Investigation Blog Post

This week I was not all that productive because I just could not decide exactly how to continue but now I know roughly what I want to have done this marking period and how I am going to go about doing it although I am still not sure how much I will have done. 

So i decided that making and rigging a model was far from worth the time it would take to do it especially because I already know how so I decided to download one from blend-swap that was pretty much the best basic male model I could find

I edited the model and made it slightly better in quality by subdividing it and made it slightly skinnier like I would want my characters to be in the story in sculpt mode and hoped it would not cause any problems.

satisfied with how my model looked I thought I would give Mixamo a try once again to save time and because I think it is awesome that it works so well and is free. And it worked really well my character is fully rigged and ready now with as far as I can tell no problems. At first I thought there was a problem because when I hit al R and lt G it completely deformed my model but that is because I did it in object mode at first and not pose mode.

so overall I probably could have started sooner and this was a bit of a slow week but I do not doubt that I will be back on track soon and honestly even though it did not take long I have made a-lot of progress.
