Name project

https://youtu.be/1Drd5wYun4Q     This project was our name project, we had to write our name and then animate it in layout. The strongest technical aspect of my work would probably be the animation part of it. I made each of the letters float, jump, and slide onto the screen differently. The technical aspect of my work that could've been improved on is the different textures used in surface editor. I tried to make all of the letters have the same color theme so they would match each other.     The easiest part of this art activity was picking a font, and writing our name out on Modeler. Then picking the textures and animating them. There wasn't really anything that was difficult about this art activity, overall I thought it was pretty easy. Although the thing that took the most time and effort was the animation part of it. Trying to figure out how to make each letter show up on the screen.     The objective of this art activity was to write your name ...

Mouse Trap

https://youtu.be/lL4VcqnzGkg     The strongest technical aspect of my work would probably be my dominos. When the ball goes down the ramps, it hits the first domino making it, and the rest of the dominos fall smoothly after. The technical aspect of my work that could've been improved on would be the ramps. When the ball rolls down, it doesn't seem to roll smoothly down the ramps. The ramps could've been closer together to improve this problem.     The easiest part of this art activity would be making the trail of dominos. I feel that they seemed to fall smoothly in the trail that I made. The difficult part of this art activity would probably be making the ramps and getting the ball to roll down each one without falling off. I found that the ball would sometimes roll off, meaning that I had to change this distance between them and the angle they were at.     The objective of this art activity was to make the ball roll down all of the ramps and knock d...

Abstract Project

    This project was our abstract, where we had to make an abstract sculpture on Modeler. I used different shapes and connected them all together to make this sculpture. The colors start from blue and then transition into yellow at the end. My inspiration and meaning behind this sculpture is supposed to be life. When you're feeling down and "blue", you have to work your way back to happiness. Everyone goes through periods when they're feeling down, some more than others. The blue represents when you're feeling at a very low point. The green represents neutral feelings. The yellow represents happiness since it's a very bright and vibrant color. The yellow is where you want to be. In layout, I used three different colored spotlights, blue, green, and yellow representing the different stages.

Logo Project

    This project was our logo project, we had to choose a logo and design it on Modeler. The strongest technical aspect of my work would probably be the outline of the car, I feel that I took me time with it and made the lines as smooth as possible. I didn't want to rush and have the edges look sharp. The technical aspect of my work that could've been improved on was the lighting on Layout. I feel as though it could've been extended out more and move vibrant.     The easiest part of this art activity would probably be the text part of it. All we had to do was download the right font and lay it out on our logo trying to make it look as realistic to the actual logo. The difficult part of this art activity would be making all of the cutouts. Making points with the pen on Modeler, trying to make the edges look as smooth as possible. It wasn't too difficult, it was just time consuming.     The objective of this art activity would be using the different to...

Snowman

Image
    Our first project for 3D Animation was our snowman. We learned the different tools of Layout and Modeler. The strongest technical aspect of my work would probably be the arms of my snowman because of the way I modeled them and the texture I used. I tried to find a texture that best resembled wood, I really like how the arms came out. The technical aspect of my work that could've been improved on was the lighting. I tried to get the light to shine on my snowman's face more since it was completely shaded at first. Although now the snow on the ground is dark and doesn't really match the background.     The easiest part of this art activity would probably be finding the different textures to use on my snowman. I tried to find different textures that best resembled all the parts of my snowman. Unfortunately, some of the textures I used are a little hard to make out what it is. The difficult part of this art activity would maybe be making the snowman's different p...
This is my first post for 3D Animation.
