Fly through animation

The hardest part for me with this project was moving the camera in steady realistic way. I learned how use cameras and lighting to make my scenes better and more interesting.

project two flyby

The biggest challenge seems to be the camera movement. As I worked with it more, I got a little more familiar with it and it got easier. The actual construction of the letters and assigning materials is a walk in the park, but the camera work is tricky. I have a feeling I will be practicing this a lot.

Ashley's Project 2 "Fly Through"

This project was a little complicating. The

logo gave me many difficulties. What you

should do if you create your logo in

Illustrator is create outlines, then save it

as Illustrator 8. When you bring it in to 3DS

Max, extrude it, you will see that all of the

letters with holes in it are filled in because

it is a shape. Click where the hole should be

on each letter, and delete the extrude for

them. Click the inside lines of each letter, go

into the vertex on the modifier list, click

attach, click the outside of that letter, then

click show end result. That was the most

difficult part of this project.

Because thie is a company that installs home theaters, I decided to use Hollywood premier type spotlights to light it.

This video show the Melt Modifier a lot... I liked the effect of the letters melting & by reversing the process It appears as if the letters we're forming from puddles on the ground. I added a snake-like camera movement going through the letters & coming to a stop at the DC logo... I placed two omni lights at both ends so that I could have shadows coming from all letters & angles...

This is project one. My letter is funky fresh and awesome dude. It took 5 years to complete. I have nothing else to add. Seacrest out.

Marty Childers Project 1

My main problem was trying to follow my notes. I took notes during class rather than following along on the computer.

This was the project that drove us all crazy, because we didn't know the interface, shortcuts, or how to do anything. But I think it came out pretty good. Just a simple letter animation & camera movement...

Tyson Project 2

This project was called "A Single Letter." I
decided to do my whole last name. It was a
challenge to get the hang of the new program.
I did a custom floor mixing two materials
together. I had some issues with the wall
because I put two rectangles together, but
then I found on the creation tab the wall
creator. It was a big rush to see the final
project.
