I've been meaning to make a schedule for a bit now but I've been struggling on how to start it. There's an example on blackboard that I'm going to try to use as a template of how it should look. It is a around two weeks since I spoke to my lecturer so I'm going to start it from then and just fill in what I've been doing since then. I'm also not sure what the deadline is for our final project so I'm just going to go by how many the example one shows on blackboard and then upda

After the first treatments I think I added a lot more depth to the story and made it feel a lot better to understand what's happening but there is still a few things I wanted to change like at the start it just glosses over the whole first scene so I want to add a bit more description so you can tell who the character is working for and stealing from.

I think I've been getting too a head of myself so I want to start to develop the story a bit better. I created a treatment but was really struggling on how to structure it better and where to transition each act. Here is the original treatment I created. its a very rough draft.

I want the main character to

Continuing on from my last storyboard I have found a load of different ship models online but I am struggling at the moment to find something that would allow me to extract models and textures from the current game as the assets I've got currently have really bad topology or are old assets from years ago which doesn't currently fit into the shots I want, like the 'Phoenix Constellation' ship which is a model that's outdated and all of the landing gear and elevators are all do

Starting my Masters degree in Animation I have decided to develop an idea I have already had in the past. I started creating fluid simulations to refresh my knowledge in Houdini. I had a basic idea of a shot I wanted but didn't think too much of the actual concept but focused on the simulation now and then over a couple months. Now that I'm going to be continuing it for my degree I have had a lot more time to think about the actual story and the lore behind the shot. I am goi
