  • Station concepts and Sequence editor
    Tube - Epic Production Notes - 2010-03-05 20:11:18

    While Bassam’s been editing the animatic in the sequence editor, we’ve been feeding him with boards and exploring a little with some concepts. A few days ago Pablo did some great designs for the train, and lately we’ve been doing some for the station.

    Edited: Added the train concepts.

    In the process of editing we found troublesome bug in the sequence editor where animation data gets linked to newly added sequences – this seems to be connected to old deleted strips. In an attempt to avoid this he’s been using a python script I wrote ( based on a suggestion by Colin Levy) that renames all strips with new unique names. This is a stopgap until we report the bug…

    sequences rename script.py
    (don’t worry, we’ll submit a bug report- it took us a while to figure out exactly what was triggering the bug, but we think we can make it repeatable now)

    Feedback Episode for March 2010.

    Some excellent news: no break in the video tutorial release schedule! I thought my overseas trip would make it a bit difficult, but I've had a nice reprieve from work and am able to create a backlog of video.

    Thanks for the feedback from the following listeners:
    • Nixon
    • Todd
    • Lars
    • Erik
    • Wahooney
    A special mention to Erik who emailed a relevant picture to do with vertex counting:
