As I need new animators, I made a crew call poster and stuck it everywhere at Monty.

-Got 3 new animators that day

​

I got stuck at SHOT 8 because the former animator used an old rig - masterSnakeRig.900.00.02, with the wrong UV maps...

When I replace it with the new rig (masterSnakeRig.1300.00.06), the anim is gone...

I watched and followed this tutorial Transfer UV onto a rigged and animated model in Maya

I tried and transferred attributes - the correct UV from masterSnakeRig.1300.00.06 onto this rigged and animated model...
but still not working, and everytime I wanna check the UV, maya crashed............... (CRYING)

​

So I asked around at Monty, and a professor told me in his experiences...

I have to break the rig first in order to transfer attributes.

Therefore, I re-examine the shot, "Is this a critical shot that has to include the snake or, without the snake also okay?", "is it necessary to deal with this huge technical problem for an unimportant shot?"

At the end, I've decided to omit the anim shot for this shot 08.

I should save some time for some other shots.

​

Then, I figured out a way to finish one more shot (SHOT 13) in one exsiting Maya anim scene (SHOT 14).

And I did a quick comp for SHOT 13.

​

So now, 13 shots in total...

​

No COMP & ANIM:
