#HilightWorks #Week 2 Sem 2

Week 1 of Second Semester! :D

Hello!~ The past few weeks we have been meeting at least once every week to continue working on our project together and so far has only been able to settle part of our entire modelling and texturing process.

However the past few days in school has greatly boosted our productiveness! It is partly due to our meeting of lecturers and our supervisor, Jim, face-to-face and consulting on our problems directly. We have received tons of feedback from them and we hope to make a great production with them!

Look forward to the last semester of the year/course and let’s have a blast!

Cheers!

~Edlyn :D

#HilightWorks #Week 1 Sem 1

Update!

I forgot to update when we confirmed our team members!! (>o<)

We’ve recruited Desmond as our Rigging Artist(Leading) as his core role as well as Karias as our 3D Modeller as his core role. (*v*) Hope we work well together, they’re both positive and energetic people. (*_*)

We’ve already started modelling since the start of the week, and hopefully all can be done within this week. I understand that none of us has modelled creatures before therefore I guess it’s understandable that modelling our characters may take a longer time.

Hopefully we’ll start on texturing next week(for we are already slightly late according to our original schedule) and hope that there will not be any major blunders in the future! (^_^)

Once again, hope that we will all work well together as a bigger family and as a new team! :D

#HilightWorks #SemBreak

HiLight Works

Yep. Yeeeeep. YEP. YES. HILIGHTWORKS IS GOING TO CONTINUE OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER FOR THE NEXT SEMESTER.

Our project is one of the shortlisted candidates for being green-lit!

I’m so thrilled and excited to recruit and meet our new members. That being said, we need 2 more 3D Artists! Hooray!

I’m so glad they gave us an opportunity to recruit TWO members because it will be of SO much help. We currently only have one 3D specialist which is JX.

Thank you, School of ICT, Lecturers, and anyone involved in the selection of the projects, for giving us the chance!

Hip, Hip, Hurray!

~Ed :D

Scrum Meeting 20 August 2015

Today we’re gathering for the last time this semester. And hopefully not the last time ever. We do want our project to be green-lit, haha.

Today we’re making changes to our bible wherever the lecturers have pointed out on Monday. We have actually started progress on Tuesday, we only gathered today to complete our various tasks together and clarify and problems or issues.

Here’s what we’re to do: - We make changes to the story according to feedback, all the minor loopholes as well as direction.

- Crystal will make changes to the storyboards

- Edlyn continues to compile the pitch bible and rewrite the script

- Jun Xuan make changes to the models/rigs that the lecturers have given feedback on. As well as add textures to them.

- Of course, not to forget our individual reports that are all due tomorrow.

Good Luck everyone! And hope that we have more memories working as a team to come! :D

HiLightWorks FTW!

#HilightWorks #Week 18 Sem 1

Rumble with full body rig and no facial in maya.

Ps: Facial was also not possible because the model is a proxy and has a lack of facial details.

-Jun Xuan

#HilightWorks #rumble #body #rig #maya

Puffy rigging in maya. Full body rig without facial.

Ps: This is a test rig not a complete rig, the model was also a proxy so facial rigging was also not possible, due to lack of facial details.

-Jun Xuan

#HilightWorks #puffy #body #rig #maya

Rumble lightly sculpted in mudbox

Ps: This was put into mudbox to clear the harsh edge and correct the shape too, faces put in equals to faces at the end of the sculpt. No faces were added in the process. So don’t accuse me of using too much mudbox again.

Ps: This was put into mudbox to clear the harsh edge and correct the shape, faces put in equals to faces at the end of the sculpt. No faces were added in the process. So don’t accuse me of using too much mudbox.
