Week 2 Sept 4 - 10th

Measurable Outcomes
I looked up reference photographs on the internet. While this may seem like an easy task, it isn't because for 3d modeling you need reference photos from every conceivable view. I did find all the photos I needed for the truck. I am going to be modeling it based on a 1949 Chevy, which meats the clients requirements. The 4 door sedan and semi truck proved to be much more difficult. The second half of the list I didn't have time to look for.

Communication
Lori and I had our weekly meeting on Tuesday. We discusses which vehicles I was able to find reference for. She was pleased with the truck and asked me to start production of the model this week. She also said she would use some of her history teacher resources to find reference photos for other vehicles.

Next Weeks goals
Begin production on the truck model.

Reflections
I took realtime modeling in the spring semester, but I don't feel like I learned very much. So this is going to be a crash course in modeling. I looked online and found some tutorials that will hopefully help me, but it still won't be easy.

Other
I have a copy of Maya 3d 7 I bought in spring semester, but now Maya 8 is out and it has both 64 bit and dual core support, and I have a 64 bit dual core processor. Sigh, sometimes software companies can be really annoying.
