This week our group is preparing for the December Showcase and finishing a draft of our film completely in 3D. To do this we have to divide our team up into two groups: Shot Production and Environmental Development. Some of our environments aren't ready to go in Unreal or aren't ready for the blocking to go into the Unreal scene. So half of our team is getting our environments ready for blocking and a push through our pipeline. The other half of the group is working on blocking through our pipeline for the environment that's ready. We've completed blocking for the Earth section and Alien Bathroom section, our longest sections. The next set we have ready is the Operation Room and the ones being worked on are the Abduction Bay and Hallway.
I specifically am one of the Shot Production team members. I'm currently working and finishing the Maya blocking of about 4 or 5 shots and will put them in Unreal once it is ready for the pipeline production.
As environments are being finished, the shot developers will start blocking and pushing the shots through the pipeline. I'm close to being done with these shots and will be putting them into Unreal. The Hallway is the one most likely to be done the quickest so we assigned the shots for that one since it is also the smallest section in our short film. We'll continue this way until our short film is ready for the showcase and I'll be working on putting these into Unreal and blocking the next section when it's ready. Till next time!
