Week 10: Flash

This week we started looking into Maya and Flash. Maya is a lot like 3ds Max, there are things that I yet to identify as different from the two programs. The program that I was most interested this week was Flash, I have always enjoyed stop motion animation and Flash seems like it has a lot of tools i have yet to discover. Hopefully I will be able to use the program future.

Week 9: Kuder

The Kuder assessments suggested many jobs for me. The two job that stood out to me were Film and Video Editor and Camera operator. these both seem like very likely jobs for my future. I have always been interested in being a camera man since I young. But in the video editing class I took a year ago has really opened me up to the field of video editing.

Week 7: Presentation

This week I finished and presented my project. I felt the project went well and was good. There were some things I wish i would have done more with, but time constraints made that not possible.

This week I class continued working on the logo but started with the program Adobe Premiere. Adobe Premiere is a video-editing program. The program will be used to edit together rendered out scenes to make an animation. This will help put the final touches to my final logo project.

Week 5: First Project

This week the class started a new project. The main idea of the project is to make a movie logo animation. To execute this project we were introduced to cameras. The camera can be used to make throughout a seen and get a movie like feel. I can see this tool to be very useful for the movie logo project and the weeks to come.

Week 4: Materials, Paths And More Modeling

This week the class explored many more things with 3ds MAX. We started with

Path control, I made an animated football go along a path. Also this week we took a small look at the material editor. The material editor seem like a very advanced program on the inside of 3ds MAX. The week finished off with learning more modeling skills, I found these to be very useful for what is to come in modeling.

Week 3: Learning more

This week the class went a bit deeper in learning 3ds max. This week I learned how to boolean, this seems like a tool that could be used to do very complex things. Also this week we started useing the edit poly modifier. I used the edit poly modifier to make a very simple airplane, I am exited to explore the world of modeling.
