Day 18_Class_Tuesday (Nov 1st, 2011)[No Classes!!/Advising Day!!]

12:10 - 3:10 PM
  1. Copied files for card over to folder 11_1
  2. Went through the list of primitives that I still need to make
    1. Snowman
      1. Scarf
      2. Sticks
    2. String of lights
    3. SnowGlobe
      1. Art Supplies
    4. Snow Flakes
  3. Snow Flakes I'll have as being spheres since I'm not going to do a close up of them
    1. Snow Flakes = Done
  4. Drew three splines
  5. Connected them
  6. Added circle spline and swept them into their three dimensional form
  7. Got rid of the caps and made the tips more narrow
  8. Saved
  9. Stick Arms = Done
  10. New File
  11. Drew splines
  12. Copied them and used the loft function
  13. Went and did a tutorial that turned out to be on how to animate cloth
    1. It didn't give the same results as what had been shown in the end of the tutorial
    2. Here's the link
      1. http://www.jag4d.com/scarf_animation_with_clothilde.html
  14. I didn't bother saving the file but I kept the link just in case I want to go back and do it again for something else since the scarf I'm doing doesn't have to move like cloth
  15. I found a page of tutorials as well, I haven't actually tested any beyond the one mentioned above
    1. http://www.cgtutorials.com/c4/Maxon_Cinema_4D/newest/4
  16. Created another scarf in the same file then named it Scarf_1_1.c4d (Scarf_1_2.c4d Hypernurbs)
    1. Added color
    2. Saved
  17. Scarf = Done
  18. New file
  19. Created snowman
  20. Merged scarf into snowman file called it snowmanfinal.c4d
  21. Opened the file for the set
  22. Added a sphere that encapsulated it
  23. Added material to sphere to see how it would react to the landscape inside of it
  24. Started altering the edges of the landscape in order to make the group fit itself to the sphere
  25. Added a camera to for it to capture the snow ball rolling over the hills when it get animated
  26. Enlarged the scape
  27. Made a boole btw the scape and the glass
  28. Unfortunately because I got the wise idea to apply hypernurbs to the scape then boole it after it already worked I corrupted the file. I can open it and I can work on it but a bunch of distorted windows eventually cover my entire work space and the program slows down
  29. Grabbed a back up file and corrected the problem by eliminating the hypernurbs
    1. And doing so slowly (doing one thing then waiting, do the next thing and wait, etc.)
  30. What has been done today:
    1. Sticks
    2. Snowman
    3. SnowGlobe (Basic shape of it)
  31. What still needs to be made/done:
    1. Art supplies
    2. String of lights
NOTE***: I'm behind by a day of work but I am going to be working on the files again tonight as well as Wednesday and Thursday. I will get caught back up.

Deadlines:
Wed, Nov 2nd = Primitives modeled + Stage set + Cameras
