Animation 30 second sequence - Progress

-


For the final project of Semester one, I was tasked with creating a 30-second sequence demonstrating various techniques that were learned over the semester.

Originally, I wanted to do the sequence in 2D, but I found the process a little bit tedious, so I decided to take a different approach and do the animation 100% stop motion clay animation. The first technique that I used was the boiling loop, and also incorporates perspective and squash/stretch.

Below you can find my draft for how the first scene plays out, this gave me the basis for my animated sequence and the rest was completely winged so that it would feel a little more 'experimental'.
I generally enjoy claymation because of the charm it has and how easy it is to manipulate the frames as you are working with a physical, moldable object which opens up a lot of possibilities when it comes to basic animation techniques.

 By the end of next week, the rest of this animation will hopefully be completed, with a possible title and end card included in the 30-second animation.

3D Modelling - More Cloth + Displacement practices

-

  Further progress on my current 3D Modelling project! Added pillows to the bed and changed the walls as the theme will be more Medieval, so that I can incorporate the sword models I have made. The walls are actually a displacement modifier which is created using a bitmapped image which 'bevels' the cobble bricks, making them look more 3D. This adds texture to the walls and makes them look more interesting. I want to apply the same technique to the floor in the near future.

3D Modelling - Cloth Modifier

 For my next project in 3DS Max, I wanted to model a bedroom - so for the bed, I wanted to give the cloth modifier a shot and this is the result. Though it was a little frustrating at first in terms of figuring the modifier out, I managed to achieve the result shown below!

3D Modelling - Geolocation

-
Image
In this project, I geolocated my bitmapped objects into Google Earth Pro. To achieve this, I began by exporting the files into an app called Sketchup. For the textures to stay intact, I had to give these files a short, 6-letter name and keep them in the same folder as my 3DS model. After this, I can proceed with selecting a location in the Geolocation mode of Sketchup and exporting the file as a .kms. After this, I can open the file and view these models in Google Earth in my selected location (which was the Meadows in Edinburgh).
