Stuff to do!

2016/08/15 - Week 53 - Dead...

Other stuff I did:

2016/08/08 - Week 52 - Finally back on track (almost...)

Other stuff I did:
- Haha I forgot about the other stuff I did section XD
- For the last few weeks I've been kind of a mess due to several reasons, but I'm slowly getting back on track and improving my efficiency and whatnot, so I'm hoping I'll be able to start to balance all the Electronic Mind Studios stuff with schoolwork (in the past whenever I worked on SS my grades and schoolwork would lower, and vice versa).
- I should probably make a blog post at some point soon too XD
- Maybe a Vlog...I'm sick so that could go really well or really badly haha.

2016/08/01 - Week 49 - Realtime AO and GI Stuff!

Other stuff I did:

2016/07/25 - Week 46 - Yay no school for a week, time for productivity!

Other stuff I did:

2016/07/18 - Week 45 - Get Next Update Out Aaaahhh!!!

Other stuff I did:

2016/07/11 - Week 38 - Another tutorial, maybe a short video?

Other stuff I did:

2016/07/04 - Week 36 - More tutorials + Get back on top of school

Other stuff I did:

2016/06/27 - Week 35 - Forgot to update the checklist again...

Other stuff I did:

2016/06/20 - Week 25 - Aaaaand I'm Back!

Other stuff I did:
- Wow, been a while since I updated this! Will try and fill it all out promptly and use it more often haha XD
- Alright, so I'm currently working on many different incomplete systems in Shader Sandwich concurrently. I've got the volumetrics system, the global realtime AO system, improved pluginability (yes I know it's not a word), presets, complete re-working of shader generation, code viewer/editor, custom layers, vastly improved interface etc etc. And they're all tangled up! So I've got to work out what t
- Alright, so improved pluginability and re-working of generation are intertwined, so that's tricky. Presets will also come under improved pluginability. So I think improved pluginability is the first step.
- Also begun watching the X-Files from S1, am enjoying it :D.

2016/06/13 - Week 24 - VCE eats into my life.

Other stuff I did:
- Final week of the hiatus. Hooray, school started! And I was not prepared whatsoever for the amount of homework, so that through me for a loop a bit. Am used to it now, but yeah, this week I was pretty much swamped and I was so bad at scheduling my time it took me most of the week to complete it haha XD

2016/06/06 - Week 23 - Desperate attempts to film.

Other stuff I did:
- Continuing the hiatus:
- This week was a bit of a let down. We planned to film but the days kept falling through, set availability, the actors having work, all that sort of stuff made it impossible to get everyone 'round. It kinda bummed me out, not gonna deny. I mostly just spent the week toying with the footage we had, working out the look of the Dark Void, that sort of stuff.

2016/05/30 - Week 22 - Filming bits of Moirai!

Other stuff I did:
- Went on a hiatus for a few weeks from updating the checklist, but here's what I did during it:
- So I managed to get everyone together twice that week to film, Monday and Friday at the Amanda's house set and Claire's house set.
- Monday didn't go too well, everyone was stilling working out how to work together, and I was mostly just in shock at having 5 other people around me, much less needing my direction haha XD. So yeah, I took some pretty bad shots, mic was unplugged in a couple, the footage was mostly unusable. It was pretty fun though :D
- Friday was quite a bit better! We started to get into the groove of filming and managed to get a good 7 mins done. I didn't handle making sure everyone was involved though, due to a large number of scene's just having the leading role. Next shoot I'll try and disperse the group scenes better throughout it.
- Oh yeah, I also started watching Teen Wolf. Despite the crappy name and mediocre first half a season it really expands into quite an engaging and reasonably complex show, was pleasantly surprised! :D

2016/05/23 - Week 21 - Alright let's actually get something done!

Other stuff I did:
- For those wondering I technically started this week a day early, just wanted to leave behind the uselessness of the last one haha :D
- By the way, the reason I hadn't recorded any tutorials in a while was because I was in the process of getting a much better microphone, figured I should just wait, but it took longer than expected haha :D

2016/05/16 - Week 20 - Volumetrics are such a pain!

Other stuff I did:
- Yeah I did basically nothing. I've been trying to add a catch-all method of volumetrics for Shader Sandwich but none have really panned out the way they should have (mostly due to Unity bugs grrrrr). So I'll have to settle on having a couple of different systems, ah well :/
- Oh, I just remembered I did publish an amusing VFX test (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FJFSjwChII), so that was fun :).

2016/05/09 - Week 19 - Moirai Related Stuff...

Other stuff I did:
- Sorry I didn't update the checklist this week!
- Just did a ton of Moirai stuff, wrote Episode 2, began to plan out locations and also worked on some VFX shots.
- Other than that, I celebrated Christmas down in a small town which was pretty fun :).

2016/05/02 - Week 18 - Custom Code and Code Viewing for Shader Sandwich!

Other stuff I did:
- Watched North by Northwest, was an incredibly enjoyable film. My favorite scenes were the waiting for Kaplin scene and the auction exit. The entire film was just really fun to watch though :D.

2016/04/25 - Week 17 - Back into Shader Sandwich!

Other stuff I did:
- Welp, just ended up watching Hitchcock films instead XD.
- Watched Vertigo and Shadow of a Doubt. Both were really great, but in all honesty I preferred Shader of a Doubt more (just for pure entertainment value). However I have a feeling Vertigo will hold up better on multiple re-watches.

2016/04/18 - Week 16 - Sudden Inspiration!

Other stuff I did:
- Went on a trip down to Lorne and went horse riding :D.
- Was part of a rubbish production...

2016/04/11 - Week 15 - Back with a usable computer!

- Started working on prelimenary work on the CG environment for a short film.

2016/02/15 - Week 7 - Actually complete last week...

Other stuff I did:
- Played SOMA by Frictional Games! It was absolutely fantastic, probably their best game yet. I don't think it was as scary as it could have been, but it makes up for it with an incredible and thought provoking story.
- Went back to the location and filmed during the cold nights for a total of 6 hours...

2016/02/08 - Week 6 - Release SS Bug Fix and Finish Videos!

Other stuff I did:
