This session was about preparing my model and Maya page ready for animation. This started with deleting the side panels and making the background larger to eliminate negative space. I was still concerned at how jagged my model looked in render, and it turns out my model was only in smooth view and this did not affect the render. To conquer this, I was told to select the whole model and use the smooth tool in the menu. Although this will ultimately add to my render time, my model finally looks smooth as I intended.
Next was to sort out the sound for my quote. I originally intended to record myself saying the quote but I forgot so I sourced the quote from the internet. Once I found it I had to convert it to a .wav file.
Once this was done, I then imported the sound file to Maya and it appeared on the timescale. This will make it easier to animate my mouth to the sound.
I set up my Maya page so that I could see the soundtrack, my model and also my Blendshapes so everything I need to animate with ease without having to flick around Maya trying to find loose windows. When I get back from Easter break I will be ready to animate and render.
