Works In Progress?

Don't think there are any for now? Other than getting ready for GDC that is.

Next Steps

• Get prepared for the presentation with the team.

Issues

• Weightpainting was the biggest issue this week. Not really sure why I couldn't get it working right. But I solved it by using the weightpaint from the units and transfering it to the superunits. It worked out in the end.
• There were some pops in the animation cycles for some of the units/superunits. I'm not really sure why there was popping in Unity when the animation loops smoothly in Maya. I tweaked the animation curves in Maya to fix it, but it's not 100% gone. There is still a slight pop but not as noticeable.

Last Minute Comments

I got all the animations in and we are practicing for the presentation. I am excited to go to GDC again and hopefully our team will have a blast there. GO WHALES!
