Maya Tutorial - Mirror Error

When I went to mirror the head I noticed that it didn't work the way it was supposed. It seemed to pinch part of the model out of shape for no reason.


When I tryed to move the vertexs I saw that the mirror had created an extar face as well.



I've had to undo the mirror and try it again but I still get the same results each time, I've also checked and double checked the mirror settings but they are the same as the ones in the video.

    Ok. The problem is that the vertices along the edge weren't aligned exactly on the centre of the grid.

    1) Select one side of the model and delete it.
    2) Select all the vertices on the inside edge (zoom in to make sure you get them all).
    3) Use the scale tool to align them - use a single direction (normally x-red) a few times until you see everything is in a line.
    4) Hold down the X key and snap the vertices back onto the centre line of the grid.
    5) Now mirror.

Minor: Pre-viz and notes

Image
This is the per-viz for my Minor project that I have been working on over the summer. I set about doing this to get a better idea of now some of the shots would play out and to test out now some of the pops be shown. I am happy with some of the shot, such as the way that the Sun and Moon are introduceed, close ups that I have used for both characters, the way that Moon swings round with the crown along with the way the image fades out on the Sun at the end. I'm not too happy with some of the shots that have the characters moving around but this might be because I was focused on the walk cycle and I might not need it in my finished animation. I also think that the shot of the sun and moon spining round might have been done abit better.

@Alan Collaboration: Walk Test

Walk Cycle test from Rhia Crouch on Vimeo . Been trying to work on Moom's walk for a skit but I'm not sure what else to do before I put him in to the screen so I can work out him swimming and coming out of the water. He is meant to walk as if he is weigh down by the goo and also wobbels a little bit. I know the eyes are off and there seems to be a phantom animation going on with his right hand that I can't work out.

Premise: Feedback Ideas

After presenting my ideas for my animation I was given the idea of making the characters of the Sun and Moon look like paper lanterns. This idea would fit in with giving the story a sense of history and culture along with helping me to think about the overall designs of the characters.
