3D Animation Final: Pre-Production #5

 I now have all my models set and a nice ground layout. I used a youtube video to teach myself how to build rocks from circle polys by using the vertex editor and sharpening points and then laying a rock surface texture over top. I did this to create a little rock/mountain wall around the border of my ground. I also used the cube website we talked about in class to generate a skydome image of a jungle, it took all 5 of my free generates to make one I liked. Now having a nice background. I went back to the paint brush tool and learned how to make vegetation like trees/bamboo/bushes. I am about to finish covering my ground with vegetation to really make the space feel full. I am very close to the point where I can actually begin animating.

Final Project: Results

I have now fully completed my project. It took hours of painting, especially Kanye because his filament was black, so I had to so many layers of red to get it to look full and matte. I spent a lot of time on detailing and they both look exactly as I had imagined them to. I also threw on some mod podge to give them the full glossy look. I am super proud of what I created, I think they are at a decently professional standard.

3D Animation Class Blog Entry #1

 Hello, this is my first entry for our 3D animation class and so far the class has been pretty solid. We have only met in class once so far so we haven't accomplished much in a class setting, but outside of class we have created 2 animations. Even though the animations are very simple I have always been eager to learn how to render 3D animations so this is pretty exciting stuff and I'm proud of what I have accomplished so far. The process itself was challenging and took a while to learn, but I have a lot of experience dealing with 2D animation so the hassle of keyframes and stuff wasn't anything new. Honestly the biggest obstacle I've faced so far is just turning in my projects because the dropbox has been difficult. I know we were only expected to turn in the playblast, but I was very curious what the animation looked like rendered so I taught myself and I'm glad I did because of how the results turned out. It is also very cool how we are learning to rig our own mo...
