Week Five - Halfway Marker

Absentees: None

The main focus for this week was sorting as much as we could before Easter break.

The presentation with the tutors went pretty well this week, with plenty of useful feedback being given to us. Of course there are a lot of things to change and improve upon, but it feels like we're really moving along and keeping up a good pace, with the bulk of the main assets made and others coming along fairly quickly.

The next step is working on improving our textures, with dirt passes, aging and more details. In some places the geometry needs to be bumped up a bit too to get rid of some of the more angular looks, especially on cylindrical forms and curves. 

Everyone knows what they need to be getting on with, generally progress is being made and individuals are on track with their targets and their own goals. As most people have finished their assigned assets, the asset list has been extended, with extra scatter props being added for people to claim and make as they get time to work on more while polishing their original items.
We all know that Easter break will probably mean a huge drop in pace, so we have done as much as we could in the time before Easter and worked to make sure everything is almost finished, with the exception of a few minor things and the characters, which are all in progress.
