2:30-3 PM

1. The grouped object of Kimmi dolls is animated on the factory conveyor belts on segment at a time

So far there haven't been any problems. When it comes time to render all I have to do is select the camera I want and then I'll edit it from there

I think that I'll actually be able to do a test render this afternoon, if it comes out right then I'll set up each one consecutively into a folder labeled MOV!!!

2/25/10 In/Outside of Class- 2

1:30-2:30pm

1. Shrank grouped object of Kimmi dolls, rotated axis and object to simplify the animation process
2. Switched to camera F1 perspective

In/Outside of Class 3/25/10

12:30-1:30 pm

1. Able to log in to the school computer but found that something in my account preferences is keeping me from being able to open and use Cinema 4D
2. I tried opening the program through opening the file and simply by trying to open the program itself on multiple computers and was unsuccessful
3. The exact cause is unknown but I was excused from the classroom setting to work at home where Cinema 4D opens for me while the problem is sorted out by one of the techs
4. Once home updates were installed to my computer and restarted
5. I opened the program and opened my most recent file upon inserting my flash drive into keyboard USB port
6. Opened Kimmi file in c4d and made adjustments to the shape, size, texture, number of dolls, grouped them, merged them into main file scene2_3_25_2.c4d

3/25/10 Outside of Class

10:40 am - 12:00 pm

1. Set up camera in the Lobby & animated it
2. Set up 5 cameras in the factory scene (cams are stationary)

3/25/10 Outside of Class

1:20 am -Went over files and blogged about tuesday's class

1. Opened file scene2_3_23_3 and found a mistake with the texture application following my actions in  class when I grouped objects together
2. For the sake of time I decided to choose one of the tag textures and move on
3. Added Another Camera called Lobby Cam

PLANS BTW NOW & CLASS:

1. Animate camera to focus on screen
2. Set up cameras in the factory itself approx. 4 cameras in total (all stationary except for one)
3. Merge Kimmi Dolls into the Factory and arrange in a group on conveyor
4. Pick 2 audio tracks; 1 for in the factory and the 2nd for the entrance into the lobby

PLANS FOR CLASS:

1. Animate the Kimmi Dolls moving down the conveyor
2. Animate separation sequence
3. Animate texture application (on/off)

IN Class 3/23/10

3/23/10

1. Retrieved necessary file with my flash drive and switch to another computer (saved on: HD, FD, & House/ filename: scene2_3_23)
2. Added buildings to cityscape
3. Tested various textures
4. Merged FaktoriR file to scene2_3_23
5. Multiple files were saved with particular changes: scene2_3_23_1, scene2_3_23_2(with multi textures), scene2_3_23_3(most up to date)
6. Set up and animated camera to spline > tested movement > tested angles > adjusted (timeline plotted)

Today's "Plans" 3/23/10

1. Move to another Computer where cinema 4d works and transfer my work files to the hard drive
2. Set up lights and cameras
3. Find and load sounds
4. Animate

Note to Self: 

I fell behind due to overextending myself in everything that I'm doing and thus exhausted myself. On the 18th from 8:30-9:45 PM I was able to make some additions to the city scape when I couldn't find a place to download one quickly (I had been multitasking and split my screen between youtube for my brothers and cinema 4D; as I was working on and off on that day I found that the factory room that I had put conveyor belts on wasn't saved to my flash drive, I only had the file before there were conveyor belts and this discouraged me from putting cameras and lighting into an incomplete space that I knew were on the hard drive on the school's computer that I usually work at.

Also in looking at my schedule was flawed, I didn't put down time to animate, only time to render and edit so I'll do as listed above and have it completed by MARCH 24th, 2010 (WEDNESDAY)

That means I'll be able to do a test render either late wednesday night or by thursday morning after my first class that ends at 9:45 am.
