Project Finished

The rendering was very fast, almost instant compare the my last project. This is the most success of this project I think, which is the management of the files and ...pretty much everything within this project. Simple the best. So...yeah that's about the rendering.

I was most happy with the lighting. As this is my first try out after Sultan's fantastic tutorial, I will continue my practice on lighting during the summer. There are some awsome lighting chanllege which Sultan adviced us to join. http://www.3drender.com/challenges/index.htm

For modeling and rigging, well, maybe I should had chose a thiner charactor since I encontered some problem when rigging. I'd say, I learned the importance between a good model and the rig. A good rigging also affect on the animation for sure. This is the dependency of the production chain.

Speaking of dependency, I find it sometime rather inconvenient for us students. As this is an indivisual project for most of us, we all have to do a whole production. Say for example if a person is very good at compositing or animation, if he can't model or rig he won't be able to show his skills. Luckly I was quite aware of this problem so I was very open on learning new stuff. So in the end, I learned a lot through out this project. hmm... maybe a little pressure is a good thing after all?

Anyway, here is the final schedule. Rendering time has been reduced to 1 day.
