Project Objectives

Within the brief i was set a number of points to cover within the project.

1: To concentrate on Two characters. I have Decided on Cornelius the gorilla and Pocahontas the small girl for the two characters. I have done some character designs and research to begin this.

2: Use one of the three major packages of Maya, Lightwave or Max. I have decided to go with maya as it is the one i know best but i still have much to learn within this software package.

3: The model must be of less than 100,000 polygons and be textured decently. For this i will create a simple model with a low polygon count, then i can take it into z-brush and make it more detailed. I need to look more into texturing models.

4: Support work for character designs, development drawings and character sheets with orthographic drawings of each character. For this i have done many sketches of the characters and have begun to do orthographic drawings of the characters in all positions to get a better picture of the final outcome.

5:Expressive animation sequences. I have done some research into how gorillas move including watching them at the zoo first hand, and watching videos on u tube. This i hope to incorperate into my animating, and get realistic movement.
