Visual Effects 1 - Lesson 01
I guess today will just be updating my blog with everything I have done this month in Visual Effects 1. So our very first project consisted of learning about passive and active rigid bodies in Maya, along with constraints such as pin, hinge, etc. I've also learned about the different fields you can apply to a scene to make it have gravity, turbulence, etc. So for my scene, I used the generic one they gave us in class. I did, however, change a few things around to make it just a little different from everyone else's. I really like the work flow of this class and the deadlines were completely reasonable. We had to make idea sketches/storyboards and turn those in, then a motion test was due and my professor would critique us during class. We had a soft deadline and as long as we turned something in we were allowed a revision time until we had to actually present our projects to the entire class. So for my sketches I kind of just took pictures of my scene and tried to guess what I would make passive or active rigid bodies. I would later do a motion test and if something didn't work I would change it or improvise. We also learned about how to bake out different sections of the scene if something was freaking out or blowing up. So these are my sketches. I ended up changing a lot after having some difficulties and now being able to fix it.
