WEEK 6

First time I am doing a proper animation. After playing with tools and knowing what each tool does and being familiar not only with basic tools but also the software now I can easily work and create something using simple tools and something advance by converting and doing some changes. Which I could not before as I was unfamiliar with software and everything was new to me.  didn’t know what will happen if use this but now I know which is quite helpful and useful now. I make using my own knowledge not by just randomly clicking and hoping something good to come out of this. When I first time starting importing scenes I faced several problems firstly it was not importing as some files were missing than after 4th try it was a success I quickly saved so that I do not face the same problem again in the future especially when I am at the peak of my final project. Than I have to set up the scene and match my idea and my animation and should not only match but blend and looks good which takes time. I had to set scene again and again until it matched my animation and my idea it took a lot of my time but was worth it as it looked and I was satisfied by it the main goal was good outcome and product and even if I had to spend it was for good and I am happy with my work and that’s what it all matters. I saved with each processing step as I faced a problem last time as I did not saved and when it crashed I had to do it from scratch so this time I saved and also saved on hard disk so my work is save even if it gets crashed I have so I can continue no need to start from start. The most time consuming was unwrapping I have to do it in photoshop with precisely so it fit and to the scale it with top and bottom not to mention the separate parts each and then import and add the texture it was very time consuming and a bit tedious I know unwrapping takes lot of time but if you look at it is the most important part if you remove it  takes away all the fun as because of it your model gets a realistic look. But in the end, it looked good and all of it payed off. Now comes the camera and lights if you have no knowledge of lights and camera your work will be very difficult as without this knowledge you won’t make your animation better as lights and camera helps enhance your animation. The fun part was the editing part which I liked the most as in this you can add titles music it felt like creating a very own movie scene and that too from your animation so it was indeed good. When you work for so long and see the product and your animation with music titles it feels so good from inside like a success that you have achieved
