Assignment Renders.. Render 2..

For the volcano idea I have decided to get 3 separate videos and combine it into one enabling me to use different view pionts of the volcano and edit it together as one video file.

Assignment Renders.. Render 1..

This Post will consist of renders of my scenes and models and will be added to through out my progression..

Valley Tropical Scene using different lighting effects

Day...














Sunset...














Rocky Texture (This will be used for my assignment)














Fantasy Render (This looks more unique and would look good for my first scene maybe)














This is a particle effect added to appear a little like snow.

Week 8 - EXPLOSION!



This tutorial was easy and took 10 minutes it did look rather complicated but with just adding a simple particle effect and an explosion modifier who would of though it!

Week 6/7 - Blender Fluid and a Falling Cloth?!?



Here I had a ago with the fluid I didn't quite understand the tutorial so I watched various ones on youtube that helped me understand it better then I had a shot at it with just purely messing about.

Also I thought it would be nice to do a cloth tutorial as it seemed interesting.
Both tutorials very easy and I had no problems once understood.

Week 5 - Blender Game Engine


http://mojo.csd.anglia.ac.uk/cgat/marie/2009/02/24/blender-domino-tutorial/

This is by far the easiest and most fun thing you can do on blender, this was very simple and I will try and include this method into my assignment. (logic, rigid body and choose the bounds to the object applied too)

Week 4 - Particles



This was very easy tutorial I found it easy as I have already have played about with particles last semester didn't follow the tutorial but the lattice bok would of worked well with the flame maybe next time..

Week 3 - Lattice Deformation Animation



For this tutorial I followed Neal Hirsig’s Video this was slightly harder than the others but was very simple the only trouble I had was positioning of the lattice to make it look slightly realistic but it turned out ok. For this I used the keyframe tool for the location of the object and the rotation for the rollers and parenting (Ctrl P) the object with the lattice to apply the deformation in the animation.

Week 2 - Follow Camera and Follow Paths.


This is a video of a camera following a ballon around a created path.







I achieved this animation by help form Neal Hirsig’s Videos. This was a slightly more challenging task as there was a lot more depth and the tutorial was very easy to understand as how it was presented. I didn't encounter any problems as such but it did seem to a while to get to grips with the bezier curve.

Week 1 of SEMESTER 2 ... Unusual Ball Bounce.

This is a simple video using techniques from Neal Hirsig’s Videos. This video shows the use of key frames both location and rotation of the Ball object using the (i) key, in the blender timeline moving the Ball around. This was a very easy to do and took no more than 5 minutes to achieve.
