Creating my 3D model has
so far had its ups and it's downs. Sometimes 3D Max works and others it decides
to mess about… anyways, the story so far.
As shown in the previous
blog I have included a little Jester, and the actual Jack in a box, box. This
blog however is basically a continuation of that….

This is just one, of many reference images for me....
Unfortunately I forgot to
take screen shots through out but ah well I was to excited and wanted to power
through everything else and create what I have created : )
Plus the previous post
shows how unprofessional the first attempt was, I was unhappy therefore I created
a new one. below I have included a
screen shot image of where I am at the minute with my 3d model.
Friday brought the idea
parade to the university class of 3D animation…of course being human I was
nervous to present my idea but was incredibly relieved come the time it was
over and the idea was presented.This in
turn however meant that animation has to be created, it wasn't until I started
animating the Graphic Camera that I realised the difficulty of it.
Seeing that no matter how
hard I tried, or types in different scenarios I typed into Google, Ask, all the
other search engines I could not find inside, well deep inside the Crown
Graphic Camera. Therefore I had to consider a whole new idea for my animation
part of this assignment…..
Problem?
In the beginning I thought
so, but then I began to reevaluate the idea. I decided that I would first look
into the form of a Jack and a Box in order to create a new design to the Crown
Graphic Camera.
"For the animation, I intend to
open the box slowly to reveal the camera for the first time. The lid will then
open so that the bed will be placed for the camera to slide along the bed.
"
This part of the animation
was a send, I was always coming to create something like this, however when
finding deep inside the camera I had problems finding it. Therefore as I previously
stated, I had to rethink it…
"I decided that after that I would
rotate the camera to the back to reveal what little inside of the camera I could
find, but also I decided to animate a new piece of film being placed into the
camera itself."
And that is basically my idea = )
PS, I found this Youtube video showing me how to place a new image inside the camera.
The project I am facing I would
have to say is one of the hardest briefs I have ever encountered. To me
sketches meant everything's, now for this brief I have to work and base all my
effort really on the final design.
For the brief I decided
that I wanted to do a vintage camera. I wanted to redesign the vintage camera
and bring it back into the now. I decided for the brief I would use the Crown
Graphic camera for inspiration…
The drill was created in
class and I simply used the material editor available on 3d Studio Max to
colour it. I found this task a little harder than the pendulum as quite simply
it was more complicated. More time had to be spent on it…
A pendulum can be a simple
swaying device, known to help humans with boredom. The idea of it is simple and
yet it can distract us so easily…
For mypendulum I decided to go for probably the
most annoying of pendulums, as once it goes it doesn't stop alone, you have to
stop it. The pendulum was created in 3d Studio Max and I have included a short
animation below.
