Sketch a little view of your scene using basic shapes. Once you've picked an idea, think about layout.
Stylization is your friend: Cartoony or simplified models can look good and be forgiving to flaws. Intricate or epic backgrounds, such as scaffolding, futuristic cities, and so forth are very time consuming and difficult. This is your final project, so stretch yourself a bit, but stay realistic. Pick something in the scope of what you can accomplish. It helps to have your scenes indoors, as it tends to keep things simpler, but the right outdoor setting can work as well. For instance, if I wished to use my bicycle from Lesson Two, I might model a garage, or a shot of a workbench with bike tools and parts on it. If you wish to re-use an element from a previous assignment, that may influence your choice.
Use tangents in the Graph Editor where appropriate to create these effects. Your jumps should look something like the ones you saw earlier, but with a bit more personality and lead in, related to the type of ball each one represents. In your animations, you should include squash and stretch, anticipation, and follow through. Your scene should support your story first. Are you animating a Rube Goldberg ball machine? Telling a story about love or bravery? You have full control over all the elements of your scene. (But if you want to use a cathedral or bunny as a starting Do not stick a model of a pink cartoon bunny into a realistic gothic cathedral, soleyīecause that's what you made previously. You may use any of the work you have done previously, although the artistic merit of your sceneĬomes first. Terrain should be varied and not just a brown or green plane. Rooms should have walls and floors and beįurnished with appropriate items. You will want a central focal element that your ballsĬan interact with, and a background that supports it. The environment should be complete and detailed. The balls are yourĬharacters, so you can try to instill personality or tell a very brief story if you wish. One of theīalls should be light and bouncy, the second ball should be big and heavy.
It's time to get in touch with your inner child and start playing with bouncy balls again.įor this exercise you will animate two balls jumping in an environment of your creation. Remember when an old tennis ball and something to bounce it off represented hours of entertainment? (My problem was finding one without dog slobber on it.) Well, you are in luck.
