Particles and Fabric

Here's my best effort to date, (2nd rendering as of 6/1/10). The process is still serendipitous, but it's getting better.

3D Cloth & Particle

Deciding what to do with this project was a little hard. I wanted to come up with some new idea other than a flag or cloth falling on a sphere. After thinking of ideas, I decided my cloth would be a curtain flowing in the wind through a window. It took me a while to make sure that the cloth was attached to the bar so that when the wind came, it wouldn't fly away. Once I got it to work, I was happy but I had no idea where to place the particles so I decided to put rain outside the window. It's a little hard to see the rain but you can tell its raining by its shadows infront of the window.

Material & Partical

This project was very interesting, it was a challenge getting use to the wind effect with the cloth. The rain was simple. I feel like the projects seem tough at first but after a few hours of experimenting with the tools it gets easier pretty quick.

I found that it easier to give my a self a root-canal, than to upload this video.

making the logo was easier than I originally thought; that being said

I really enjoy the whole exp. (with the excepion of uploading this)

CLF Logo

Starting this seemed easy but I wasn't sure what kind of logo animation to do. I had installed cameras to make it move but it ended up not working well so I had to give up on that dream and stick with the animation staying still. One thing that I struggled with the most was trying to get the letters seem more animated and have some sort of human characteristics as you can see in the animation. But once I was able to do that, I was happy to see it looking like it does.

3ds Logo

Here is my first logo. I had to diminish the size and quality to get it online. With the project I tried what I have learned thus far. I am still looking forward to learning new things and exploring what this software is able to do.

My logo project

I finally got to finish this, after many trials and errors and finally realizing my limits...at the moment ofcourse, that i made this movie. I'm so happy to finally get it and will greatly improve with the others. I had fun and i will love to make another one for a real company.

The background is the logo for the company I work for Port Royal Jewelers. I was just trying to work with the camera and lights a little here. But I am going to continue to work on this because we are going to use some of the videos I make for our window display monitors and for the showroom. I was trying to make the light go from left to right at the end but there are a little more things that need to be tweaked and eventually I am going to make the horse logo 3- dimensional and animated.

After I gave up on my lighting nightmare clip, i started to get the hand of it. I enjoyed doing it but it seem pretty basic. I am set with the probulon and move basics but I still need to remember the 2 million folders that needs to be navigated threw to find materials. I enjoied this assignment.

Eric's first animated logo

This was a fun project, It is realy cool watching something that I created come to life. This is now my favorite program but it will take the longest amount of time to get use to the tools and functions.
This 3D logo animation was the perfect project to start off with. I was able to incorporate animation, camera motion, and omni light motion. The camera motion gave me the biggest test with this project in order to get the correct angle and the correct look. In my opinion I believe it turned out very good. Take a look and enjoy!
In this assignment I chose the 3D Logo Animation. This project was was fun. I was challenged by the Motion Blur a bit, and still need some practice with the lighting. Overall, I feel like I am understanding the program better everyday.

3D Logo

Enjoyed making this except for the fact that I wanted to fine tune it but was unable to open it here in class. Also adding the material wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.
