Progress so far

Today i decided to take the day off from uni and continue working at home on the project. So far its looking good as completing the animation for 29th May become more doable. Yesturday me and Ash completed texturing the fishes which was good, but the only problwm that we have is that uni is currently using Maya 8.5 and the one im using at home is Maya 2009. Thier has been a few issue of our work not loading up currectly on the uni computer and the reason was of the two different Maya software versions. Like on Wednesday i textured the fish at home and brang it in the next day to show Ash but the file would not open up. The first thing i did was go straight on to google to try and find a solution becuase most of my work was done at home and i did not want to start all over again just to have it working on the uni computers. Ok for any one not knowing how to get your Maya 2009 scene file working on either Maya 2008 or 8.5 just follow these steps

• When your in Maya 2009 and you want to save your work make two copis one as a .MB (this will be your personal copy to use at home). The second copy should be saved as a .MA.
• Take the Maya .MA file to a computer which has Maya 8.5 or 2008
• Do not open up your file, right click on the your scene file and chosen open with word editor or notepad
• Once your there all you have to do is change where ever it has the words Maya 2009 to Maya 8.5
• Once done save file and close, you should now be able to open up your scene file on a Maya 8.5 version

Ok now back to our progress, well yesturday me ad ash gave our self an object to complete. We aimed at having the the rigging and blenshapes completed before Monday, we were having Monday a day for us to start filming and at the same time start animating this week coming.
