Group Project Part 1 - First Meeting

Just days before handing in that dreaded 3D head, my group made up of only three people at the time had our first "official" meeting. We basically looked through the photos that were taken by one of my group members at the museum, and we decided on a machine known only as "Arthur Mumford's Favourite Boiler Feed Pump". No official name, model number or anything like that, all we know that it was apparently Mr Mumford's favourite.



Since I couldn't go to the museum myself, I wasn't able to get too much of a good look at the machine, so it's just as well that Craig took plenty of photos from different angles for me to use as reference images for my part of the machine.

Craig's task as far as modelling goes is to make the left part of the machine, and he will also be gathering any information he can get regarding this machine. He also seems to have something of a leadership role within the group. Ryan will be modelling the right side, and he hopes to be able to work with elements such as fire and water. And finally, since these two have given me good feedback for my animations from last year, I have been given the task of modelling the piece in the middle, the only part which actually needs animating.

I'll go into a bit more detail in my next entry, which will basically be a copy of what I've posted in the group blog.
