Soul Wanderer Blog Post #2

This week for Soul Wanderer I focused a lot on organization and research. After last week we had decided that we wanted to look into using Blender as our main software and not Maya, Harrison and I are the only ones in the group with past experience so while he worked on simulation testing I decided to do research into how to make the switch from Maya to Blender more manageable. One of the most interesting things I found was an add-on to make Blender have all the navigation and menus of Maya.

After talking with the group however, we decided that it may be in our best interest to try learning Blender as is first so we can better follow tutorials and because we believe some of the key binds in Blender are better. This week I also helped with making a starting Asset list based on the storyboards we currently have. I used Flynn's template and went over each shot to try and see what main story items we might need.

Flynn, Aika, and I also got together on Discord to talk about the schedule types that we have since we're all apart of the Scheduling and Organizing crew. Lastly this week I continued to modify the Discord after receiving feedback from the team when I presented it to them on Tuesday. My goals going forward are to look into tools and features of Blender that would make it easier on us to use and I was thinking about making a short Blender tutorial for the people who haven't used the software.
