Final Project Process 1: Inspiration And Reference

Topic: Environmental related
Story Content: At the end of the world, the only survivor is searching for the last resources, he aimlessly walks through the broken streets. He suddenly saw an old door, opened the door, and found a new world (fantasy). As if he saw hope, he found a tree of life, when he was full of hope to live and wanted to touch the tree, the tree suddenly gave a harsh light, and the camera turned, and he died in the street in the end.
Meaning: Everything is just his fantasy, and this animation wants to remind people to realize the importance of resources and not to regret them until the resources are exhausted when it is too late.

week2: pendulum rig

This lesson starts with an introduction to the 12 principles of animation.

Then the teacher showed us a lot of reference videos and told us that what we should refer to most is the real experiment rather than the animation made by others.

Then the teacher commented on the little ball-bouncing homework I had done after the last class. My homework is mainly the spacing problem when the ball bounces, and the rotation problem. Do not rotate the y and z axes when doing the ball bounce.

After the teacher gave suggestions for modification, I went home to make modifications and integrated the process.

week1: ball bounce

This week begins with a welcome talk, a quick get to know each other, and then some simple animation rules and ball movements.

The ball bounce is mainly the decline of dynamic potential energy, and it will gradually stabilize after the bounce.

In class, the teacher said that it is necessary to spend more time to prepare a clear idea before making 3d animation, rather than start to make animation. Therefore, I made a 2D animation before making 3D animation, so as to fully understand the movement law of the ball.

After finishing the 2D animation and animation preparation, I started the 3D animation production. It is mainly to set the motion curve of the ball moving y.
