Monthly Update

Things have been progressing, slowly. I've set a new deadline for my project as 12 days from now. That's ambitious, but it'll keep me going. If I have to push it back a couple weeks it wont be a big problem.

The biggest snags have come from computer problems. Maya and 3DS Max 2010 are sold together, but apparently cause some problems when loaded together on the same computer. Lame. I seem to have gotten around the errors but it took some time.

Maya is kind of laggy even though the polycount of my objects is staying below 10,000, and I don't have more than one object a scene yet. So there must be some setting that needs to be adjusted.

I'll be finishing up my main character's body today, then tomorrow I'll start making clothing and hair. My biggest problem is getting the area around the eyes to look right. Eyelids have a lot of creases.
