10:10 Modeling our Swing

Yesterday you all did a model of a swing set. Let’s open those models and begin to add the swing. To help with the swing and to get the right movement, we’ll add an armature to the swing. Then, we’ll add the bird.

The trickiest part of this whole scene will be to get the parenting of the bird correct. If there is time this morning, we’ll animate our swing and add some animations to the bird including some drag!

10:30 Visitors – or Modeling for PSA

Vermont Highway Safety Alliance

In a couple of weeks we are going to tackle an animation project with the Vermont Highway Safety Alliance. If you do well, not only will you improve your modeling and animation skills (and get a good grade), you might even win some money. The last three years the VHSA has given out over $3000 in prizes and CAWD2 students have won some of that cash!

2023 we won People’s Choice Award and 2 Honorable mentions
2022 we won first place and AT&T Sponsor’s Choice
2021 we won second place and Sponsor’s Award

What: Create a 25 second YouTube video on the dangers of distracted driving.
This is a PSA – Public Service Announcement

The goal is to produce a video that will engage new drivers and highlight the dangers of distracted driving. We’ll make ours a 3D animation.

For now, let’s focus on an Asset Brainstorm…

Each CAWD2 student will commit to five assets. Everyone must make a road sign and a car, so that leaves you with three other choices to create.

Hmm… what could you create?

To start and for today: Divide paper or sketchbook into 6 squares. Use five of those squares to sketch out your asset pack. Put your name and any other details (design info, color ideas, aesthetic your after) in the 6th square.

This Paper 5 pack will be your pre-production planning. Pre-production is Essential to staying on task, on time and within your deliverables.

Your goal is to complete your pre-production sketches this week. When I see your sketches, I’ll approve you to move your designs into production models.

All of us will have access to the models. What we make will be for you and the community.
