After several weeks of story grinding and iteration, we finally decided to use the storyline offered by John. In this story, the main character purchased the magic ink and guide book online but skips necessary medium level lessons and gets turned into 2D by the lost-control magic rune. This story is easier to convey so we decided to move on with this one and start to make a 1 minute animation before the half. For this week, Clare starts to work on modeling and rigging the feather pan and the magic book. And Qin explores 2d VFX for the 2d/3d transformation in the animation.
Neal and Zi continue to work on switching the hand model. With Clare’s assistance in adjusting the model’s bone and rigging. The team successfully made hand-capture work in our customized model. Furthermore, the current model even supports lower arm movement which the built-in model doesn’t support.
The team also completed production materials including team logo, team poster, team photo and team website.
