Web page
We have put together a rough outline of our webpage, with some sketches in place of images. Click on the links below to view each section (They will be linked together smoothly as the site is developed.) Other images have been temporarily placeheld with captions. Some text is in place, others will be written in following weeks.

Modeling
People
We are working on developing a standard rugger character that we can use in all of our models. We downloaded some sample skeletons and figures, and are now trying to adjust and customize them, and figure out how to position them. We have learned about skeletons and are trying to learn about skinning, and we understand moderately how to move joints and appendages.
Pitch
The basic model of the pitch (field) has been developed and a few screen shots have been taken. We used a image file to draw the lines on the field, and will be applying some sort of texture to make it look grassy. Sorry, it's not on the web yet, so for your imagination: the pitch is green with white lines in the appropriate places (see the sketches) and there are two goalposts. There are also little red flags down the side. Soon we'll have markers indicating where players stand, and then we'll have the people that we're modeling positioned on the field.
