ugly yellow. The suction cups turned out… fine, while changing the color and texture didn’t work at all. Seth had issues for modelling the boat the whole day, and that really describes all that was happening. Madison and Michael didn’t have many issues and worked on their respective things like normal.

Today, I was able to model and animate water for our Pirate Final Animation. The model turned out really nice and smooth, which I’m happy about. Everyone is still working on what they did before, without complications. I’m going to continue working on modelling the Kracchini and adding more details.

Today, I was able to add some more detail and features to the “Kraken”, as well as give it a test render. So far, it doesn’t look too bad, and I’m happy how it turned out. Seth is still working on the Pirate ship, and right now it’s very detailed. Madison is currently working on the rigging of the people, and Michael well I haven’t asked, I don’t know what he’s currently doing.

Today, I was able to add more to the “Kraken” in Maya 2020. I was able to add the tentacles to it, although they aren’t the most detailed in the world. What I’m planning on adding soon is little Zucchini Slices to represent the suctions that the tentacles normally have. I also added a little background to represent the lighting for the “Kraken”, but it’s gonna only be temporary.

Today, we have continued to work on our final Animation assignment using Maya 2020. What I’m doing right now, is tat I’m still working on the “Kraken”. The eyes look off but they still work fine, and they even glow. Seth is currently still working on the ship, and Madison is working on the people. They have both gotten a lot of progress done. Michael too has gotten a lot done with the various props,

Today, we continued working more on our Animation II Final in Maya 2020. For me, I have continued to get my other work for this class done, then work more on modeling the “Kraken”. Seth has started more on his ship, as well as our storyboard pitch. Michael is working on more props and Madison is continuing to work on people. We are still having our issue, but other than that, everything is going well.

Today, we have started work on our Final Animation in Animation II. What we are doing right now is making assets for the project. I have just started working on the “Kraken”, Seth has begun the concept and model for the Pirate Ship, Madison is making the people, and Michael is working on the props. Nothing has gone too wrong so far, and are have getting a ton of great ideas.
