It is mainly categorising tasks and then saying whether they are completed or not. I find it easy to do a gantt chart because it basically does it all for you. Type in a beginning date, type in and end date and its done.
Another thing I have been doing is developing my own tutorial. My HDR images are getting better and each time I go on Maya I improve a bit more.
I had a bit of trouble with the tutorial I was using as a base. Basically the tutorial just states to use the mental ray preset materials but I didnt want to do that. I think its cheating as you don't actually have to work out any settings. So basically this has been my next task - to create a material that looks like a Mental ray preset but isnt. Obviously Im using a blinn.
Another issue I'm having is creating a tutorial that is not exactly the same as the other tutorials. I have taken bits out of each one but I'm scared its going to be the same. I havent worded it the same but I have used the same method. Lily did assure me somewhat and she made a good point - if there is only a few ways to do things, then the tutorials are all going to be the same. Mine isnt exactly the same and its my own creation of the scene so some things are going to be different.
Anyway this is my creation so far. This is near enough the HDR image I will use and create in my tutorial.
