Meeting with Academic Supervisor 03/02/2011

The meeting with Lynn went well so far, as I've discussed with her the following agendas towards my project's process:

• Creating the project's topic in online forums.
• Search for animator with advertisement.
• 3D and UDK tutorials and technology research.
• Plannings for Dissertation.

We've the discussed and agreed some good suggestions for me to choose suitable and limited forums (at least up to 6 online forums), and start searching for an animator by creating an advertising poster while she could find some animators from her class and any other groups in the computer arts course and the masters class. She also suggests that I should email Robin Sloan (teaches UDK to 3rd year compuer arts group) to ask for advice and suggestions about using UDK, stick with practicing in ZBrush, UKD, and Maya for the tutorial stage. And also to have a tutorial meeting with Colin Cartwright to ask for advice about the dissertation structure.

So these are the agreed action points that I will need to work on for the next few weeks before we would have our next meeting:

• Write up draft version of the topic for the online forums.
• Identify the chosen and specific online community forums (especially those that are suitable for this project).
• Create posters and write short brief, including about how much time the animator needs to work on creating the character animations between Maya and UDK).
• Continue to practice in ZBrush, UDK, and Maya.
• Contact Robin Sloan for advice on UDK.
• Contact Colin Cartwright for advice on dissertation structure, and ask for any feedbacks from research proposal.
• Continue to stay on track with the project's Gantt chart.
