Today we have animation tutorial.
Today we have animation tutorial.
Then I have look around the submarine propeller style rotation...
Here is one forum discussion

Here is one expression code could be help me.

| Here is just some note I take, try to remeber what we have done on today tutorial |
May 24th
 |
 |
| After apply the HDRI image the ocean horizon view |
 |
| The underwater volume cubefog seems too dark, might change the cubefog color later on, apply the oceanshade on the spotlight color, and make it time by using ocean1time= time; so it keep pace with the time and the light condition will change a little bit, but it suppose to be have some caustic pattern on the sea button from my tutorial |
 |
| Create the auto swimming fish rigging by using Expression Try to find that out and create the style of fish swimming, to have more dynamics movement. |
Back to the character, my little spring seems during you change its position, it will swing to the other side, and then the whole polygon turns to other face, so you could not see the texture on the model itself... Steven on the lastest tutorial teach me a techinique about the face/world axis? nearly forgot but though change it help my spring not change to other postion but once you click the control circle, it still will get the same result, need to ask him asap. and also try to have a look the tutorial last time I have look. Make it in to the end to see what will happen.
Seems we did not got much more time on all the stuff, I should focus the character at first, and try to start the animation part as quick as possible.
-Some thought make it clear at first...
Q1.finish the rigging and start with the animation [fix out the normal black problem]
A: seems it is quite hard to change the nurbs or polygon, what i will do later is using two-side shading texture to make it works.
 |
| If the mib two-side shading does work, probably the character rigging part is finish! |
 |
| Yes, it is working! =_= but acutally not, that made me spent some times on it still no effort. |
Q3.add more stuffs into the scene.
Ex.
- Improve the terrain if really need to have the good terrain
- Creating water bubble under the water bottom tutorial
- Create the water bubble texture
- Create the foam
Q4.Fix out the light that what i want, as Steven suggest the 'Torchbeam' style light.
A: It seems the ocean shader make the caustic pattern on the water surface/ or some reasons did not find out, but just break the sea surface link with the spotlight(for the ocean surface), then it works fine. But still need to get rid off the water bottom casutic as my scene is going to the deep// and might be need to change the ocean shader reflectivity
I follow one tutorial called 'Gnomon workshop: underwater scene' But there is one light ray part missing... Here is the link for the help... However, it seems only work at Maya software, not the Mental Ray...

| Before |

| After |
 |
| Different Ocean shader transparency result |
Script update, after what the last project 2a presentation, I start to rethink anything need to change for the storyboard. Like Szilard comments 'Consider how import it is peruse the idea of the character chasing a female character'. I will not use that idea any longer, so it might be two character already knew each other/ or like 'To navigate the hazards you detailed in your storyboard in an almost pitch black environment'
- instead of the drilling, replace with it by using the 'bomb'? How it explode check here.
May 26th
Tutorial about ambient occulsion might be useful for the next week
Follow this vedio to create the underwater bubble...
 |
| Testing the smoke for the opening scene, the render result looks quite different with what i expect, apply the self shadow but did not see any of them... |
 |
| Looks better than before |
Today when I have recheck the material apply on the spring, it seems still does not working, so I asked Byron and Steven help together, still do not get the correct one. We find it probably somehting error inside my maya setting. After it could not work on the twoside mental ray material, I was thinking only way is just apply some texture on the defalut lambert material.
Some notes for today's class. [ character/create clip and Multi pass render ]
I thought that video cover all the knowledge about the multi pass render, if i have got much more time after i fix out all the problem and finish the animation/scene adding/lighting, etc. I will try to have look them.
 | |
| It is time to jump into the animation part... otherwise... |
 |
| Test with the underwater scene, it seems the light too bright, and fog seems gone... |
 |
| Apply the particles (bubble) on the character |
 |
| When I start trying to do the animation, I found my spring part move out the master control... T_T but anyway fix out in the end. could do the animation soon... |
 |
| Seems there are some black points inside the bubbles, figure out it is the physical sun and sky problem... never mind... |
June 3rd
Link constraint for carry the object (will be use for my animation)
 |
Several test render during these two days doing animation. Hopefully can finish all the animation section today. Quick finish the animation could be get the render images soon. Then can focus on dynamics, texture and lighting, or compositing in the After Effect.
June 14th
spent few days focus on the the way i want to produce for the render setting and other stuff.
this is my the link teach you how to using the depth of field with easily setting up.

This seems really quick for render...
so i probably will render all of them during the friday...
