Notes

It’s Friday!
Finish up whatever you don’t finish over the weekend as homework.
Remember only one of the partners needs to create / prepare the 1st draft Graveyard Level Screencast. Likely (almost guaranteed) the level designer.

9:40 Attendance and Article

9:45 Blender

Animation Review
Dope Sheet – creating keyframes to pause animation
Going back and forth between Dope Sheet and the Timeline – and using both at the same time.
Autokey animation – it can help… it can be the devil. Likely use both as a professional, I have to be honest, I really like the control of manual keyframing.

City – inspired by Owen’s (CAWD2) project.

Here are the rules:

Cars have to obey stop signs.
Cars have to be roughly moving the same speed and ack like cars – they are all Honda Civics. They can’t fly. They can’t scale up or down.
No clipping! (Car’s can’t go through each other).
You can cause accidents if you really want, but they have to look pretty real. No clipping. No having a fender bender and the car that gets hit gets knocked to Africa.
Feel free to drift, skid, whatever.
All cars must move!
Adjust your time to fit your animation.

By 10:35 today create a viewport rendered animation at the full 1080p size, with Material Preview view. The camera won’t move, it stays where it is. Call your file “(lastName)Cars.mp4” and place in the “cars” folder on the public. My file would be called:

“croninCars.mp4”

I am copying the folder down at 10:35 right before our outside mask break – you have to get something up there with the correct file name for credit.

At 11:35 at the end of English we are going to watch them all. We are looking for anyone breaking traffic rules, turning cars into space ships, etc.
