Week 1 Class Introductionary Session

Session Review
Today's session was mildly satisfactory. Despite a slow start, the lecturer, Jacquie, was welcoming; however, the course content looks promising, especially since my precise reason for choosing this course was to expand upon my basic knowledge of animation and human locomotion.

Saturday 2nd May 2015 Session Review Animating the character Max By Sebastian Jones A s the final submission date draws near I will ignore Jacques word son only using Maya for our 3d animation work and use 3d studio max since I was unsuccessfully in downloading Maya 2013 and 2014 on my home PC. In addition, the character rig was from the 11-second club and I recognize as the model I used for my BTEC Level 3 games design animation module and the creator has done a good job since the rig is cleanly setup where each joint rotates and moves accordingly and there is a broad range of facial feature movement controllers.

The design process for this animation was fairly simple since I only drew three frames although I created an extra frame after the frame when the archer releases his grip on the bowstring because it looked ridiculous keeping his hand in the air despite the fact the arrow was fired. In addition, once I returned home in the evening to rest and browse for additional 3d model characters to create 3d attack animations. The new Mortal Wombat X had influenced me to search for free Mortal Kombat characters rigs. Eventually, I discovered a selection of them however they were 3ds max fbx file only although once I opened 3ds max 2013...

Monday 27th April 2015 Session Review C ontinuing from the previous sessions yesterday of which I am personally proud of the amount of work I had created. I have begun to truly fill the structured module review I created on the twelfth of April 2015.  In addition, I had contacted my lecturer yesterday evening to inquire on firstly what topics to discuss in the report and secondly was my writing to be a reflective review of the module or a learning report detailing my critical steps during my final major project(goblin animation collection)... I have also started to research cave painting and Grecian pottery art and animations. The reason for this was because after reading the brief and practical work criteria it detailed in order for me to achieve a higher grade I would need to build a collection that displayed a wide variety of styles and cultural concepts. So I thought to myself the simplicity of cave paintings and Grecian art would match my rough hand-drawn 2d anima...
