Assesment Review

After todays assesment on this module, there are a few things I need to upload to my blog, the next few post will be on topics such has textures and how i created/ edited them, a few examples of trial runs of the animation before the final one and so on.

Week 12

Week 12 and after a few tweeks and editing im fairly happy with my final animation result, after reviwing the work overall and a chance to crit myself and the opportunity to start over there would be a few things I would like to improve. It would have been nice to add better textures to give it a more life like look, also maybe learn more about the use of lighting effetcs. In terms of animation it would have been great to animate the flys wings and movements much more life like.
To create the final animation I rendered each frame to a folder (tga format), used free software called VitualDub and impoted all the frames, this crated the full moving animation and saved out as as an avi. I used Adobe Premier to import the video animation, added sound effects which i downloaded from the internet and edited in Audacity, finally expoted full project as a MOV file.

Week 11

Week 11, after a quick review of my animation I decided to retry animating the camera and also figured out how to key frame the lamp to switch ON and OFF, I have now tweek the animation and also changed a few parts in the study its self for example the carpet texture and colour also the skirting boards enlarged slightly. I re rendered the animation again, and have placed it back into Adobe Premier to alter a few sound effects.

Week 10

Week 10, I have now started to animate the project, after a few renders and tweeks I am reasonably happy with the way its looking.  I have altered a few sections for example I am no longer moving the bin when the fly hits it, I have also altered the room slighlty by removing objects that will not be in view as my main focus will be in one area. When I have mananged to complete the final render I will attempt to put the avi into Adobe Premier to add sound effects,the animation is based on comedy in the end but the sound will give it that edge/effect needed.

Week 9

This week i managed to complete the modeling of the fly, i added some basic tetxtures just to give it a more realistic look,ive imported it and scaled it in the study model,im now ready to begin animating. My plan is to get the animation down and close to the original plan, then i will try get the room lighting just right for the scene.

Week 8

Week 8 in 3D modeling, i think ill keep this room as my final one, i added a curtain pole and curtains just to finish off, next i wont to concentrate on modeling the fly, allthough i dont want it highly detailed the aim will be to make it look aleast beliveable as an insect.

Week 7

Week 7, not much progress from last week at present, added a few different textures to the  table carpet, looks much better than just plane colour. I also made a few duplicates of the lamp head,bulb and base, rotated them and positioned them to make a roof spotlight. The study itself is almost complete, next i wll be focusing on modeling the fly,then import and scale as needed.
