On Friday, I felt ready to explode with stress, over the project, over the completion date, basically over everything. I was pretty much on the Verge of tears. Honestly, luckily no-one saw my lip quivering. :(
So, now it's Monday and I've been in max for 4 hours nearly, along with some other group members, and once again I want to cry. This time it isn't due to people arguing or just being plain rude and not doing as I as ( I do not mean that as bossy as it sounds, but after all I am the project manager), No this time it is due to the ******* (insert word here) computers. I have managed to set up a camera view of an enemy fleet. This looks quite good, but as i try to move the ships slightly for an animation to show them moving through the water, the computer tells me it has no memory and closes. This has happened about 6 or 7 times and I am unsurprisingly at the end of my tether.
Anyways, I'll ask Tim if maybe he can ad the very small animation before rendering the scene. This will help tremendously. Once the scene is created it can be added to, or maybe just switch the Trinidad for the Victory and change the placing of the smaller ships to indicate the English fleet. These scenes are to replace scenes 11, 14, and 16 to remove the need for the people being injured, purely as this will increase the rate at which we can complete the project.
I feel that the computers in the rooms we use are not really fit for the purpose of our course, but all fingers crossed this will not cause too many problems, and the animation will come together.
So, I feel I should try again at maybe creating an English fleet, that way if it is OK with Tim maybe he can merge the two to great a great over view shot.
Apart from the problems I've been having, I have managed to complete scene 21, other than needing a sky, and maybe some ship bobbing (referred to also as movement but I prefer bobbing!)
For now,
BYE!
