Deadline Schedule

There's only a week left before the deadline for our briefs arrives. So I've worked out a schedule that I'm really going to strive to stick too, in order to complete the assignments before the deadline. The only real hindrance is my decision to re-render most of my Maya animation to include shadows, but I'm determined to get it done.

Contextualising Design- Essay

I've just finished my critical studies essay. It's under "Pages" if anyone wants to read or click here to view it directly.

The Message- Shadows

Despite having rendered all my frames, another tutorial today revealed a missing element that I'd forgotten: shadows. My world is bathed in intense sunlight, yet Koya has no shadows. Rendering shadows on definitely added a sense of depth to the atmosphere and it seems I may have to backtrack and re-render all my previous shots. It will be worth it however!
