An alternate outfit for Maria. The top is from WoolOneP by Tentman, and the boots are from God of Death by Shukky, both from www.sharecg.com.

Maria Fashion 2

July 3, 2010

This outfit is Becky for Aiko3 and Aikotoon by Jean-Jaques Roh, based on Becky by English Bob. The shoes are from Idol for A3 by ISOP (which may no longer be available).

Maria Tanktop

July 3, 2010

Outfit taken from Tank-top set for A3 by mamomamo.

Maria Bikini

July 4, 2010

We had a hard time finding a bikini that looked good and fit Maria well, until we came across A3 Swimsuit by mamomamo. This site is a great resource for anyone who uses Aiko, though you'll probably need to use Google translator to read it.

Maria Fashion 3

July 6, 2010

A final outfit option, and a personal favorite. The shirt is from A3 unDs by Dyald, the pants and gloves are from Fetish set by Lelu.

Park View 1

July 8, 2010

A first attempt at building a city park. Maria and William are going to take a walk one afternoon in spring. The terrain was produced in Maya by deforming a plane; the grass was created by a variation of the displacement map technique we used in Dark Dungeons. The buildings actually float behind the park and some distance away; the camera will never be in a position to reveal the gap.

Park View 2

Work continues on the park set. The trees have been resized, a gazebo has been added, and the path is now lined with flowers and some benches.

Park Walk

July 8, 2010

We tested out the city park set by dropping Maria and William into it. It seems they are having a spirited conversation. This render made it clear that the lighting is a little too warm, even for sunset- we quickly named it the "nuclear sun."

William Ponders Maria's Crate

July 12, 2010

We placed the crate in William's living room to get a sense of scale. We determined that the crate does actually fit through the front door, which would allow us to film that action, if we decide to.

William and Rocio

July 13, 2010

William and Rocio pass one another in the hallway at Hastings University. The hall is lined with paintings which thematically match different disciplines- among them Modern Art, Religion, History, Philosophy, and Literature. The hallway also contains a (not visible here) COCTAb Cola machine.
