Blog Progress update Week 3

This is the blog progress update for the week of January 28th 2013. This week I began an estimated three week project to model, and animate a quadruped model. I chose to model a dog since it seems like a relatively simple thing to create and animate that would have quite a bit of materials to reference back to for animating and modeling.

Drawing a dog was a tad bit more of a challenge than i was expecting mainly do to the fact that i'm really only used to drawing people. We haven't had much experience drawing animals in anyway shape or form. As such it took me much longer than i hoped to finish this drawing and even more time to get it scanned due to lacking a scanner anywhere near by meaning i had to walk back to the classroom and use that scanner. Anyway this week for the most part was more about setting up the model, since i don't expect it to take too long and it's not going to be textured in anyway. So in conclusion expect to see more progress next week as i begin the modeling and rigging process.
