Slow Start

This monday was another slow start. Nobody really knew what needed to be done and Beth, who usually gives me stuff to do wasn't in until past 11AM. I worked on some of my own stuff for a while. Finally, she came in as well as Alex and some other people. We found out that the template we had used to create assets for the globes that would be mapped in 3d was not fitting correctly. That was bad news because it seemed like we were going to have to redo a lot of what we had already created. Luckly, Alex saved us and figured out a way to make it work so that we would only have to redo a couple maps.

I spent some time talking to Alex about his trip to New York. He had just gotten back the night before sounded like he was still a bit jet lagged. He told me that there were a lot of Japanese designs at the competition, but it was hard to judge them because no one really understood what they said, but they were pretty. It sounded like a lot of the entries, especially the commercial work, were not to amazing and that it became painful going through so many entries. Sounded like he had a good time though.

Later, I observed as he was working with one of the 3D artists on mapping out maps to the globes that would be used in the video. I was also watching other 3D artists creating some amazing fly threws for a different part of the Autodesk project. I spent the rest of the day fixing some of the other maps and it was lucky we didn't have to redo as much as we had originally thought.
