Animation Packacke update

2010-04-26T13:35:00.000-07:00

Here is the link to the update

In order to avoid making everyone re-download the 111 mb file. I have simple posted a 15 mb update. To install the update follow the instructions.

Instructions:

1. If you haven't downloaded the animation package already do so.

2. unzip the packageUpdate file and copy and paste the scene file into the 'scenes' folder inside the original animation package. It might be named the same thing so it could override the original file. I strongly suggest you rename one of the files and keep both of them just in case.

3. copy and paste the "iPhoneColor.jpg" into the "source images" folder in your original animation package

Scene Ready to Animate

2010-04-18T14:02:00.000-07:00

The package is ready for animation

** check for your shot number that your animating in FaceAnimations folder to see if there is a facial animation to go with it. If there is nothing for your shot then check the animatic and use an appropriate single frame from one of the sequences.

** when adding the image sequence to the screen follow these directions
- the iPhone and the Kindle have multiple shaders so make sure you select the right one. (use the attribute editor)
- iPhone: make sure you select the iPhoneScreenLambert and load in the sequence
- Computer: select the grey plane on the computer screen (probably the only one you can select) and load the sequence
- Kindle: make sure you select the KindleScreenLambert and load the sequence to that
- click the box next to the color in the lambert. Click the folder image next to the blank box next to "image name". Select the first image in the sequence and click open. Then check the "use image sequence" box underneath the "image name" field. The sequence should appear on the respective screen, and when you move the timeline the sequence should play

3D Ball Bouncing

2010-01-12T13:55:00.001-08:00

Here is the 3D ball bouncing made with Maya.

Again the video file was too small for vimeo so I had to upload it with youtube.

For this project I simply used a polygon sphere, plane, and nurbs sphere(for the background dome)

I applied a little color and keyed the scale and the position to move the ball up and down. I also adjusted the y position curve in the graph editor for a more realistic ball movement.

I batch rendered with mental ray and compiled the images and added a title in ToonBoom.

2D Ball Bounce

2010-01-12T13:05:00.000-08:00

Here is my 2D Ball Bounce made with ToonBoom.

Vimeo said the video file was too small so I had to upload it with YouTube.

For this I used ToonBoom and drew a ball and a line for the ground. I copied and pasted the ball and ground into 48ish frames and moved the ball for each frame and smashed it when it hit the ground. There might be a more effective way of keyframing the movement but I didn't know how so I did it the old school way.
