Animation
Project
During the past two weeks, our
class has been working on making animation(s). First, to make an
animation, you have to go to Blob Sculptor. I tried out different shapes
and blobs, trying to figure out what I wanted to make for my animation.
After a few days of thinking, I decided to make an animated turtle. The
turtle wasn’t easy to make, and after I tried out many shapes and
wasn’t able to successfully make a turtle, I began to feel a bit
frustrated. Then one of my classmates helped me out with the positioning
of the blobs, teaching me about the x, y, and z axis.
After I was
done with my blob turtle, I exported it to POV-RAY PPC. There, I tried
out different camera locations(angles) for my animation. I also had to
use the x, y, and z axis for this. After I was satisfied with my camera
locations, I changed the light source and color, experimenting with
different colors. I changed the light source and color with different
words and numbers. I saved all of my work and put it into GIF BUILDER,
where I put all my different frames. I arranged the frames in the order
that I wanted it to be, mixing it around and trying different patterns.
I saved it, wrote about my experience and what I did and learned in
AppleWorks6 and put my writing and animation into BBEdit 4.0 and put it
online.
