Exercise 4: Bouncing A Ball Animation Tutorial Recreation Without Particle Effects (Maya)

 

    I struggled with applying the 2d textures and I noticed after I had already adjusted the face I made for the character/ball (a chick) that the face from the tutorial was uploaded to the pervious class exercise folder. I figured it out as well as the lights which I struggled a little too. The squash deformer was also a little difficult to get but I figured that out much quicker. I feel more comfortable using these tools now and am pretty happy with the results.

    Nice job. I'm sorry about the tutorial - someone emailed me about not finding the face, and I only then realized that it was in the earlier week's folder. Good work of persisting to find the face and manage the light and squash and stretch. Persistence is one of the critical abilities for 3D animation.

Classmate Midterm Reviews

 Everyone's projects were great and interesting but for this week's assignment I will look at  Tyler Getz's midterm project and Alex Lubeck's Midterm . Tyler Getz's Midterm This looks pretty cool, I like the animation that is there so far and the lily pads are nice. It would be nice to see some textures and to see the green frog get a face of some sort. The water would like really nice if it were textured and animated too, but depending on the look you are going for that may not be necessary, but ripples in the water would make sense. The character/frog animation can be improved by further exaggerating the squash and stretch. It may make it seem a bit more cartoonish if it is exaggerated a lot but it is already more abstract so I think it could work for this. Additionally, the animation can be improved by making the lily pads dip a bit down into the water from the impact of the frog landing on it.

Exercise 1: Creating an object using only geometric primitives (Maya)

Image
          For this first exercise I decided to make a simple pepperoni pizza. I used the geometric prism, flattened it and stretched the point to make the base of the pizza, then I squished multiple spheres to make the pepperoni slices, and finally, I used a cylinder which I scaled and stretched to be the pizza crust.        I decided to also include the four different views of my model above.

Exercise 5: Tea Pot Model

Image
      This is the rendered view with some lighting I did for my tea pot model. This model was made out of 3 main parts, the lid, spout, body/base, and handle. The body and lid were made by creating a unique curve and revolving around it to get a 3D shape, small adjustments were made to the curve to get the shapes seen here. The handle was made from a partial and modified NURBS Torus and the spout was made from an edited NURBS cylinder.      Here is the 4 view layout with the Outliner. I added some lights and a plane to act as the floor.
