Measurable Outcomes - Since this is the first week of the semester and the project there are no measurable outcomes yet. But the plans have been made for what I should accomplish for the rest of the semester. I will be working on some of the model for Shadows of Canaveral Phase 1 and Phase 2. There are 6 specific models I will need to complete before the end of the semester. They are:
  1. Semi Cab
  2. 4 Door Sedan
  3. WW2 Jeep
  4. 1962 corvette
  5. Panel Van
  6. Station Wagon
To make these models I will need to find source images from all angles.

Communication -
Lori Walters, My client emailed me at the beginning of the week to set up a meeting. In addition she asked me to help find her modelers if possible. She asked me to meet again next week at the same time we met this week.

Next Weeks Goals -
For next week I agreed to look up model pics and identify and problems. The goal is to make sure I have everything I need to start production of models.

Reflections -
So all the experience I gained through the Red Bull Project, about working with clients has been invaluable. Lori wants me to do modeling, and while I have some exeriance modeling with Maya, I don't know 3d studio max at all. So I need to learn 3d studio max as a part of this project.

Other -
I am worried about how the modeling is going to go. But if I work hard and get some books, hopefully I stand a chance.
