Recently I've been looking into DaZ tutorials to get myself acquainted with the interface of the software. I downloaded the newest version of DaZ studio and began toying with the features. Looking back I'm glad I decided to try it out first. The new interface is very different from the one used in Kevin's Animation class. Thankfully, the necessities are relatively the same in both versions.
In looking for tutorials, I found that one skill I was completely lacking in was lighting. We covered it very minimally in the class, and never really got to put the ideas into practice. Knowing I'll be doing lighting in my work, I looked into it and found a very in-depth tutorial on the basics of lighting along with some handy tricks to make the process easier. You can check out the tutorial here.
I've also been busy finding different sound effects to use in the short. Finding specific sounds (like combat armor scraping on concrete) has been very difficult, but I've still got some ideas as to where I can find suitable sounds. Most of my sound effects are being pulled from either FreeSound.org or from the GarageBand sound library. I'll also have to record some very minor voice work and work with it in either GarageBand or Soundtrack Pro to filter it correctly.
