INTRODUCTION
This weekly assignment was to make a simple scene with particles and
dynamics, and then render out a 10 second video. The project should not contain
texturing or lighting.
INTERPRETATION OF THE TASK
When I started on this assignment, I was a littlebit behind the other
students in my class, because I was home for a couple of days. I got the help I
needed, and did my assignment. The thing I was using too much time on, was the
concept. I had bad time, and needed to do the assignment in time.
CONCEPT
The concept I created for this assignment, was a brickwall and a ball
that was thrown trough it. I came up with this idea, to show a good example on
how dynamics and particles works, and that I have understood it. The scene
should also contain some kind of a effect, like smoke or fire. I added fire to
my ball, to give it the main focus. With the ball in focus, you’ll also see the
brickwall effect very good.
ACHIEVED ACTION
With my final product I will convey that it is more than just to add
effects and dynamics to an object. It needs a lot of work to look realistic,
and to get the right values. I worked pretty much to get the result I wanted,
but I could have done more with it.
SCHEDULE
MONDAY; Researched different images of lighting( 2 hrs)
TUESDAY; Researched different images and tryouts in Nuke ( 4 hrs )
WEDNESDAY; Nuke testing ( 7 hrs)
THURSDAY; Final compositioning in Nuke ( 7 hrs )
FRIDAY; Report ( 2 hrs )
RESEARCH AND WORK PROCESS
CREATIVE METHODS
When I started on this assignment, I had to find my design and concept,
and then create it in maya, as a normal polygon model. When this was done, the
pieces had to be given some sort of a value, which means that the groundfloor
not should have any other kind of function rather than collide with the bricks
when they fall down. This means that the groumd got a Passive rigid body, and
the two other remaining pieces got an active rigid body.
INSPIRATION METHODS
When I found inspiration for this weekly assignment, I searched for
brickwalls that was being demolished by a ball or other huge objects.
ANALYSIS
The issue I had to work with this week, was to get the ‘’animation’’
right. The different objects in the scene needed to get the right values, to
look so realistic as possible, in the way they should move or interact with
eachother.
DESIGN
TOPOLOGY/EDGE-FLOW/POLY-COUNT
The topology and edge flow for this assignment was a simple sphere as a
ball, and cubes as bricks. The groundplame was also just a simple polyplane.
COLOURS
It was not required to have colours or textures on this assignment, but
I choosed to go for a dark colour on the ball, and a dark colour on the bricks,
to actually see them being hit. The groundplane had a lighter yellow/beige
colour.
COMPOSITION, LAYOUT
Not required for this assignment.
SELF- EVALUATION
REFLECTION ON FINAL PRODUCT
My opinion with the final product is that this was a assignment with
many different issues to work with. I had to come up with an good idea, to make
the actual scene and get it as realistic as possible. The biggest problem was
to have maya running for a longer session. It was unbelievable much crashes
with this assignment, but by using some simple tricks, it went out pretty well.
I think honestly that I could have tweaked the values and settings a little bit
more, but I didn’t have more time to use, so the main focus was to get the
assignment done in time.
