Schedule...

Now that Katie has a final design we're moving on to the modelling phase, which will be done by Marc Dagatan.

Image Plane References

I modified Katies model sheet to further help the modelling process in Maya by having Katie in a T-pose, ready to be used in the image planes. Side view has no arm simply because the front view already has enough information to model the arm. Made extra arm references for the top view for a better visualization of the hands and fingers.

These are a few thumbnails of the character design process.

Rough Thumbnails

These first lot are a bit crazy with different proportions, sizes and shapes. Got carried away with the experimenting here.

Refined Thumbnails

These thumbnails were just more refined to what we already knew we wanted in terms of body type and size. Nice, clear, consistent silhouettes all holding enough visual information to conceive various character concepts. I like thumbnail #11 for its simplicity.

Production Schedule

This is our Production Schedule to help us keep on track with the tasks at hand. The group has been all over the place lately because its the first time for many of us working on a production. Hopefully this will help us find a more structured process for this assessment.
