Class 2 Progress Reel

Easily, the strongest shot on is the snowball push. I feel like that shot alone captures what I learned this term. But this is an extended, edited version for fun. Dynamics/particles/collisions outside of AM on my own time. Had fun, like I do

“It’s Snow Heavy” Final

Particles and Dynamic surfaces (It’s snow heavy playblast)

Just a playblast. I worked on effects while waiting for a critique on the animation. there’s a few different solutions in here. (using dynamic surface, collisions, cloud particles for snow, multipoint particles for crumbles, animated vertices on snowball).

GoCam shot (first person)

While I was waiting for a critique… I was going through some work from earlier in the term (I played with putting a camera on Ballie and with a shark). Why not combine the two? Here’s the jump test I did in October, that I used for the shot: Just experimental

dynamic surfaces – snow test

I was curious…so I learned how to make snow. This solution can be used for mud as well (the tutorial I used is in an earlier post).

It’s snow heavy – polish wips

I removed 50 frames from beginning of the original shot, so I would have more frames to make appropriate timing. It’s more realistic compared the the darty/cartoony feel I tried earlier. Still have some kinks to smooth out — tricky trying to sell moving holds and strains without making it feel wobbly.
