New Team Member!
Hey everyone! Been a while since the last update. There has been two new additions to the WORM project and thier names are Shannon and "Ol' Red". Shannon is a very skilled hard surface modeler from the Academy and will be building "Ol' Red" (your everyday rusty, old pick-up truck that lives in the back of many yards throughout America). Since Roger has his hands full with the environment itself, Shannon has jumped aboard to tackle the truck. The following image is a vector render of a low res truck I generated to act as a reference for Shannon.

The next image is a screen shot of Shannon's progress after reviewing the render along with the scene file. I must say it's pretty exciting...the 3 of us have actually developed a pretty decent pipeline. Here you can see Shannon has started laying down the ground work (chasis, wheel assembly, etc.) based off of the concept discussed above.

You also may have noticed the cool new tire swing in the first render which does not appear in the second. This is because the tire used for the swing will come from the truck as well (which explains why the left back wheel of the truck is up on a cement block). Well, thats about it for now. Last but not least, Shannon should have his website up by the end of this week so expect a link to be floating around in future posts. More to come soon!

Wow! Looks like it's coming along great. I really like the idea of the whole thing along with the angle of the camera in that shot.
Very nice!
Thanks bud! Yeah half the battle for this project was developing the pipeline since none of us had really worked with other people on the same scene before and thats what had to be done...we cant afford to all be setting around waiting for someone else to finish up! The camera was the main issue initially but also ended up being the solution to most of our problems in the end. Once all that was worked out we were off. Its pretty powerful...we are all able to work on different aspects of the exact same scene simultaneously. Even though all of us live relatively close to one another and go to school together we still dont always get to meet as often as we would like to, so, we have been conducting our "dailys" over the web via instant messenger. Because of school and work schedules they tend to morph into weekly's! LOL!Anyways, its great. I could write a book just on the making of this short little film alone! It has already proven itself worthwhile just for the collaborative experience we have all obtained. Working with others is key. You could have the 3 most talented artists in the world working together but unless they can communicate their ideas to one another then it defeats the purpose!
