John Lennons - Love


This project for me has been a strange one, I’ve learnt allot but at the same time I wanted to learn more to put me in a really good position for the final year, I don’t no weather the tiredness and eagerness for the summer has cast a shadow of my project but I have to say it hasn’t been an enjoyable one for me. Having so many render problems has seriously not helped my enthusiasm for the project but I should have prepared myself. I’m fairly happy with what I have produced, I think once it’s all finished and out of my system ill be able to view it in a different light. I’m happy with what I have managed to get done in the time I had which is encouraging because this project is far from what I can achieve in 15 weeks. The passion began to fade personally from this project but hopefully it will still remain in the final film.

Rendering


I’m having a lot of trouble with the rendering; my own computer is shooting the scenes out but for some reason when I’m using the computers at Uni i am getting errors because of my textures and because of a licence problem. I would like to say that if I don’t finish this project it is because of Maya being unpredictable but to be honest i should have left myself more time at the end in case i ran into render problems. Apart from not being able to finish on time i am pretty happy with the realism i have managed to create, I’m using mental ray so I’ve had to sacrifice time with quality. Hopefully it will all come together.
