One of my favorite projets that I made was my 3D model of ice cream. Through this project I learned how to use bump making in maya and how to animate in Maya. I also expanded my knowledge of different materials and how the look in Maya. I learned all this expire meting with different textures, materials, and bump maps in maya while following the guidelines set for the project. I picked this project because I am proud of the different features I was able to use and the way it looks. My greatest strengths in this project were using bump was maps and being able to create a good ending animation. My weaknesses were placing an image as a materials to create a picture and figuring out how to render the scene as an animation that was color managed. Im going to apply what I've learned to future projects. If I redo this project I would make sure I render it out color managed. This project encompasses all the skills I have learned in Maya so far.
Pen Project
My second favorite project is the pen I created in Maya. In this project I incorporated all the skills I leaned through this whole quarter. I used materials, the boolean tools, the manipulation of vertices and faces, the soft selection tool, and three point lighting to create this pen. I learned through my previous projects and applied it to this project. My strength in creating the pen were making the pen correctly portioned and using all the skills I've learned this whole semester. My weakness was using shadows because they would not show up correctly in Maya. I will apply all the skills I used her to future projects. If I did this project again I would make the materials look more realistic. I would make sure the tip reflected more and the clear middle reflected less. This project is a reflection of the skills I learned in Maya.
Multi-plane Animation
Another one of my best projects is my multi-plane animation. In this project I learned how different layers can move differently to create a feeling of dimension in an animation. I learned more about key frames in After Effects and tools, such as dodge and burn, in Photoshop. I leaned from collaborating with my classmate, listing to instructions, and experimenting within Photoshop. I picked this project because I am proud of the outcome of the project. My greatest strength in this project was the use different tools in Photoshop to create a scene. My weakness was the drawing of the tress in Photoshop. If I did this project again I would improve the colors of the animation because while I was trying to make it look like night time I believe it is too dark. This project is one of my favorites because I feel it looks good.
Story Animation
My other project is a story animation about a bee. I leaned how to animate wings to look like they were flying, how to use nulls, and how to combine compositions in After Effects to create a single animation. I learned this by experimenting in After Effects and applying all my pervious knowledge. I chose this project because I spent a lot of time on it and I feel like it shows all the kills I leaned in After Effects. My greatest strengths in this project were the use of key frames to crete a flying effect and the use of key frame combinations. My weaknesses were making the glass look like glass and making the bee look uniform. I will apply my knowledge of After Effects to any future projects I do. If I did they again I would make the glass more noticeable and make the bee look uniform in all the shots. This project shows all the skills I have learned in After Effects and Photoshop over this semester.
Walk Cycle Animation
My last animation is my walk cycle animation. During this project I learned how how to use key frames to create a the look of a sunflower walking. I learned this by listening to the instructions and experimenting with the arm movements. I picked this project because it shows my knowledge of crating a walk cycle. My greatest strengths in this project are the creation of the background and the use of keyframes to create a walk cycle. My weakness was my drawing skills. I have improved form the project because I am slightly better at drawing. I will apply what I learned through this project to other projects i do in the future. I would change mouth of the sunflower to make it look better. This project shows the skills I learned in Photoshop this semester.
This post is a tutorial of how to write your name on a computer. If you follow the steps below you can write your name easily. The end result will be the close to the GIF to the right. 1. The first step is to open photoshop and create a 150 x 600 pixel document. Once you have done that, choose a font that you like and type your name. It can be any font, but types of cursive work better. 2. After you do step one, you have to rasterize the layer. Do this by right clicking on the layer and going to the Rasterize Type button. Next, you crop the page so that your name is in the center. After you do that copy the layer. Do this by pulling the layer down to the small button that looks like a piece of paper with the corner folded over. 3. After the layer is copied erase a small piece off the last letter. Do this as if you are writing your name backwards. Next you copy the layer and then erase more of the letter on that layer. Remember that you have to hid...
This is my first animation, a ball bouncing. It may not look like much, but there is one main component that you have to use. It is called squash and stretch. You make the ball elongate and get thiner to create the illusion of speed. When it hits the ground you make it squash to look like it hit something.
Project Overview For the last couple weeks in animation I have been working on a story animation. First I had to make plot line and create a character for my story. I decided to make it about a bee who runs into the window of a flower shop while trying to get to the flowers inside. Next I had to create a storyboard to show how all my shots would go together. Then I had to create sketches of my character and scan them into the computer, the image to the side is my fist sketch of my bee once I scared it into the computer. Once I had the sketches into the computer I used photoshop to make them look cleaner and to add color. Next, I create most of the elements of the backgrounds in photoshop. I made the flowers in illustrator and moved into photoshop, there is an image of the flowers to the side. Last I animated everything in After Effects using my new knowledge of arks and timing, w alk cycles, multilayer, compositions, and ease in/ease out for keyframes. Reflection During t...
