Today we will being our Animation Unit! We will start out class by an all class "on your own" animation assignment and after you are done with what is listed below, you will begin Lesson 1 in Animation: Keyframing.
First "on your own" Animation assignment: Create a sphere (either Polygon or NURBS) to create a ball of your choice (beach ball, basketball, etc). You will need to animate this sphere so it bounces up and down three times. In addition to just bouncing it, think about what happens to the shape of the ball as it hits the ground and bounces back up. There is air compression that happens inside of the ball....capture that in your animation! Don't forget about the tools you have learned so far!!!
EMAIL WHEN FINISHED: duffyohs@gmail.com
Remember the steps to adding keyframes:
1) select frame 2) move object 3) press "S" 4) Repeat
Then move on to lesson 1 in Animation!
*HINT* When you are using your graph editor, use your MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON to move points!
When you are done with Lesson 1: Keyframes- EMAIL IT TO ME!
If you are done early, find something productive to do. If you would like, you may start building and object to animate for next class! Please know that you will be animating the object as one and "flying" it around your scene. You will not be moving parts, like making a skeleton walk...yet! So build something you can animate together, similar to your car model. Examples: Airplane, rocket, kite, vehicle (don't use your car, we will be using your car design for another animation unit!), etc. Use your imagination! You can make something up if you would like...just make it interesting!!
