Blog Post #7

Hi and welcome to another blog post! After production passes last week, we got together as a group to talk about the notes we were given and discussed what changes we were going to make. We also watched the movie Flow and analyzed how they went about creating the cat character and the general aesthetic of the film. 

For this week I worked on giving Barthalamew his sweater version. We decided that we wanted to duplicate his original mesh and then extract the faces from the original mesh. Then we extruded those sweater faces to give it extra volume.

I also worked on giving different 'blend shapes' to Barthalamew. I added a closed eye blend shape and will work on a ears back, and mouth open blend shape next. Then I am also working on the cat bed as well.

Other than those, nothing else further going on this week.

Here is Barthalamew's sweater version, the first image is with it on him and the second is what the meshes look like separated.
