Day 23 : Hw

1155 PM - 1215 AM

• Went onto moodle to check the final requirements and tried to put them into the server folder. I was able to get some of them in but I'm going to have to put them onto the hard drive
• There was one thing that I noticed which was that there was a cylinder relationship project and a morph project. My problem is that I have one project that is a morph relationship so I'll just have to discuss that in class.

Day 23 : Hw [B]

855 - 930 AM

• I started by opening up toy_animation_4.c4d but after trying different things I decided to reverse it and save to a new project file 
• In this project file I changed a few things but came to the conclusion that I REALLY don't want to do any significant changes to the animation that I had before and so I was going to try and salvage the original one that I had rendered out

930 - 1000 AM

• Rearranged the first keyframe
• Shrank the amount of frames used
• Changed position of head
• Made further changes to the positioning of the head in later keyframes

1000 - 1020 AM

• Setting up preview prior to render

Day 23 : Hw [A]

414 - 515 PM

• Added a target camera for no real reason other than maybe to add a close up tail flick
• Repositioned the bed so that the doll is leaning more against it
• Resized and repositioned the i block
• Moved the light
• Removed target cam (if I do decide to put in another camera it will be a regular one)
• I'm not quite sure what I did in order for this to happen but the bottom half of my mesh distorted. I was able to fix it by moving the whole object over and key-framing it, only problem I'm going to run into now is that it's going to move incorrectly through the animation
• It's proving to be a royal pain in my ass (to put it bluntly) to rework the animation (or keyframes) that I have so I'm going to create a new file where I trash all the animation and completely redo it. Any further reasoning behind it is that I'm fucking crazy.

515 - 600 PM

• Saved a new project file
• Cleared the timeline of all keyframes
• Reset the starting pose to something much like a sleeping position keyframed it

Day 23 : Class

1230 - 200 PM

• Posted mov file onto the server
• Had to make it editable to other users for it to be viewed on instructor's computer
• Watched and critiqued works
•  Suggestions made to my animation: switch start up position to the one in the end otherwise have it moving around in the beginning

200 - 235 PM

• Saved a new Project file called toy_animation_3.c4d
• Switched the start up position to the ending position
• This means that I'm going to have to change the time placement of the ear twitch as well as how it twitches
• Well in the mean time I'm also going to change the camera angle to something more dynamic as well as fix an existing problem which is how the doll actually isn't quite sitting on the floor, more like it's hovering
• For now I'm going to set up a preview to see what I have to work with now that I made a few changes and what I might be able to get away with.
