Skin a hand

Today we have learned the skin tool. by this course we can set the bone for our modelling and connect them with the bone. and control them by controlling the bone.

this blog Iwill make one of my hand modelling which ws created on last semster alive.

first, modify the hand to make it easy to set bone inside.

I set 8 bones for 3 fingers instead of 5 fingers, because it is enough to control the hand by themin this animation.

adjust the bone by the bone tool in animation menu. we can not move one single bone by the select and move tool.

set two HI solvers for the two fingers can be moved.

unfreeze the hand and go to modify menu to choose the skin,and then move the cross on the fingers to move the finger.

Morpher

Morpher is a very interesting tool, and I can change my object to other terminal object which was modified from the regional one.

This tutorial I created was by a practice, and it looked like a flower finally.

Firstly, draw a box, set the value like the figure below.

Cover it to Editable poly, and then clone 2 other boxes. And change the colour.
Select the first clone box and go to toolbar on the top and go to Modifier, parameters deformers, and pick Spherify.

Then select the second clone box and go to toolbar on the top and go to Modifier, parameters deformers, and pick Ripple.

Select the regional one, go to Morpher, and pick the fist clone box as the first one, and then the second box, then the first again.

Open the automatic key, and change the first channel to 100 on the timeline 20, change the second channel to 100 on the timeline 40, change the third channel to 100 on the timeline 60.

Save and render it on the top of view.

Animation Path

This week I have learned how to create an object fallowing a path, and this object could be a camera as well, so I can set the path of the camera when I take a animation video.

1.A basic path

Firstly, draw a star path, and a sphere.

Select the sphere and go to tool bar on the top. Choose animation, constraints and path constraint. Then there is a dotted line comes out, pull it onto the star path.save and rander it.

2. Camera path



The way of setting camera is the same. Firstly, draw an object to shoot, and then draw a circle around it, at last draw a target camera and set the target to the object. Secondly, repeat the steps last animation.

3. Visit a room

At last, I create the path to visit a room.
Build a simple room, I have used the material editor make it easier to see, and one target light through the window as the sunshine and two omnis as nomal light, one on the top, other on the left to light the door side,

and draw the path by line on the floor in the top view. Set a free camera on it.

To create the animation, the important thing is setting the target , otherwise, it will only shoot one position all the time.

save it to AVI file,and render it.

Moodboard of three channels

when I got this mission I was quite confused, because I never watched any of British channels before except BBC news, but if I choose some Chinese channel, nobody may know them here, so today I have been watching several of TV channels in UK generally, and visiting their websites, at last I chose two British channels which I thought were very good at that moment, and these moodboards are some kinds of feeling after I watched them, they may give me some ideas about the storyboards which I am going to design later.

The channels

1.more4

This channel is for the people aged 35-60. there are more discussion analysis programmes, they try to find something behind the story.

2.BBC one

actually I quite liked this comprehensive channel , because there are a lot of different excellent programmes, such as movie, sport, news and so on, and it is more valuable than other one.

3, MTV

This one is the most famous music TV channel in the world, I like music so I often watched it , there are always some fashionable and wonderful music on it, and some programmes about music or stars are also pretty good, especially I like the logo of MTV, and this channel has a lot of interesting indents as well.
