Week 7, 3D animation for games.

Final submission.

It seemed my laptop problem, I'm not able to compile 

all the animations in one single Maya file. Therefore, I use Premiere Pro

to compile instead.

Exercises

- Create parent constraint by using AdvanceSkeleton5

*order to select objects to parent is important*

- First = target, Second = thing want to constraint

- object comes off the target, use "visibility" to make life easier ( no need to unparent)

"Oh, I know this story."

- Free source from wavsource.

*Maya only accept wav format of audio sources.

Trax editor

- Able to import audio

- looping

- adjust speed of the animation

Dope sheet

- adjust frame (snap to frame properly)/speed

Week 5, 3D animation for games.

After doing the basic movements of  a character for game

then we learnt how to animate game character with weapon.

Hotkey for parenting weapon to the model, P

We can use AdvanceSkeleton5 to do parenting as well.

Here is the compilation of all block-out animations for 

Conan with weapons.

Block-out included :

- idle

- walk

- run

- attack

- block

- death

Week 3, 3D animation for games.

The personality of Conan is a little bit dumb(stupid) 

but he's an optimistic guy.

*The original Conan looked fierce so I adjusted his mouth.*

Block-out playblast

I've combined all the loops altogether and here's the result.

*It's the block-out only, not polished yet*

The actions that I've done included:-

 - idle

- walk 

- run

- jump

- attack

- jump

- death.

Week 1, 3D animation for Games.

Highend3D is the website where we can get the free and rigged 3D model.

For this semester, we are using MR CONAN.

Since we learnt 3D modelling before, 

therefore I have no problem with the three main hotkey - Q,W and E.

For animation, 

S is SO SO SO important.

*lesson learnt during practicing* 

Mr Kannan also taught us a few other keys to help us work easier:

1.  alt + v = play/stop
2.  >/< = jump from each key frame
3. alt + >/< = frame by frame
4. hold shift + LMB = selected keyframe
5. hold shift + dragging along the timeline

Moreover, AdvancedSkeleton5 help a lot in selecting the joints.

Week 2, Collaboration and Professional Associations.

We went to R&D studio to attend the briefing of our project on Monday and now we

are clearly knew what are we supposed to do like finally. 

 Since I'm not good at programming therefore I'm in charged of the visual/art part for 

the AR application. 

Below are my sketches for the UI/HUD design.
Since the history twin forts at Kuala Selangor are closely related to the Dutch colonial period,
therefore it inspired me to use the Dutch pattern as the design element.

Moreover, I also did a sketch for the flow of the application.

Also, I found few of the fonts that is suitable and can be used in the application.

Week 1, Collaboration and Professional Associations.

For this subject, we will be doing one of the the projects from R&D studio.

It's a group project and this time I'm teamed up with Jeen, Ash, Robert, Jay and Boyie.

Our group is doing the AR prototype for Kuala Selangor Fort.

After a short discussion, these are the thing that we currently wanted and needed to do.

I've done the mood board for some UI/HUD design according to our discussion result.
