Week 4- Part 1

Overview

I have been working on improving the animation and integrating the effect into our previs, working towards our teams overall goal for the week of having a composited test render of shot 1 and possibly shot 2.

Mentor Feedback

I Was given the suggestion of transforming points using quaternions but decided to continue with primintrinsic transformations for this project. I intend to study up on quaternions and radians so that I can use this method in the future. I do intend to implement more variation in the size of the chunks and in the speed of the effect.

Version 1

• I created more variation in the size of the chunks.

• Was having problems with jittering as result of extending the effect much further.

• The way I had originally intended on integrating the effect into the scene was expensive so I had to create a work around.

Version 2

• Created a better work flow for integrating the effect into the scene.

• The effect is too straight and the timing is too constant.

• Needs to be more behind the car.

• Pieces need to rotate more smoothly

• Spreading and rising could be faster.
