To: Everyone.

Group,

We have been burning a lot of time. No more classes can be missed by anyone (unless it is an immense emergency), due to there not being an even amount of communication being distributed.
There is good news, and bad news.
The good news is, that so far, everything looks awesome, and we're well on our way to finishing!
The bad news is, a lot of time has been burned due to perfectionism and not just blocking out scenes and heading forth with a strong head.
With that being said, we need to give our 100% to EVERYTHING, and this includes updating and checking the blog (I cannot be the only one updating this thing, people!), checking emails, being communicative in class, being present (body and mind), sorting through everything that we have done, ie. scenes (and possibly documenting everything, since there are a LOT of files that, when I see them in the Open box, I have no idea what is what), and just being positive.

Here is where we stand, percentage-wise with all of our scenes:
1. Cathedral Envi.: 100% modeled; 100% UV'd.
2. Houses: 100% modeled; 25% UV'd; 15% Textured.
3. Subway: ???
This one is tricky. Melissa, I have no idea where your scene is/what it is titled for this. We found 3 different railroad scenes, but all were earlier forms of your work, and we cannot find your latest work. Inform us, please, on where we as a group can locate this for future reference.
4. City 'scape: 75% modeled; 25% UV'd.
5. Props: 50% modeled.

Here is what needs to be done.

Nicole: Cavern camera plan and execution; referencing all houses into the scene; working on stalagmites.
Kellen: City 'scape (arranging everything).
Linda: UV and texturing up to two houses. Good job on the first one so far! You rock!
Melissa: Let us know where the railroad is located; texturing the railroad.
Anyone (?) Make pottery, urns, etc. for fillers in the Hearth Room/Cathedral/etc.

You are all fantastic, group, and with a lot of effort, and a little magic (and no sleep whatsoever), we can DO THIS!
