Week+7+Lab

There is only one more video tutorial for this week. That is video 2 from day 3 here: http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-3ds-max/create-a-realistic-looking-mailbox-using-3ds-max-and-uv-layout-day-3/

People having problems with the UV for the mailbox breaking in to several smaller pieces when they press 0 and render to texture should make sure that under mapping coordinates 'Use existing channel' is selected and not 'use automatic unwrap'. Email me any questions you have. You should also be able to work on the texture in Photoshop even if you were not able to get the Ambient Occlusion pass to work.

Also, if you haven't already shown me your storyboard and talked to me about it scan it into the computer (if its not already on there), include a one paragraph description of your plan for the scene and what is going on with your storyboard, and email the information to me today.

Besides that you should be continuing your research and continuing to build your final scene.

Work hard! Time is short. Adjust your plan as you go along. Help each other. Do what you can. Don't get frustrated working on one thing for too long. Save your questions and ideas for us to talk about during class.
