We had a look at our production schedule and moved around some of the scenes. Frederik had some "spare time" and wanted som cg animation so we though of giving some of the scenes to him. I gave him two of mine. I gave one to Peter as this scene really had to be done well ("final" scene), and I was behind schedule.. and it was the frog, which I had not been animating yet and Peter knows him quite well. After the last meeting with Michelle we realized that we had to have the 30 seconds of animation to be able to pass, so I took back the two scenes I gave to Frederik. I am now 30 seconds.. but only just..

8/5

Been animating. Tuesday adn Wednesday this week I did renderlayers so that we can start rendering as soon as possible.

I keep having problems with the mesh of the cahracter.. I open a scene which was perfectly fine and suddenly a part of the mesh is stuck to the floor. It is always the area around the jar. Sunit had a quick look and said it was some painted weights that were not 100% painted.. Peter checked and they are 100% painted.. so manybe it is only on my computer or is it something I do?? It is very frustrating as I am behind schedule and do not have time to re-do any scenes.. This have happened to 4 of my scenes now. Scene 420 I re-animated, scene 450 magnus helped copying and transrferring the animation to at new model. In scene 480 the transfer did not work, but found a scene that was not far from the latest version that I could continue working with. Scene 31.. where I am now.. I do not know.. I am going home now.. had enough for today!
