Step Back

Ok, it feels as though I have gone backwards. The files I am using are too big...AGAIN. So here I am going back to earlier states and redoing some bits so that previous smaller files are completed and still saved small.

I have remade all my background characters. They are now 7,000 each instead of 99,000. Now I'm working on the two main characters. Luckily I already had a mostly complete version of Unluckyman that was half the size of the one I was using, so I'm using him instead now. I have a bit more work to do on Happyman though, his hands need doing (I bloody HATE rigging hands, I'm always rigging hands...) and his jacket seems a bit off. His head was completely undone so I have added new morph targets and rigged the head up again. The jacket is what I'm doing now.

here is a video of the jacket on it's on, moving like it is in a scene. I just wanted to see HOW off it was. The collar is the main thing that needs sorting...

But yeah, this feels like a massive step back. I need to work on my animation, but here I am doing stuff I was doing back in Semester 2.
