 Evaluation

This particular module has been difficult to complete and illustrates the complexity of 3D animation modelling. I encountered problems with the instructions to request the snake element to move across the screen along with the construction of the 3D skull. I will need to explore tutorials on 3D animation further to gain a better understanding on programming. To 'get around' the issue with the skull I created a face which, although not ideal, has allowed me to illustrate other elements within the animation. The grass effect has come through very well although it may have benefited from a little bit more texture.

3D animation is very time consuming but once the individual elements are created the collation of the components does give satisfaction to the finished product.

With hindsight and more time I'm sure that the quality of this project could be enhanced.

Grass effects

I obtained this using the 'Modify effect tool' using a fur and hair technique. I started with a brown plane then I chose the effect to make the grass look real. I added more detail to the grass including changing the colour to green. I also improved the texture of the grass by varying its length. I proceeded to 'render' the image which took 2 hours to complete.... Not too sure why this was the case?
