Unit 67 Task 2: Animation Analysis

How I made my animation?

I made my animation by using Maya, I did this because I had no knowledge of how to animate in Unreal so I decided to use the program that I had more experience with.

I made the animation by saving Key Frames at points in the timeline where it was needed to be in certain places.

I rendered the video with Maya and with Adobe After Effects, I did this because it was the only way I knew how to render and it would continue rendering while I could work on other projects.

I set up dynamic lighting, I did this so that I could have a more natural lighting in the environment and so it could cast shadows which made the scene more intimidating.

I made the clown fall from the sky so that I don't have to animate leg movement, for the character I had him slide across the ground so that he could move and due to the first person camera, it wasn't obvious that his legs weren't moving.

I moved all of the models with the Move Tool and the Rotate Tool, I did this because it made it easier to move everything to the right place.

I used a camera as a perspective, I did this because it allowed me to film from a perspective that is able to move easily and I could group it with the head of the main character which allowed me to film with a first person perspective. 

I Rigged both the clown and the character with a Skeletons, I did this so that I had a way to move the limbs of both the main character and the clown.

I made the bridge and the parking lot that is used as the flooring of the animation. I made them by finding pictures of a road and a parking lot on put those textures on a flat cube.

I found the models online for the clown, the car, the character and the gun, I did this so that because I couldn't make all the models in time.

I used some animation techniques like arc (how the clown picks up the car), anticipation (how long it took the clown to pick up the car) and exaggeration (how big the clown is, how it fell from the sky and the fact that he picks up and throws a car).

If I had more time, money and resources, I would have added a background to make the area feel less barren, added more cars to the parking lot so that it looked more complete, make my own clown model since the one that I found online was low quality, made the clowns arm animation better due to how the car and the arms were out of sync and added a smoke effect for when the main character fired the gun.

Unit 6 - Assignment 2 - Task 2 P4 Analysis of a computer game GioGio's Bizarre Adventure is an adaptation of the fifth part of the now 30-year-old manga series, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, this game was released on July 22nd, 2002. Analysis of the game GioGio's Bizarre Adventure (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 5 Vento Aureo/Golden Wind) has tried to adapt the art style of the manga and it works really well, with most people consider the game's visuals gorgeous and a good representation of the manga's art style, though people have noted that the environments look blurry up close. The game has a nice Italian styled soundtrack with good voice acting and good sound effects. The game follows the plot of the manga so it has stages where you only fight a boss fight with different characters these, boss fights also have secret factors which are little events that you can do to get a bigger health bar, these secret factors are based on things that hav

Unit 71: Object-Oriented Design for Computer Games Concept and principles: Simplified understanding is when blueprints of code in a game is simplified by saying what it actually does so that when other people see it they know what it does and what they have to do with it. Re-usability is when assets are are copied whether it be codes or entire models, it is used for increasing the efficiency. Maintenance is when a game developer fixes problems with the game and improves the game, whether it be to remove glitches or improve the gameplay and physics of the games. Efficiency are things that are done to make game production faster and makes the game better. Real-world modelling is when a game implements real life physics in to a game, this does not mean that the game has to be realistic. Collaboration and sharing is people who work in a development company share the code that they have used so that it is easier to finish the game. Communication is when people who work on develo

Unit 66/67 Creating a 3D modelling For this assessment I had to make a 3D model of the enemies that will be in our game. The methods that I used to create my 3D model was use two different images of a male figure from the front and the left side and used image planes and placed at far different ends of the grid then I placed cubes using the cube tool and I add subdivisions for the cubes so that I could have an easier time fitting the model to the picture that was used, to alter the cube by extending the model by pulling the Vertexes by using the move tool I also used wire-frame mode so I can see through the model so it is easier to make the model to point of the picture. I started by making the leg and after I finished it I used duplicate special to flip the leg so I had two of them I also did this for the arms. The reason I did it is because it would have wasted time if I made the exact same model again instead of just duplicating it. After I finished the model I used the
