Documenting

This was a much longer process than I thought. I decided to write it all by hand as well so that I wouldn't have to switch between word document and Maya but this was a bad move. It means that I now need to type it all up. It is good because I can cut out any bits that do not make sense and all the unnecessary rambling but it covered a lot more pages than I anticipated.

This is a typical page of documentation:

As you can see, all writing and no pictures. I have added little image notes but basically all the pages look like this. The problem I now have is that there are about nine pages of documentation like this just for my tutorial.

The worst part is that I've read through it all and there isn't really much I can cut out. It is all full of different settings and important thing you have to do in a particular order for it all to work.

I wish I had typed it now so that I could copy and paste it and then just add the images but also save myself a lot of wrist cramp.

One good thing that I did manage to do was to screen shot my work as I was recreating it. This means I have images for every stage so can easily add them when I need them. 

This documenting took me about a week. That was to get the image spot on and to get the values and settings correct in the tutorial so that it actually works.

The writing of it should only take me a couple more days.
