Homework:

Begin work on your final project!

Your goal is simple:

1. Complete your 3D environment, and render a short movie of your environment scene! Tell the story of your environment with your camera work!

• If you are still unable to render your environment, please notify me with questions and info about the way your scene is set up!
• I will give you feedback on your lighting and texturing on next monday. Please send me renders of the sections you have completed in the meantime!

2. Begin work on your final character animation! The story for this animation is as follows:
Story: A character walks into a room and sits down, ready to relax after a long day.

• Instructions:
• Block your animation by next monday! Build a simple scene with good lighting and use it to animate this scene!
• You have the next two weeks to animate your final! This should give you enough time to make changes to your 3-D environment as well! 
• The process of animating a character moving will take some time. As a class, you will compare notes, successes and mistakes on Monday!

PLEASE BE ADVISED: Your final animation is a project that channels everything you have learned this semester. Because of this, I am expecting you to stay ORGANIZED during your production! I will be reviewing lighting and layout, in addition to your animation storytelling!

Work hard these next two weeks! Eat lots of food this holiday! Have a great thanksgiving! =D

Homework for Monday:

Your homework for Monday is to create a 20-30 second movie, where you film your entire room!  Create a camera, and render an HD movie of your environment! Showcase the viewpoints you have selected in your 5 views! Take your time, and show us the most important sections of your environment! If you were absent, and have any questions,

1) Acquire notes from your classmates on the finer points of camerawork and rendering. I will post some notes for you soon.

2) Email me if you have any questions about the rendering process. Inform me of the notes you have already acquired so I know where to guide you!
