Lost everything

its the thing ive dreaded for so long, all of my work from this year and second year have now gone. i don't no how but when i booted up my pc for some reason the pc wont recognise my hard drive, and ive tried everything to fix it. everything i have like work or personal stuff is on the hdd and it wont boot up, not to mention maya zbrush and other programs,it feels like a shit day now

Team Fortress Inspiration

Guys,
Take a look at some of these screenshots of the various environment. You can see very simple modelling that is heavily stylised but conveys shapes and object without being over detailed. Textures are also painted giving the world a bold and colourful look. Something to think about when it gets to the production stage of the project. I've also got a document i found about the rendering they used on the game that I'll show you guys on Monday.

Laters.

Idea for the Sniper scene.

Hey guys, yes it's me that loser who makes blog posts on a Friday night! I came up with an idea for the sniper scene. feel free to gun it down.

Basically, it picks up from where the storyboard leaves off. Our hitman can seem to line up a good shot. After getting frustrated he climbs a tree outside. He begins to crouch on a very flimsy branch. He keeps edging further along the tree as he is looking down his scope. Suddenly he knocks a birds nest out of the tree, as we hear the eggs smash on the floor. The hitman looks left and right in a panic, but sees nothing there. He sighs in relief. A sound is heard, and he looks upwards. Above him is a massive bald eagle, looking pretty miffed. The eagle attacks him and he falls out of the tree smacking into every branch and landing on a car setting off the alarm.

Schedule Update

Hey guys.
Just thought I'd catch everyone up on what happened today. Sam and I were at Rave to do the old MS Project stuff. Went ok however we cud probably all do with looking over it and discuss it together at some point next week just to agree on a final version. Its only printed out in rough at the moment on the board and that's what I'll be posting up here over the weekend (if I remember). Think thats about it for schedule.
Sam did some sweet concepts of our hitman (who SO needs a name coz we can't call him HITMAN all the time...just for us refering to him) which are up on our boards but he needs to scan them in.

Oh and by the way its going to be even harder to find a computer with MS Project on now as the IT dude was 'updateing' software and taking off MS P and adding in word, excell and all the other jazz....really useful considering we all need project atm. lol but nevermind. Good job we got the copy we got last year floating around somewhere.

PS we are now running on Maya 2010 I believe in the 3rd yr room so check that out when you can to familiarise urself (if your going to be working on those comps) Don't want to be slowed down by new software!


PPS DONT FORGET TO SAVE ALL YOUR WORK AND DON'T LOSE ANY OF IT. YOU'LL HAVE TO HAND IN A DIGITAL FILE AT THE END OF THE YEAR!!!!!

Laters ppl!

Another sniper rifle idea

I just thought of another scenario we could use for the sniper rifle scene. Well you could have the hitman load up his gun, showing that he only has the one bullet and then set aim on his target. And seeing how the hitman carries his own little message device, we could have that go off while he was about to take shot of his target. I’m still trying to think of why the beeper would go off, possibly a warning message or it could just be a glitch in the system

I been up in my lab ass-em-ba-lin



Another update to the boards over at my blog homies.

IDEAS

Hey guys I think that the first joke with the sniper rifle has got to be a really good one, if it doesn't make them laugh, then the rest of the film will be difficult for the audience. I'll have a think but so should everyone else.

PS. Dan those ideas weren't too bad!

New Font... Sam and I found



Ps check the name! found on Da Fonts .com

Font Ideas

Some fonts for the possible title. Let me know what you think or make suggestions. Kinda like the second one cos it's simple but still has a hitman look about it.
