Week 5

This week I finished texturing the rest of the piano.  I decided to keep the lid closed and added the brass accents.  I also modified the floor plane so that it is no longer wood but a wood colored surface.  Also I’ve been working on developing a technique for animating the piano keys.  All the rotation points are in place and I have a short video with the intro part of the song with the keys animated.  I have a decent and efficient technique down now and the animating should not take quite as long as it did this weekend.

Piano - Final Texturing

I’ve also ordered motion capture markers so that I can create my own gloves.  The ones that came this past week will not work as they are too small.
