I've sent the turnaround animations to the client and I am waiting for her reply back via outlook email. I also sent another email, if the video goes corrupt or didn't work I just send my YouTube link where my videos reels are stored on there just as a back up plan. For this practice project in my opinion, I didn't like it that much though eventually I got it through and now I can finally focus on my other work more too. Such as my Final Major project and animations for the portfolio. I've done my turnaround for the character on Maya which was quick and simple to do. I managed to upload the play blast on my YouTube channel and send the video file to the client. For the progress of the turnaround it was so simple and easy to do. First though I didn't understand what to do so I went on YouTube to look up a tutorial video. Once that was done I then imported my characters and start doing one by one with the turn table animation. Each one of them were 160fps which is not that bad. I set up three lights in each different directions to give a different contrast area. All of them were area lights. The best outcome of the turnaround animation I would say would be the Chip Man animation. The volume of the lighting was the best and It handle quite well. I didn't liked the sugar spirit cause of how wrong it looked with lighting plus the textures as well. At least I managed to complete it which is nice. I am still waiting for her feedback. However on the other hand for the animation there were some slight technical issues with it. The files got lost as I didn't save it and keep crashing whenever I try to render for some reason which lead me to reinstall Maya a couple of times or restarting my computer. I then got fed up about it and then gave up on it so then I just kept the turnaround animatic instead, which I guess to me was enough and enough with this project too. Though working with a team was better than I thought it would be and it gave a boost in speed with the production pipeline.
