This week I had three major goals. I wanted to finalize King Arthur’s head and get it ready to be pelted, I also wanted to start making progress with the Library. I have put together a list of assets the Library will need, it is as of now still open to have items added by anyone who thinks of anything I forgot. In one of our group meetings we also decided on the final look and feel of the Library. I also spent some time figuring out the Gantt chart issue in one of our meetings, more on that later.

King Arthur’s head is ready for texture at this point. I spent another 6 hours or so adding the rest of the geometry and then sculpting  some final touches, the head is at 80% I would say. In all I think the head turned our well, the ears might be a bit small now that I am looking at the completed head. They will be covered by a hood once King Arthur has had the full costume treatment so I am not terribly worried about it.

The look we are going for with the Library is highly inspired by the Library of Congress, I think you will see that in the sample images provided below. We want to incorporate the old feel the Library of Congress and old hardback books with the feel of space age technology which will come from things like the pillars, lights and other furniture. The asset list and some sample images of the Library are below. I spent a good 10 hours or so creating assets and assembling them in the Library. The Library is at about 30% or so.

Finally I have gotten to the bottom of our Gantt chart issues. It all comes down to the template used when exporting. The first one we used did not export the red and blue lines, even though they were turned on in the file. The second template we used did not export all the contact info for each resource. For this export we have used the default template. The default template does include all the information required.
