The much talked about scenes and rock that resulted in our demise(Zi Hao)

Yong Sen is trying to make a gundam model, so pro sia. Anyway, the pic is my rendition of the scene that we are supposed to create, I'd show a screenshot of the real thing, but blogger takes forever to upload pics. Anyway, my problem with Maya is abit different from everyone else, my main problem comes from the fact that my copy of Maya randomly crashes whenever I load another scene or do some stuff. It's rather screwed.

Maya is a really big killer(YS)

I think I would like to become a 3D modeller.But I really need to make sure I am very pro in it that all the applications I know how to do. Now my skills really sucks, I tried making a Exia torso and it just dosent even look at all like a torso at all.I just feel like deleting it, but I guess I will keep it until I learn how to improve it. Dont know how long it will take though. GG liao. T_T

3D animation(Chu Ping)

A 3d video showing incredible animation skills. The animator uses custom models from DOA and FF to animate the scenes. The whole video is about girls fighting though. Watch in awe =D


P.S. theres a dead fantasy 2 too.

2nd Week of IN3D(Kenneth)

Hi guys, totally agree that 3D modelling is not only difficult and also time wasting.
Even a simple rock can take me like 5 to 10 mins... :(
Some of my rocks even went out of shape...

I agree with michelle that we should observe the different actions in real-life or event shows like cartoons or anime...Don't even think that animating an object is even easy..... It's difficult i can tell you....

Oh ya, we have all been granted access to the blog as authors... So everyone in the class should be able to contribute to the blog ^^

Journal 1(part1) : IN3D & Animation (MGSP-Michelle)

Haha i agree with Wee You. "Don't underestimate 3D modelling".... Rather time -consuming for now! Haha and Yongsen the picture you made there, looks rather professional ...but let's see if the class finds it suitable... ;)

But wow I have been looking forward to this module! haha, animation rocks! Hopefully everything goes well and fun yea. Thanks all for helping!

Wow Kuan Wei gone far ahead of us already ahh..haha, being able to create a flour of sack...Mr Douglas once said we should be able to animate a flour sack(which is so cute and soft) , with an imaginary skeleton inside or something. Cool! ( And, who says a person over age of 20 cannot use the word 'Cool'? Mr Douglas.. you can.. )

Ok I feel weird blogging here. I hope this post is relevant..if not please feel free to delete it okay? :) Ok animation is so exciting and I enjoy watching Jimmy Neutron and also other cartoons and animation productions... as well as many other shows....Suppose and know that you all enjoy watching cartoons and 3D animation productions too...Wenyan..correct?? :P..

The way the many different amazing kinds of lovable characters there mimic real-life beings' mannerisms.... and how similar and close they are to us..., how they make us laugh etc.. They are even closer to us now that they are shows like CJ7 ( where the greenish creature mimics a dog) and Lao Fu Zi where real life people like Stephen Chow(my Idol) interact with a toy character.

So if we observe human's actions now, I suppose it will help us animate in the future.. i think! So start observing each other now! Cya

IN3D today as at 29 April(YS)

Today we had a very nice lesson and that was to continue making the scene from Surf's Up. It was so nice that I think I am going to have nightmares about it tonight and I learn that Maya is PhotoShop, need to play with it then can understand. And I am wondering how to do the City one when I am screwed up in just doing a robot and a scene liao and they dont even have details yet also.GG liao. T_T

Today's lesson!(Wee You)

Yo! Wee You here!

Today we had a rather interesting lesson in IN3d! We were supposed to model a scene with a house, fence, and with rocks in the background. Sounds simple, but it was so time-consuming! Most of the people in the class were stuck in the modelling of rocks.

The instruction was to "create a sphere and move it vertices so that it looks like a rock." Simple? Don't underestimate it! Most of our rocks had weird jagged edges that made the rock look like ... okay there's nothing to describe it LOL. Anyway, Mr. Douglas commented that Kuan Wei's rock looks like a flour sack! HAHA flour sack =D.

Moral of the story: Don't underestimate 3D modelling baby. It is such a pain!

HEEELLLOOOO(YS)
