Supervisor Meeting - Chris 1

I have been assigned two supervisors for the duration of the course due to the nature of my project. Having met with Jeannette the previous week it was time for Chris Rowland. Chris's background is in groundbreaking visualisation techniques used for generating accurate images of shipwrecks etc. on the ocean floor and is therefore very practical and technologically minded. We discussed the 3D aspects of my project and scruitinised my model so far which was great as I now have a much better file size and work flow set up. The specific points which were discussed were:

Meeting Notes/ Conclusions
- Approach to creating the 3D model and Chris confirmed that using CAD drawings as reference was appropriate
- Using Maya more effectively to reduce file size by explaining how and when to use instance and duplicate and ways where items should be kept as separate groups/blocks and layers
- Discussed other ways to clean up the file in order to make file size easier
- Went over the basics required for gathering HDRI's of the live action site
- Discussed the validity of the project and the possibility of experimenting with different textures and visualisation styles once the model was mapped.
