Ahh that time again where I am on the brink of starting a new project for college. Things have gone okay so far with one hitch. This year, we have to create an animation based on whatever we want. Its a free reign! Most people did a game but I decided that it wasnt for me so I've done a straight cgi animation. The animation is about Jay, who pours salt on a snail, pisses off Queen Karma and gets turned into a snail himself. Thats it but its a lot of work. So much so i have had to cut the animation in half. When I came to schedule the animation I just had no time to do it so I have just got Jay pouring the salt on the snail. Its still a lot of work. I am straight animating everything this time not using "footsteps" built into 3ds max. I feel I have learned so much in the last year about it that I want to use it all and produce something I can be proud of.
