Final Semester 1 Project - Progress so far!

-

 For the final project of Semester 1, I am required to create a 10-30 second sequenced animation combining the things I have been taught over the past few weeks. For the animation I want to create, I went with doing boiling loops, squash and stretch along with perspective. These techniques remind me a lot of fire, so I went with a flame theme which incorporates the boiling loop and warm tones.

I'm currently working on a test animation for the project, which isn't 100% done but I have been making steady progress. The software I originally wanted to use was Photoshop, but I found their animation tools a little bit clunky, so I moved into Adobe's Animate software which worked a lot better.

In the next few weeks, I'm going to draw my frames in Medibang paint and then figure out a way to import the frames into Adobe Animate, which will make the animation itself a lot cleaner looking.

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).
