What's the matter with them ROBOTICZ?

Hey guys, little updates lately! There's a reason for this! We just had our MID-PRODUCTION ASSESSMENT, which means our first 8 (almost 9 now!) weeks are spent, and we have just 8 (well, more like 7 almost...) weeks left!

But of course we have other classes in school too that needed adressing, so we all had a very, very hectic week and are now trying to get back up to working full speed again! TO RECAP:

• -The father and daughter are completely finished.
• -René is animating the first shots!
• -The set is completely done, and Tom is THIS |<---->| close to figuring out all the render issues
• -The money shot matte painting that will be our opening shot is NEIGH COMPLETION
• -The robot is nearly finished!
• -We should really make a thread on CGsociety?

Anyway, here's what I'm gonna do right now! And what will finish the robot, even!

1. Script all the machinery
2. Finish rigging the two remaining arms (why do we have FOUR?!)
3. Make some DRIVEN KEYS for the lens on his face
4. Make the needle system which you don't know about yet =3
5. Figure out how to implant Tom's wonderful image sequences
6. Fix the scale on the Global Controller I've made (damned parent constrains :D)
7. Look for them horrible weightpaint errors that are bound to be hiding somewhere
8. Send it to classmates for CRASH TESTAN!

Well, I hope to have most of this done by tonight (upto point 5) and the rest by tomorrow. Expect more then!
