12/05/13 - Showcase

For the showcase I'm going to be demonstrating what the system was hoping to do rather than the actual system.

To start with you'll get the option to pick a character. I've included a short bio that explains key points in the characters background. The player is in the corner of the screen because that's obviously something that factors into the final outcome.

After selecting a character there will be a screen that allows you to pick an interaction. This will be a similar layout to the character select screen but will have an image representing each interaction. After selecting an interaction the Animation that best fits their character will play. Obviously this means only a few of the clips will be visible in this way. To make it so the rest of the animations are on show there will be a page that allows you to choose any interaction to view.

26/04/13 - Showreel

I don't have anything really to post when it comes to final pieces at the moment. I'm going through the process of cleaning up the footage and readying it for Maya in motion builder for all the clips then i clean them up and then i'll put them in the scene with the player on the next pass. As there's a lot of clips i'm on a pretty tight schedule so posting isn't really my priority. I'll make sure to post up the final ones as they come and anything to do with showcase designs. In the evenings when my brain doesn't function as well i'm currently putting together my website:

www.Melophilus.com

Which includes my newly created showreel. I know it needs some tweaks and i'll need to add captions but here it is in it's current state.

A happy accident was that the music fits particularly well in certain clips.

Not really a proper post... just business card stuff.

The main problem I'm having (other than it took forever to decide on this layout) is I don't really want to put my telephone number on there. I'm more likely to be contactable from all the other methods I've put down but is it enough?

I should probably put it on anyway... but I don't want to. I've ordered them... bah it's done now.
