Created page with "== Files == All files for the train live in $SVNROOT/lib/models/vehicles/ * train.blend (currently the old version, this is what links to files) * train_interior.blend ( for act ..."

New page

== Files ==
All files for the train live in $SVNROOT/lib/models/vehicles/
* train.blend (currently the old version, this is what links to files)
* train_interior.blend ( for act II)
* train_lowRes.blend (maybe defunct)
* train_prog.blend (new design, ultra high poly model by Josh, needs cleanup, rigging, reduction)
* train_mid_prog.blend ( aborted midway progress of reduction of high poly train)

== Tasks ==
* Investigate: Understand what lives where
* Delete redundancies in in-progress work
* Organize in-progress work: object names, layers, groups, layernames.
* Finish In progress low and mid polification.
* Rig train models (all)
* create final groups for linking
* test to make sure we stay compatible (or that modifications are doable) for files linking to the old train model.
* drop the new model in for the old in scenes.
* create subgroups esp. for ultra HI poly versions.
* Begin materials and texturing.

		+	-objects are all marked (by making a selection in edit mode) ready to be
		+	split up (separated but preserving linked dups and renaming in a way which
		+	makes it clear what belongs to what) into
		+	-ultra high detail (rivets etc, to be automatically parented to the
		+	corresponding 'regular' component)
		+	-regular
		+	-layers are now all OK (fixed with a script and manually checked after the
		+	layer bug
		+	-ready for baking BUT found a bug (not yet reported: modifiers break baking
		+	in some cases (bevel does for sure))
		+	-to workaround I'll get the script to toggle the renderability of
		+	modifiers before baking, then restore the previous state etc.
		+
		+	then im ready to start the big bake.
		+	it seems like PNGs will be smaller than JPGs for the quick&dirty monochrome
		+	AO maps so will use those
		+	there are ~500 unique meshes, of which I think at least half will get map
		+	files (some don't need separating)
		+	I think it will take my PC around 1-2days to complete all of the baking and
		+	separating, I'll commit as I go every few hours (the script saves the blend
		+	every run - the write file time is negligable compared to the unwrap/bake
		+	time).
		+
		+	I'll go ahead and make _LO _HI and _CU groups.
		+	The HI and CU groups will be pretty much ready as soon as the autobake is
		+	complete, the _LO may take me a little while
		+
		+	I'll try and get parenting sorted (fingers crossed the bugs are gone)
		+	not sure how much time I'll have next week for rigging the pantograph /
		+	fitting the interior
		+	how much time I'll have partly depends on whether the script goes well or if
		+	theres a lot of cleanup to do!
