Poster is done!

Attention to UmbraCu6e Production team Everyone should know that we have to finish our short film by end of March. So I hope people can try your best to show your team about your latest progress no matter day by day or week by week. I will promise to try my best to go ...back college everyday so I hope you guys can come back and join us (other groups' member as well). Art direction that we trying to aim for this animation might have little changes but what I consider the most is the story. I confidence enough with my design, I trust my art director Ghao, I trust my TD Hui Hong, I trust my enviroment assets artist Allan, I trust my enviroment designer Arthur, I trust the scripts of Warner. I will work on the new version of storyboard for now. While you all focus on all the rigging, UV unwrap, modeling, texturing, text animation, blendshape and so on. I hope I can finish the animatic by this month and let you all critique before I show Aik Sern and other lecturers and seniors. I hope rigging and blendshape can be done in time as well so we can start animation blocking because I know most of the modeling and UV unwrap are done. Texturing and lighting still can work on it by overlapping the animation progress. February will be a critical month for us to complete most of the progress so March we call focus more on lighting,rendering and editing only. More details schedule I will tell you guys later on in college to make sure at least half of the planning can be on time in February!! Thanks and Good luck!!

MODELING WORK IN PROGRESS

hi
long time no post,
this is our work in progress for modeling stage.

Thanks buddies!!

Our pre-production stage almost reach to the end, althought still got a lot of things need to be refine or add on but I think we already tried our best to do the best.

During the critique session, all the feedbacks that given by the lecturers and tutor really appreciated by me and you all as well. But actually what that really touching me is when they all mentioned about TEAM SPIRIT.

Thanks to you all!! Althought at the begining we having some issues about TEAM SPIRIT but with all the coorperation and tolerance from each group members, we succeed to overcome it.

But what I want to say is....so far this is the only 1st stage of our whole pipeline and I hope we all can keep it until the end.

How These 6 Faces Work?

6 faces formed a cube, although 6 of them located in 6 different places...1 face at the bottom; 4 faces at the side and the last one at the top...but do not think that only the top piece is covering all others faces,actually without the support of the 4 side faces and also the bottom one to support thise 4 faces...the last face will not ever be the top.

6 faces really need to trust each other to form a nice perfect cube.Because no matter which faces you are,6 faces still having the same shape and size just only with different function in a cube.

Do not forget,sometimes the cube will be rotate and the top may have to change to become a bottom to support;or the bottom also have to become at top to cover others.So please prepare well your positive mind set to contribute in this cube.

I am very very sure that Umbracube can really do something great!!
