i guess we can hang out after the holiday. hey, listen. i've been working on a personal 3d project and messing around with cloth. The simulated cloth in Maya is fairly hard to master, and i've only learned just the beginning of it. Once you learn how to make a garment for your 3d character, you have to run the simulation. It is VERY memory intensive, even on my computer, which is still an okay computer. I have a 2.8 Ghz with a 1 gig of ram, but my video card is a bit old. If we do end up doing dynamic cloth for our 3d characters, we would need to use plenty of computers to render out snippits, and we would need lots of time to tweek it to look right (sometimes you get wierd corners on the tricky folds in the fabric). I'm not sure how this applies to max, but i'm sure it's pretty similar. Plus i'll be bringing a cd with some screen captures from Bambi on DVD. It has great snow reference, and it would look really nice if we could capture that look in 3d. Later - Nick

Cool! Jacob is messing with cloths in Max this summer. I don't know how it's gone for him. We'll have to test renders once school starts. Like I said before the guy alien maybe needs his collar to move a little and for the female I would like to have her dress move. Maybe we can have wind???? We also have
to see what Chase says about cloths. Cool, I bought Bambi and I'll check it out. We can even rent Bambi 2. Before the semester starts we need to find what art style we want.... Mr. Art director How detailed the textures will be... and then we'll need to bring it in class to show what you want and why you think this is good. Also (maybe once school starts) we need to come up with a full illustration of the environment (Snow) FEELING. How many trees ...where they are...Where is the House... You know just the feeling of the environment. I wanted to make it feel like we are in nature in the mountains. Big, isolated, cold. I wanted to work on the cabin too... actually make it feel like a cabin. Maybe put fire woods out side the cabin or a fence. For the ship interior I think (not 100% sure) we have made it
feel like a home. So, for sure we need to figure out the art style before school starts. I do not want to go back to school not knowing. I want to go to school knowing 100% what art style we want. So, let’s get that done. If you want to tackle the full illustration of the environment this summer.
Cool. I'll do an illustration too, but you'll have to do the final version.
Well, talk to you later.
