Behind

Yup, I hate to say it but it's true. Issues outside of University have limited my work time on the production, and i'm a fair bit behind! However, I do have most of my set built (not textured, but built) and I shall post images of it as soon as I take some, i.e. when I open Maya back up.

I also have a completely modelled and UV'd Ioan character! (Again, I will post pics of this stuff shortly) He did have blend shapes built into his face, but in Friday's update with Mr Manning, they proved problematic and OTT, so although it sets me back a while, in the interest of doing better I have started building a facial rig system using the Stop Staring Animation guide by Jason Osipa.

I've done the nurbs shape test, and I have rigged Ioan's face the way stated, but until I can get the custom shelf for building the rest, I have to stop. I'll render out a playblast when next i'm in Maya and stick it up (hopefully).
