Problem Solving

I've finally managed to get myself back onto the model in blender. I have to say, I've not missed it but I have become a bit sluggish trying to remember all the controls again, its only been a week or two as well.

So last time I was preparing for the assessment and now I am sorting the issues out and perfecting it some more. Although the textures failing is a major issue I have, I may just leave it simplified, unless of course I have plenty of time to sort it (which I doubt I have). In the meantime however I will be creating a track around my model that the camera will follow.

Making the Camera Track
I used nurbs and paths to create my path. I have it all set out how I want it but the speed is all wrong and I kow if I try to perfect it in blender I will end up spending another two or three days losing the will to live.

I am solving the problem with speed by recording what happens on screen and creating a short movie clip from it. I will then edit the movie and cut parts, slow bits down and if needed, speed parts up. I don't want to use my own laptop this time round as Bandicam and blender lagged out half way through making it difficult to read on section. So far I don't think there is any software on the computers at the market hall that do what bandicam does. I am sure if I get someone to ask whoever sorts the computers out though that it will be done pretty quickly (bandicam is free anyway and im sure there are other programs out there that might be more trustworthy if that's an issue... right?)


EDIT:
I waited too long... the software still hasn't gone on the computers... and I didn't realise that I have to add all the textures again if I take my blender file off the computer and onto my own laptop!!! AHHH! and assessment is near too... now what D:
